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.

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

Parameters

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
type infobox type Sets up the template for a specific type of locality. Should be set to other when the place is not one of the defined types. "city", "suburb", "town", "lga", "region", "cadastral", "protected" or "other"
name name of place If this field does not exist, the template will use the name of the article. If the field exists, but the place name is not defined, the infobox title will be blank. plain text
city city name suburb See List of cities in Australia.In some cases it may be desirable to include the name of a non-city here. In any case, if the name is not wikilinked, it will automatically be linked. plain text, may be linked.
state state abbreviation Abbreviation for the state. For consistency, lower case is preferred, but upper case may be used. 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
iucn_category IUCN category protected area This field should be populated with the IUCN category associated with the protected area. Although optional, use of this field is strongly recommended.

If not specified, the image width will default to |upright=1.23, which is approximately 270px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences) The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 300px.

IUCN Categories for protected areas

Depending on the value of the iucn_category parameter, 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. If you cannot find the correct code in a reliable source, leave blank.

IUCN category Ib (wilderness area)
IUCN category II (national park)
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, 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 (e.g. 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 (size is default multiplied by upright value then rounded to nearest 10).

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

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.

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 an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} 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.
