The wikicode below will create the Infobox at right:

{{Infobox_protected_area_of_Australia | name = Belair National Park
  | iucn_category = III
  | image = Australia_Locator_Map.svg
  | caption = Map of [[Australia]]
  | locator_x = 174
  | locator_y = 181
  | nearest_town_or_city  = [[Adelaide]]
  | coordinates = {{coor dms|35|00|47|S|138|39|21|E|}}
  | area = 8.4 km²
  | established = 1891
  | visitation_num = 12,345
  | visitation_year = 2005
  | managing_authorities = [[Department for Environment and Heritage]]
  | official_site = [http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/parks/belair/ Belair National Park]
}}

To get started, you can simply copy this blank definition into your page, and fill in the data. Be sure to read the notes below it.

{{Infobox_protected_area_of_Australia | name =

  | locator_x = 
  | locator_y = 
  | nearest_town_or_city  =

• Each group of items above is optional.
  • You may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
  • To hide the locator dot, leave locator_x and locator_y blank
• The IUCN category must be one of the following (case-sensitive): Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, or VI.
• locator_x and locator_y are the number of pixels to offset the locator dot from the left and top edges of the base map. Note: there is a 3px y-axis difference between Internet Explorer and Firefox.
• If you have only degrees and minutes, set the seconds to "0".
• Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields except IUCN category and coordinates.
• Include the HTML comments before and following the template; they help inexperienced editors.
• Please spend some time at the Protected Areas WikiProject article and its talk page for standards on presenting names and other data.

[edit] Discussion

Is there a reference database for IUCN status of protected areas? I am having trouble locating the data for Montague Island.--A Y Arktos 10:13, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I found this in the "Useful links" section of the WikiProject Protected areas page. With the data from this site newer parks and non-national parks can be filled in. - Diceman 12:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
