Notes ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Type ସମ୍ପାଦନା

The infobox type affects the colour of the top bar of the infobox.

  • Yellow: city
  • Pink: suburb
  • Green: town
  • Blue: lga
  • Purple: region
  • Grey: undefined

Footnotes fields ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Any references should be placed within the respective "_footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. For example, place the reference used for the area of City X in the parameter {{{area_footnotes}}} and not in the {{{area}}} parameter. Otherwise, an error may result.

Unformatted numbers and expression errors ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Certain fields 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# ସମ୍ପାଦନା

This is the distance and approximate direction to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore distances for up to five locations can be listed using the range 'dist1' - 'dist5'. Direction from the locations can be specified use 'dir1' - 'dir5' and the locations can be listed as 'location1' - 'location5'. Each dist# must be partnered with an appropriate location#. Dir# is optional.

Where to find information ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Deprecated field tracking ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Articles that include the deprecated fields "|propval=", |pushpin_map=", "|loc-x=" and "|loc-y=" are automatically added to Category:Australian place articles using missing parameters.

Microformat ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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 ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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 ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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 ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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