[edit] Detail

Status = Parish, Town or City

This is the status of the parish - whether it has been made a town or officially designated a city.

Governance = Parish Council, Town Council, City Council, Meeting, Grouping (can expand to 'Grouping with X')

This is the type of authority running the parish - whether it is a parish council/town council/city council, or alternatively a parish meeting,

or if the parish is grouped with other parishes to form a parish meeting or parish council.

Settlements is for (optionally) listing the main towns, villages and other settlements within the council's boundaries. Use brackets to wikilink.

Primary council is the term used for the local authority that has oversight responsibility for the parish council. This is usually the district or unitary council for the area.

County is used (no brackets!) to categorise.

In the absence of county, 'country' is used, e.g. when not in a county (e.g. unitary) can use just England, Scotland. For the Isle of Wight use "the Isle of Wight" and for the East Riding of Yorkshire use "the East Riding of Yorkshire" to get the right category.

[edit] Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
