Template:Infobox_Settlement
Template:Infobox settlement
 | This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article. |
 | This template is used on approximately 566,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

flag image (P41) (see uses)- coat of arms image (P94) (see uses)
- seal image (P158) (see uses)
- coordinate location (P625) (see uses)
- official website (P856) (see uses)
This template should be used to produce an Infobox for human settlements (cities, towns, villages, communities) as well as other administrative districts, counties, provinces, et cetera—in fact, any subdivision below the level of a country, for which {{Infobox country}} should be used. Parameters are described in the table below. For questions, see the talk page. For a US city guideline, see WP:USCITIES.
The template is aliased or used as a sub-template for several infobox front-end templates.
Usage
- Important: Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References and {{citation needed}} tags are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
- An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.
Basic blank template, ready to cut and paste. See the next section for a copy of the template with all parameters and comments. See the table below that for a full description of each parameter.

Parameter names and descriptions
Name and transliteration | ||
| Parameter name | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | optional | This is the usual name in English. If it's not specified, the infobox will use the official_name as a title unless this too is missing, in which case the page name will be used. |
| official_name | optional | The official name in English. Avoid using official_name if it leads to redundancy with name and settlement_type. Use official_name if the official name is unusual or cannot be simply deduced from the name and settlement type. |
| native_name | optional | Name in the local language, if different from name, and if not English. In this case "native" does not mean indigenous but is related to de facto language that is not English. This will display below the name/official name. |
| native_name_lang | optional | Use ISO 639-1 code, e.g. "fr" for French. If there is more than one native name, in different languages, enter those names using {{lang}}, instead. |
| other_name | optional | For places with other commonly used names like Bombay or Saigon |
| settlement_type | optional | Any type can be entered, such as City, Town, Village, Hamlet, Municipality, Reservation, etc. If set, will be displayed under the names. Might also be used as a label for total population/area (defaulting to City), if needed to distinguish from Urban, Rural or Metro (if urban, rural or metro figures are not present, the label is Total unless total_type is set). |
| Transliteration(s) | ||
| translit_lang1 | optional | Will place the "entry" before the word "transliteration(s)". Can be used to specify a particular language like in Dêlêg or one may just enter "Other", like in Gaza's article. |
| translit_lang1_type translit_lang1_type1 to translit_lang1_type6 | optional | |
| translit_lang1_info translit_lang1_info1 to translit_lang1_info6 | optional | |
| translit_lang2 | optional | Will place a second transliteration. See Dêlêg |
| translit_lang2_type translit_lang2_type1 to translit_lang2_type6 | optional | |
| translit_lang2_info translit_lang2_info1 to translit_lang2_info6 | optional | |
Images, nickname, motto | ||
| Parameter name | Usage | Description |

Geographic information | ||
| These fields have dual automatic unit conversion meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they should enter both values in their respective fields. | ||
| Parameter name | Usage | Description |
| Display settings | ||
| total_type | optional | Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. Greater London. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to . |
| unit_pref | optional | To change the unit order to imperial (metric), enter imperial. The default display style is metric (imperial). However, the template will swap the order automatically if the subdivision_name equals some variation of the US or the UK. For the middle east, a unit preference of dunam can be entered (only affects total area). All values must be entered in a raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols. The template will format them automatically. |
| Area | ||

| dunam_link | optional | If dunams are used, the default is to link the word dunams in the total area section. This can be changed by setting dunam_link to another measure (e.g. dunam_link=water). Linking can also be turned off by setting the parameter to something else (e.g. dunam_link=none or dunam_link=off). |
| area_total_km2 | optional | Total area in square kilometers—symbol: km2. Value must be entered in raw format, no commas or spaces. Auto-converted to display square miles if area_total_sq_mi is empty. |

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.
