{{tl|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 in Australia|local government areas]], [[Lands administrative divisions of Australia|cadastral units]], [[protected area]]s 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 {{tl|Infobox settlement}} should be converted to use this infobox.
{{tl|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 in Australia|local government areas]], [[Lands administrative divisions of Australia|cadastral units]], [[protected area]]s 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 {{tl|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 <code>density</code> field) is not specified, this will be automatically generated based on the <code>pop</code> and <code>area</code> fields. It is therefore important to read parameter descriptions thoroughly, to avoid unnecessarily providing redundant or incorrect information.

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.

=== Footnote and reference parameters ===
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.
Any references to support a parameter reserved solely for a numeric value should be placed within the respective {{para|..._footnotes}} or {{para|..._ref}} parameters.

For some locations this infobox supports the display of links to the popular web mapping services Google and Bing. However, in order for this to function a valid map page containing a [[Keyhole Markup Language|KML]] format map must exist. As KML files cannot currently be uploaded, the text of those files must be copied into a Wikipedia page. By default, the infobox uses a file name with the same title as the article at the location <code>Template:Infobox Australian place/mapdata/<place name></code> e.g. [[Raymond Terrace, New South Wales]] uses [[Template:Infobox Australian place/mapdata/Raymond Terrace, New South Wales]].

=== Dist#, Dir# and Location# ===
=== 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.
This is the distance and approximate direction to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore, five locations can be listed, using {{para|location1}} through {{para|location5}}. The distances can be listed using {{para|dist1}} through {{para|dist5}}. Direction from the locations is optional, and can be specified using {{para|dir1}} through {{para|dir5}}.
 
=== Population from Wikidata {{anchor|PopulationFromWikidata}} ===
If the {{para|pop}} parameter is left empty or not supplied, the template will attempt to retrieve population data from Wikidata. For more information, see the documentation of [[Module:PopulationFromWikidata]]. This is a new feature as of June 2022 (to coincide with the release of the 2021 Australian Census data). Please report any feedback to [[Template talk:Infobox Australian place]].

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 population density (in the |density= parameter) is not specified, this will be automatically generated based on the |pop= and |area= parameters. 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 parameters, Template:Infobox Australian place/cleanup can be substituted. This will reformat the infobox and remove invalid parameters.

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 on the line directly before the start of the article's lead.
  2. Enter values for the parameters as outlined under § Parameters, particularly |type= and |state=. Parameters left blank will automatically be hidden.
  3. Preview the page with your edits.
  4. Save the page with an appropriate edit summary (e.g., "Added {{[[Template:Infobox Australian place|Infobox Australian place]]}}", which will display as, "Added {{Infobox Australian place}}" ).

Examples

Parameters

Both type and state are required parameters. All other parameters used by this template are optional.

Required

These parameters must be set for every infobox as they affect the behaviour of many other parameters.

The |type= parameter sets up the template for a specific type of location. It regulates which parameters can be used and sets the colour of the top bar of the infobox. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text.

Use of the |type= parameter
Accepted value Description Colour of top bar[a]
city A city. Light Goldenrod Yellow
suburb A suburb, a form of administrative region generally used in cities and towns. Antique White
town A town or other settlement. Snow Flurry
lga An Australian local government area (LGA) - a particular form of administrative region, used to create local governments. Many LGAs will use terms such as "Town of", "District Council of", "Shire of", "City of", etc., in their names.

Note that the ACT does not have any system of local government, and therefore does not have LGAs.

Lavender
region Mauve
cadastral Light Yellow
protected No colour

(An IUCN category can be used to display a coloured banner - see § IUCN categories for protected areas.)

other No colour
undefined Occurs when the parameter has been left blank. Very Light Grey
  1. ↑ Colour names per the colour names given by colourblindness.com

The |state= parameter defines the state or territory of the infobox's location. It sets up the template to refer to and link to the correct state or territory throughout. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text; for consistency, lower case is preferred. If the parameter is left blank, the infobox will default to au (i.e., Australia).

Use of the |state= parameter
Accepted value State or territory
act Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
nsw New South Wales (NSW)
nt Northern Territory (NT)
qld Queensland (Qld or QLD)
sa South Australia (SA)
tas Tasmania (Tas or TAS)
vic Victoria (Vic or VIC)
wa Western Australia (WA)
jbt Jervis Bay Territory (JBT)
ni Norfolk Island (NI)
au Australia - use when no other value is applicable.

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

Footnote and reference parameters

Any references to support a parameter reserved solely for a numeric value should be placed within the respective |..._footnotes= or |..._ref= parameters. For example, place the reference used for the area of City X in the |area_footnotes= parameters and not in the |area= parameter. Otherwise, an error may result.

Unformatted numbers and expression errors

Certain parameters 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 to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore, five locations can be listed, using |location1= through |location5=. The distances can be listed using |dist1= through |dist5=. Direction from the locations is optional, and can be specified using |dir1= through |dir5=.

Population from Wikidata

If the |pop= parameter is left empty or not supplied, the template will attempt to retrieve population data from Wikidata. For more information, see the documentation of Module:PopulationFromWikidata. This is a new feature as of June 2022 (to coincide with the release of the 2021 Australian Census data). Please report any feedback to Template talk:Infobox Australian place.

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 "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

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • category
  • county-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • region

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.
