{{Convert to use Infobox}}

{{tl|Infobox UK place}} is intended for use with articles about places i.e. human settlements in the United Kingdom. It has provision for a location map, images, captions, and detailed information about the place e.g. population, governance, and public services. There is an associated [[Template:Infobox UK feature]] which operates in a similar manner and is intended for features such as bridges, castles, and hills which do not require the options about governance etc.

== Basic syntax ==

|-
| Area
| area_total_sq_mi area_total_km2 area_footnotes ''Only one value needs to be entered as a number and it will be automatically formatted and converted to opposite system''
|-
| Population figures
| population – ''must be a number'' population_density – ''will be calculated automatically if area and population are present'' population_ref ''(A good place to find the population figures is at [http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/ neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk])'' ''For Census 2001 use <nowiki>| population_ref = <ref>[[United Kingdom Census 2001|Census 2001]]</ref></nowiki>''

|}

=== Places split by boundaries ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Places split by boundaries
|-
|
Many locations straddle the boundaries of post towns, constituencies, districts or regions. Where a place straddles these, they can be accommodated with its own field:
* post_town ''AND'' post_town1 ''AND'' post_town2
* civil_parish ''AND'' civil_parish1
* shire_district ''AND'' shire_district1 ''AND'' shire_district2
* region ''AND'' region1
* westminster_constituency ''AND'' westminster_constituency1 ''AND'' westminster_constituency2
There are slightly more "esoteric" extras to handle some tricky situations of division splits, which, if needed, can be explained by contacting one of the users involved in this template's construction.

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Intricate template}}


This template should be used to produce an [[WP:Infobox|Infobox]] for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etcetera - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{tl|Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions see the [[Template talk:Infobox settlement|talk page]].

== Redirects and calls ==
At least {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Templates calling Infobox settlement}} other [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox settlement|templates call this one]] and [{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_settlement|namespace=10&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1}} many templates redirect here].

== Usage ==
*'''Important''': Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
* An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.

Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

| colspan=3 | 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.

! Parameter name !! Usage !! Description

|- valign=top
! colspan=3 style="background: #DDDDDD;" | Display settings
|- valign=top
| '''total_type''' || optional || Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. ''Greater London''. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to '''&nbsp;'''.
|- valign=top
| '''unit_pref''' || optional || To change the unit order to ''imperial (metric)'', enter '''imperial'''. The default display style is ''metric (imperial)''. However, the template will swap the order automatically if the '''subdivision_name''' equals some variation of the USA or the UK. For the middle east, a unit preference of [[dunam]] can be entered (only affects total area). All values must be entered in a '''raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols'''. The template will format them automatically.

This template should be used to produce an [[WP:Infobox|Infobox]] for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etcetera - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{tl|Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions see the [[Template talk:Infobox settlement|talk page]].

== Redirects and calls ==
At least {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Templates calling Infobox settlement}} other [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox settlement|templates call this one]] and [{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_settlement|namespace=10&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1}} many templates redirect here].

== Usage ==
*'''Important''': Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
* An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.

Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

===Name and transliteration===
|- style="background: whitesmoke;"
! Parameter name !! Usage !! Description

|- valign=top
| '''name''' || optional || This is the usual name in English. If it's not specified, the infobox will use the '''official_name''' as a title unless this too is missing, in which case the page name will be used.
|- valign=top
| '''official_name''' || optional || The official name in English if different from '''name'''
|- valign=top
| '''native_name''' || optional || This will display under the name/official name
|- valign=top
| '''native_name_lang''' || optional || Use [[List of ISO 639-2 codes|ISO 639-2 code]], e.g. "fr" for French. If there is more than one native name, in different languages, enter those names using {{tl|lang}}, instead.
|- valign=top
| '''other_name''' || optional || For places with a former or more common name like Bombay or Saigon
|- valign=top
| '''settlement_type''' || optional || Any type can be entered, such as City, Town, Village, Hamlet, Municipality, Reservation, etc. If set, will be displayed under the names, provided that either '''name''' or '''official_name''' is filled in. Might also be used as a label for total population/area (defaulting to ''City''), if needed to distinguish from ''Urban'', ''Rural'' or ''Metro'' (if urban, rural or metro figures are not present, the label is ''Total'' unless '''total_type''' is set).

|- valign=top
! colspan=3 style="background: #DDDDDD;" | Transliteration(s)
|- valign=top
| '''translit_lang1''' || optional || Will place the "entry" before the word "transliteration(s)". Can be used to specify a particular language like in [[Dêlêg]] or one may just enter "Other", like in [[Gaza]]'s article.
|- valign=top
| '''translit_lang1_type''' '''translit_lang1_type1''' to '''translit_lang1_type6''' || optional ||
|- valign=top
| '''translit_lang1_info''' '''translit_lang1_info1''' to '''translit_lang1_info6''' || optional ||
|- valign=top

216.185.105.36:

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Intricate template}}


This template should be used to produce an [[WP:Infobox|Infobox]] for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, etcetera - in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{tl|Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions see the [[Template talk:Infobox settlement|talk page]].

== Redirects and calls ==
At least {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Templates calling Infobox settlement}} other [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox settlement|templates call this one]] and [{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_settlement|namespace=10&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1}} many templates redirect here].

== Usage ==
*'''Important''': Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
* An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.

Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

! colspan=3 style="background: #DDDDDD;" | Display settings
|- valign=top
| '''total_type''' || optional || Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. ''Greater London''. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to '''&nbsp;'''.
|- valign=top
| '''unit_pref''' || optional || To change the unit order to ''imperial (metric)'', enter '''imperial'''. The default display style is ''metric (imperial)''. However, the template will swap the order automatically if the '''subdivision_name''' equals some variation of the USA or the UK. For the middle east, a unit preference of [[dunam]] can be entered (only affects total area). All values must be entered in a '''raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols'''. The template will format them automatically.
