[edit] Scottish Gaelic

I have been trying to put in a new section with Gaelic information which i have done but it doesn't seem to work. I want it to say how may speakers the county has and a Ranking comparing it to other councils like in the population section. I would be grateful if someone could sort it, thanks.

This would still seem to be broken. Better to remove it if no-one can fix it. Ben MacDuiTalk/Walk 10:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Documentation

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. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • "adr"
  • "county-name"
  • "fn"
  • "label"
  • "locality"
  • "nickname"
  • "note"
  • "org"
  • "vcard"

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

[edit] Discussion

[edit] MPs and MSPs

As regards correspondence between council areas and the areas of constituencies and electoral regions, the template seems to assume a degree of uniformity which simply does not exist. Within articles about local council areas, infobox lists of MPs and MSPs are likely to be more misleading than helpful. Laurel Bush 12:34, 19 November 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Value of template

It is currently my opinion that a "one pattern fits" infobox for Scottish council areas just doesnt work. It just imposes a false sense of uniformity, uniformity which, in reality, just not exist. Laurel Bush 17:44, 19 September 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Control

The control keeps displaying "NOC"
