{{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. There is an associated Template:Infobox UK feature which operates in a similar manner and is intended for features such as bridges, castles, and hills which do not require the options about governance etc.

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:
Greater London
City of London
Metropolitan county (Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Tyne and Wear, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, West Midlands)
Shire district in a shire county
...within a parish of the same name
Unitary district within a shire
Standalone unitary (Herefordshire, Rutland, Bristol, Isle of Wight)

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
  • 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.

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article 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.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • "adr"
  • "county-name"
  • "fn"
  • "label"
  • "locality"
  • "nickname"
  • "note"
  • "org"
  • "region"
  • "street-address"
  • "vcard"

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • "geo"
  • "latitude"
  • "longitude"

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
