Template:Geobox Settlement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It uses highly complex syntax which relies on many subtemplates which are common to the series. For general instructions see Geobox, please do read them. Below are all the fields for this particular template with one or more blank tables which should be copied into the article and then filled in (rather than copying the template code from an existing page). Please respect these rules:
- do not put multiple items into one field, use numbered fields instead (e.g. city, city1, city2…).
- enter unformatted numbers only, both metric and imperial values are displayed, provide either metric or imperial ones, the opposite is calculated automatically
- do not put note and references into the fields themselves, use appropriate _note field
- do not delete fields you did not use, someone else might need them in future
[edit] Legend
This template is based on the Infobox City, the output is very similar. It was, however, designed from scratch with mostly different yet much more consistently named fields consistent with other Geoboxes. See /Infobox for detailed explanation of the differences and new functions.
The following names redirect here, please use the most appropriate name when placing this template on an article:
- Geobox Borough
- Geobox City
- Geobox Town
- Geobox Township
- Geobox Village
