This template should be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera – in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{Infobox Country}} should be used. Available fields are described in the table below. For questions see the talk page.

Geographic information àtúnṣe
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
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. For no label, can be set to ; (this precise value also causes the total population to be displayed on the same line as the word Population).
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.

elevation_ft	optional	Raw number, entered in feet. Will automatically convert to display the average elevation in meters if elevation_m field is empty. However, if a range in elevation (i.e. 50–500 ft ) is desired, ~~the editor must enter a converted range in the elevation_m field to over-ride the automatic conversion.~~ use the "max" and "min" fields below

Microformat

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. 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.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE); if it has a URL, use {{Url}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
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.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
