'''Country''' is always the sovereign country.
<div class="wp-infobox-data">


Use the numbered subdivision fields for the administrative hierarchy below the country.
{{#if:{{{native_name|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Native name</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{native_name}}}</div>
</div>
}}


'''subdivision1''' is the highest administrative level below the country, '''subdivision2''' is the next level, and so on.
{{#if:{{{type|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Type</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{type}}}</div>
</div>
}}


The subdivision type should use the real local administrative term, such as State, Province, Region, County, District, Division, Tehsil, Prefecture, Governorate, Municipality, Parish, Canton, Emirate, or Territory.
{{#if:{{{country|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Country</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{country}}}</div>
</div>
}}


Use '''official_name''' only when the official name differs meaningfully from the normal article title.
{{#if:{{{region|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Region</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{region}}}</div>
</div>
}}


Use '''other_name''' for a commonly used alternative or additional name.
{{#if:{{{district|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">District</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{district}}}</div>
</div>
}}


Use '''postal_code_type''' when the local term differs from "Postal code". Examples include <code>ZIP code</code> and <code>PIN code</code>.
{{#if:{{{population|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Population</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{population}}}{{#if:{{{population_as_of|}}}| ({{{population_as_of}}})}}</div>
</div>
}}


Use '''coordinates''' for the reader-friendly coordinate display. '''latitude''' and '''longitude''' are used for structured geographic data.
{{#if:{{{area|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Area</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{area}}}</div>
</div>
}}


Population figures should include a year in '''population_as_of'''.
{{#if:{{{elevation|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Elevation</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{elevation}}}</div>
</div>
}}


Leave fields empty when reliable information is unavailable.
{{#if:{{{coordinates|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Coordinates</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{coordinates}}}</div>
</div>
}}


== Example ==
{{#if:{{{timezone|}}}|
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Time zone</div>
<div class="wp-infobox-value">{{{timezone}}}</div>
</div>
}}


A city in Pakistan could use:
{{#if:{{{website|}}}|
 
<div class="wp-infobox-row">
<pre>
<div class="wp-infobox-label">Website</div>
{{Infobox place
<div class="wp-infobox-value">[{{{website}}} Official website]</div>

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.

Short usage

Use this version for most place articles. 

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

Full usage

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

{{Infobox place
| name =
| native_name =

| image =
| image_alt =
| caption =

| type =

| country =
| region =
| district =

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

| coordinates =
| latitude =
| longitude =

| timezone =

| website =
}}

Place types

For structured data, use one of these values in type when applicable:

  • City
  • Country
  • State
  • Administrative area

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

{{Infobox place

| latitude = 31.5497

Usage notes

  • Use name for the commonly recognized English article name.
  • Use native_name for the place name in its native language or writing system when useful.
  • Use type to identify the kind of place.
  • Use country, region, and district to describe the geographic hierarchy.
  • Do not set country to the same place when the article itself is about a country.
  • Use population_as_of whenever a population figure is provided.
  • Include units with area and elevation.
  • Use coordinates for the human-readable coordinates shown in the infobox.
  • Use decimal latitude and longitude for structured data.
  • Longitude values west of Greenwich should normally use a negative number.
  • Use image for the image filename only. Do not include File:....
  • Use image_alt 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.
