Template:Infobox UK place/styles.css

{{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.

Basic syntax

Examples 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:

Parameters

For automated features

Feature	Required fields
Basic function	official_name – defaults to {{{PAGENAME}}} country (?) England only: region (?)
Maps	coordinates country England only: region (= London) OR metropolitan_county OR shire_county OR unitary_england (= Bristol, Isle of Wight, Southampton) Scotland only: unitary_scotland Note that by default, the coordinates are displayed to the right of the title, at the top of the page. This can cause an error if there is more than one set of coordinates in the article. To override the display in the title, use `\|display=inline` inside of {{Coord}}. If you wish to include an additional custom {{location map}} (typically for the local area), use either `\|pushpin_map=location map name` where `location map name` is the name of the location map. or Mapframe for an interactive, scaleable map (see § Mapframe params below).
Services	country unitary_scotland (?) OR unitary_england (?) OR unitary_northern_ireland (?) OR unitary_wales (?) OR london_borough (?) OR metropolitan_borough (?) OR shire_district (?) England only: shire_county (?) OR metropolitan_county (?) OR lieutenancy_england (?) England only: region Vale of White Horse and Hart districts only: ambulance_service (needs to be populated)
Postal	post_town (?) postcode_area (?) postcode_district
London Assembly	london_borough
Footer lists	country london_borough OR shire_county OR metropolitan_county OR lieutenancy_england OR unitary_scotland OR unitary_wales OR lieutenancy_northern_ireland

Commonly used

Although not required for any of the automation, the following fields should normally be filled in
constituency_westminster (?) map_alt os_grid_reference OR irish_grid_reference dial_code (this may be of help finding the dialling code) Northern Ireland only: lieutenancy_northern_ireland (?) Wales only: lieutenancy_wales (?) Scotland only: lieutenancy_scotland (?)

For optional features

Optional feature	Required fields
Other language names	gaelic_name OR scots_name OR welsh_name OR irish_name OR cornish_name OR manx_name
Any other language name	other_language AND other_language_name local_name
Languages spoken	language
Static image(s)	static_image (deprecated) static_image_name static_image_width - defaults to 240px wide to match the maps. static_image_caption static_image_alt (see WP:ALT) static_image_2 (deprecated) static_image_2_name static_image_2_width - defaults to 240px wide to match the maps. static_image_2_caption static_image_2_alt
Map label position	label_position Used to adjust position of label by dot on map– options are top, bottom, left, right, or none – defaults to right
Smaller parts (e.g. boroughs of a city)	parts_type The label for the smaller subdivisions (defaults to Places). parts_style Set to list to display as a collapsible list, coll as a collapsed list, or para to use paragraph style. Default is list for up to 5 items, otherwise coll. parts Text or header of the list of smaller subdivisions. p1 p2 to p50 The smaller subdivisions to be listed. Example: Anlaby
Area	area_total_sq_mi area_total_km2 area_footnotes Only one value needs to be entered as a number and it will be automatically formatted and converted to opposite system
Population figures	population – must be a number population_density – will be calculated automatically if area and population are present. Will not display unless population supplied. population_ref (A good place to find the population figures is at www.nomisweb.co.uk) For Census 2001 use \| population_ref = <ref>]</ref> For Census 2011 use \| population_ref = <ref>]</ref> For Census 2021 use \| population_ref = <ref>]</ref>
Distance from capitals	Replace <capital> with belfast, cardiff, douglas, dublin, edinburgh, or london <capital>_distance_mi <capital>_distance_km Only one value needs to be entered as a number and it will be automatically formatted and converted to opposite system <capital>_distance Used for footnotes or direction – see Boxing the compass <capital_direction> Enter direction to capital e.g. W, E, NE, SW – it will be linked to Boxing the compass (Distances "as the crow flies" can be found from Genuki, or postcode.org.uk)
Distance within London	Same as Distance from capitals above – replace <capital> with charingX
Civil parish or Community	civil_parish OR community_wales (?) OR community_scotland (?)
iso_code	ISO 3166 code; e.g. GB-BIR for Birmingham. If no specific code exists, the next highest-level code may be used, so again use GB-BIR for Bournville, which is part of Birmingham.
Website link	website WARNING: overlong urls may result in the sides of the infobox being pushed sideways. If so, use a short link to the url e.g.
embedded	Embed another infobox in this one
pushpin_map	Allows selection of another location map (e.g. Oxford (central)). This will combine with the default by radio button - (show within custom.name <default>, show default.name, show all). A mapframe may be a better option (see § Mapframe params, below).

Places split by boundaries

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: post_town AND post_town1 AND post_town2 civil_parish AND civil_parish1 AND civil_parish2 shire_district AND shire_district1 AND shire_district2 region AND region1 westminster_constituency AND westminster_constituency1 AND westminster_constituency2 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.

Mapframe params

Basic {{Infobox mapframe}} parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no
  - Internal onByDefault parameter: not specified
- mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata d:Property:P625
- mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
- mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
- mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
- mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
Customise which features are displayed:
- mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
- mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Force display of shape by setting to on. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
- mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Force display of line by setting to on. Default: not specified
- mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
- mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
  - auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
  - geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
  - zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
Other optional parameters:
- mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
- mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
- mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060

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
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

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
