Templat:Infobox Australian place/doc

See also: Blank infobox page | Documentation page | Discussion page | Examples page

Purpose

{{Infobox Australian place}} is used to add infoboxes to articles on places in Australian states and territories. It is not limited to populated places such as cities, towns and suburbs, but may be used on any place including regions, local government areas, cadastral units, protected areas and even some areas that do not fall into any of the preceding descriptions and for which no other infobox is appropriate. It is the standard infobox used in Australian articles. Australian articles using {{Infobox settlement}} should be converted to use this infobox.

The infobox has been extensively customised for Australia and includes automation that results in some parameters being redundant to other parameters. For example, if population density (in the |density= parameter) is not specified, this will be automatically generated based on the |pop= and |area= parameters. It is therefore important to read parameter descriptions thoroughly, to avoid unnecessarily providing redundant or incorrect information.

For infoboxes that require reformatting, general cleanup or addition of missing parameters, Template:Infobox Australian place/cleanup can be substituted. This will reformat the infobox and remove invalid parameters.

Usage

To use this template

1. Copy the relevant blank template from the Blank infobox page into the beginning of your document, remembering to put the code on the line directly before the start of the article's lead.
2. Enter values for the parameters as outlined under § Parameters, particularly |type= and |state=. Parameters left blank will automatically be hidden.
3. Preview the page with your edits.
4. Save the page with an appropriate edit summary (e.g., "Added {{[[Template:Infobox Australian place|Infobox Australian place]]}}", which will display as, "Added {{Infobox Australian place}}" ).

Examples

• Examples of this template can be found on the examples page.

Parameters

Both type and state are required parameters. All other parameters used by this template are optional.

Required

These parameters must be set for every infobox as they affect the behaviour of many other parameters.

The |type= parameter sets up the template for a specific type of location. It regulates which parameters can be used and sets the colour of the top bar of the infobox. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text.

Use of the |type= parameter

Accepted value	Description	Colour of top bar
city	A city.	Light Goldenrod Yellow
suburb	A suburb, a form of administrative region generally used in cities and towns.	Antique White
town	A town or other settlement.	Snow Flurry
lga	An Australian local government area (LGA) - a particular form of administrative region, used to create local governments. Many LGAs will use terms such as "Town of", "District Council of", "Shire of", "City of", etc., in their names. Note that the ACT does not have any system of local government, and therefore does not have LGAs.	Lavender
region		Mauve
cadastral		Light Yellow
protected		No colour (An IUCN category can be used to display a coloured banner - see § IUCN categories for protected areas.)
other		No colour
undefined	Occurs when the parameter has been left blank.	Very Light Grey

The |state= parameter defines the state or territory of the infobox's location. It sets up the template to refer to and link to the correct state or territory throughout. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text; for consistency, lower case is preferred. If the parameter is left blank, the infobox will default to au (i.e., Australia).

Use of the |state= parameter

Accepted value	State or territory
act	Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
nsw	New South Wales (NSW)
nt	Northern Territory (NT)
qld	Queensland (Qld or QLD)
sa	South Australia (SA)
tas	Tasmania (Tas or TAS)
vic	Victoria (Vic or VIC)
wa	Western Australia (WA)
jbt	Jervis Bay Territory (JBT)
ni	Norfolk Island (NI)
au	Australia - use when no other value is applicable.

Location map generated by wikidata

A second map can be generated using pre-defined wikidata. This can either replace, or be in addition to, the map generated by the |coordinates= parameter. It will display below the § Location map generated by coordinates map.

Wikidata-generated map

Parameter	Available for |type=	Description	Notes	Values
local_map	all	Enable map of local area, as defined by wikidata	This map will display below the map generated by |coordinates= if that map is also present. For the map to display properly, the current location must be connected to a wikidata entry and a map border must have been created on OpenStreetMap.	yes will display the map
zoom	all	Change zoom size of local_map	For more information, see {{Infobox mapframe}} instructions. Prerequisite parameters: local_map	Numeric value between 1 and 18. If left blank, zoom size defaults to 10.

The ID will begin with "Q".

Notes

IUCN categories for protected areas

Depending on the value given for |iucn_category=, one of the following banners will be displayed below the name. Valid values are Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V and VI. For more information read the IUCN protected area categories article.

IUCN category Ia (strict nature reserve)

IUCN category Ib (wilderness area)

IUCN category II (national park)

IUCN category III (natural monument or feature)

IUCN category IV (habitat/species management area)

IUCN category V (protected landscape/seascape)

IUCN category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources)

Calculating "image_upright"

The |image_upright= parameter, and |image2_upright= and |logo_upright= where applicable, are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.

Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.

• 170px → upright=0.75
• 180px → upright=0.8
• 190px → upright=0.85
• 200px → upright=0.9
• 210px → upright=0.95
• 220px → upright=1
• 230px → upright=1.05
• 240px → upright=1.1
• 250px → upright=1.15
• 260px → upright=1.2
• 270px → upright=1.23
• 280px → upright=1.25
• 290px → upright=1.3
• 300px → upright=1.35

Footnote and reference parameters

Any references to support a parameter reserved solely for a numeric value should be placed within the respective |..._footnotes= or |..._ref= parameters. For example, place the reference used for the area of City X in the |area_footnotes= parameters and not in the |area= parameter. Otherwise, an error may result.

Unformatted numbers and expression errors

Certain parameters require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion—i.e. 1000.0 not 1,000.0. If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.

Dist#, Dir# and Location#

This is the distance and approximate direction from another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore, five locations can be listed, using |location1= through |location5=. The distances can be listed using |dist1= through |dist5=. Direction from the locations is optional, and can be specified using |dir1= through |dir5=.

Population from Wikidata

If the |pop= parameter is left empty or not supplied, the template will attempt to retrieve population data from Wikidata. For more information, see the documentation of Module:PopulationFromWikidata. This is a new feature as of June 2022 (to coincide with the release of the 2021 Australian Census data). Please report any feedback to Template talk:Infobox Australian place.

Microformat

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 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.

Sub-templates

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

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo 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

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
