{{Infobox UK place}} is intended for use with articles about places (i.e. human settlements) in the United Kingdom. It has provision for a location map, images, captions, and detailed information about the place e.g. population, governance, and public services. There is an associated Template:Infobox UK feature which operates in a similar manner and is intended for features such as bridges, castles, and hills which do not require the options about governance etc.
Basic syntax
සංස්කරණයExamples are available showing typical infoboxes together with the code for those examples. This code can be cut and pasted into new articles. The samples provided are:
- Isle of Man
- Northern Ireland
- Scotland
- Wales
- England – these can have differing structures:
- Greater London
- City of London
- Metropolitan county (Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Tyne and Wear, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, West Midlands)
- Shire district in a shire county
- ...within a parish of the same name
- Unitary district within a shire
- Standalone unitary (Herefordshire, Rutland, Bristol, Isle of Wight)

Places split by boundaries |
---|
Many locations straddle the boundaries of post towns, constituencies, districts or regions. Where a place straddles these, they can be accommodated with its own field:
There are slightly more "esoteric" extras to handle some tricky situations of division splits, which, if needed, can be explained by contacting one of the users involved in this template's construction. |

Microformat
සංස්කරණයThe 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
සංස්කරණයIf 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
සංස්කරණයhCard 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
සංස්කරණයWhen giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name=
parameter.
