[edit] Coordination

The effort should be coordinated with the Swedish Wikipedia.

[edit] Structure

The article should start with an introduction, giving the name of the municipality its location in Sweden, bordering municipalities, seas or lakes and such.

Next, there is a table with quick facts about the municipality. A template for the table can be found at the bottom of this page. The contents are as follows:

The official name of the municipality in Swedish (xx) is to go on top as the caption.
A picture of the municipality coat of arms.
Municipal seat: The seat of residence for the municipal administration and main agglomeration ("Centralort"). In most cases it has also given the name of the municipality.
County: The county to which the municipality belongs.
Area: The area of the county in square km (km²) and the ranking.
Population: The number of inhabitants, the ranking and the population density. Also include a year for the census. (Statistics available at the National Atlas of Sweden are given for 1999.)

The sections are:

Politics
- Municipal Council
- Election results
Geography
- Cities, towns and villages
- Boroughs (stadsdelar), where applicable
- Parishes
- Political history of the municipality
- Sites of interest
Economy
- Major industries/products

[edit] Template

When applying this template to a county stub or article (which already all exist), it should be common practice to create a temporary page to work on, with the following notice:

''This temporary page is being used to expand and convert the article [[_]] over to the new format proposed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish counties|WikiProject Swedish counties]]. Please feel free to add or edit anything on this page to help in the conversion process.''

Don't forget to replace the "_" with the name of the article being converted.

To notify readers/writers that a new page is being created, place the following text on the country article itself:

'''A new page based on the new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish counties|template]] is being worked on at [[_/Temp]], please make any changes you want to make on that page.'''

xx is a municipality in (direction) Sweden, in the county of zzz.

This page deals with both xx kommun and the urban area (tätort) Stad

**xx kommun (*Kommun*)**
