Geographic information[edit source] | ||
| These fields have dual automatic unit conversion meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they should enter both values in their respective fields. All values must be entered in a raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols. The template will format them automatically. | ||

| Display settings | ||
| total_type | optional | Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. Greater London. This overrides other labels for total population/area.

| unit_pref | optional | To change the unit order to imperial (metric), enter imperial. The default display style is metric (imperial).

- {{Infobox settlement/areadisp}}
- {{Infobox settlement/densdisp}}
- {{Infobox settlement/lengthdisp}}
- {{Infobox settlement/link}}
Microformat
[edit source]The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles 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 Peo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a PPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
[edit source]If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.
If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes
[edit source]hCard uses HTML classes including:
- adr
- agent
- category
- county-name
- extended-address
- fn
- label
- locality
- nickname
- note
- org
- region
- street-address
- uid
- url
- vcard
Peo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Precision
[edit source]When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
