Template:Infobox Australian place/doc

Template:Infobox Australian place/pagelinks

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 a population density (in the density field) is not specified, this will be automatically generated based on the pop and area fields. 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 fields, Template:Infobox Australian place/cleanup may be substed. This will reformat the infobox and remove invalid fields.

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 at the very top of the article and the first word of the article on the very next line.
2. Enter values for the fields as outlined in the table below. Fields left blank will automatically be hidden.
3. Preview.
4. Save the page with an appropriate edit summary.

Examples

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

Both type and state are required parameters. All other parameters used by this template are optional. The following are available:

Parameter	Description	Valid for blank = all	Source/notes	Values

When a state code is not applicable, "au" should be used, although the field may be left blank.	"qld", "nsw", "act", "vic", "tas", "sa", "wa", "nt", or use "au" for Australia – plain text, do not link

Calculating "image_upright"

The image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/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

<section end=image_upright />

Footnotes fields

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

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#

This is the distance and approximate direction from 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 using 'dir1' – 'dir5' and the locations can be listed as 'location1' – 'location5'. Each dist# must be partnered with an appropriate location#. Dir# is optional.
