Creating Template:Infobox place/doc

New page

<div class="wp-template-doc">

<div class="wp-template-doc-intro">
'''Infobox place''' is WikiPartner's standard infobox for geographic places.

Use it for cities, countries, states, provinces, regions, districts, and other notable geographic or administrative places.

All parameters are optional. Add only information supported by reliable sources. Empty fields are automatically hidden.

Adding this template to an article also generates WikiPartner place structured data automatically. Editors do not need to create schema markup manually.
</div>

== Short usage ==

Use this version for most place articles.

<pre>
{{Infobox place
| name =
| image =
| image_alt =
| caption =
| type =
| country =
| region =
| population =
| area =
| coordinates =
| timezone =
| website =
}}
</pre>

== Full usage ==

Use this version when more geographic information is available. Remove parameters that are not needed.

<pre>
{{Infobox place
| name =
| native_name =

| image =
| image_alt =
| caption =

| type =

| country =
| region =
| district =

| population =
| population_as_of =
| area =
| elevation =

| coordinates =
| latitude =
| longitude =

| timezone =

| website =
| wikidata =
}}
</pre>

== Place types ==

For structured data, use one of these values in <code>type</code> when applicable:

* <code>City</code>
* <code>Country</code>
* <code>State</code>
* <code>Administrative area</code>

Other place descriptions may still be displayed in the infobox, but these four values have dedicated WikiPartner place-schema mappings.

== Examples ==

The examples below show both the wikitext entered by an editor and the rendered WikiPartner infobox.

=== City — Lahore ===

<div class="wp-template-preview">

<div class="wp-template-preview-text">

'''Wikitext'''

<pre>
{{Infobox place
| name = Lahore
| native_name = لاہور

| elevation = 217 m
| coordinates = 31.5497°N, 74.3436°E
| latitude = 31.5497
| longitude = 74.3436
| timezone = Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+05:00)
| website = https://lahore.punjab.gov.pk/
| wikidata = Q11739
}}
</pre>

</div>

<div class="wp-template-preview-infobox">

}}

</div>
</div>

== Usage notes ==

* Use <code>name</code> for the commonly recognized English article name.
* Use <code>native_name</code> for the place name in its native language or writing system when useful.
* Use <code>type</code> to identify the kind of place.
* Use <code>country</code>, <code>region</code>, and <code>district</code> to describe the geographic hierarchy.
* Do not set <code>country</code> to the same place when the article itself is about a country.
* Use <code>population_as_of</code> whenever a population figure is provided.
* Include units with <code>area</code> and <code>elevation</code>.
* Use <code>coordinates</code> for the human-readable coordinates shown in the infobox.
* Use decimal <code>latitude</code> and <code>longitude</code> for structured data.
* Longitude values west of Greenwich should normally use a negative number.
* Use <code>wikidata</code> for the Wikidata entity ID, such as <code>Q11739</code>.
* Use <code>image</code> for the image filename only. Do not include <code>[[File:...]]</code>.
* Use <code>image_alt</code> for short alternative text describing the image.
* Leave unused parameters out.
* Do not guess population, coordinates, area, elevation, administrative divisions, or other geographic information.
* Geographic information should be supported by reliable sources.
