Usage

Basic usage

{{Infobox UK feature
|official_name = # [defaults to {{PAGENAME}}]

|irish_name = optional - lists the name in Irish (Gaelic)
|manx_name = optional - lists the name in Manx
|cornish_name = optional - lists the name in Cornish
|shire_county/state = #

|map_name =
|map_relief =
|static_image_name =

• Items shown with a "#" are required
• |country and |nation have the defaults shown
• |map_name may be used to select a map which has a different name to |country, see Template:Location map for more details. The map can be suppressed with 'nomap'.
• |static_image_alt is for an alternate text – see WP:ALT
• |static_image_name and |static_image_2_name have a default width of 240px. For smaller widths use the following options;

|static_image_width = [width as number (180) or size (180px)]
|static_image_2_width = [width as number (180) or size (180px)]

Official name

The heading (official_name) uses the same coding as Template:Infobox UK place including the style 'nowrap'. For long names this will force the infobox to expand sideways. To avoid this include <br /> (bottom rule; equivalent to break or newline) in official_name.

Embedded tables

It is, in theory, possible to embed any table or infobox in this infobox after the second caption - see the example. Although this should work for all tables most of the tables tested default to a greater width (typically 300px) making the application unsatisfactory – see poor example.

Examples

• Typical usage: image + caption
• Location map only
• Embedded table

Undocumented options

UK articles should use the defaults so that the articles match with Template:Infobox UK place and other infoboxes. Other articles may wish to make use of the following options (defaults shown). See example.

 |label = |official_name [which defaults to {{PAGENAME}}]
 |marksize = 9
 |mark = Red_pog.svg

Using the correct template

There are many other templates available which in some cases will be more suitable; see list at top of page.
