Summary

Template:Place is a template to place details of a place on to the wiki page with the language set by the parameter "lang" or in the language of the current page returned by {{Langcode}} (this language code is determined by the namespace for DE,ES,FR,IT,JA,NL,RU or by the pagename prefix otherwise). Autotranslation is supported (see {{PlaceLang}}) but there are still specialized versions of this template.

The template places a text description in the page itself, and a box on the right with links to further details on the place. There are options for a slippy map centred on the left, and a static image in the box on the right.

The template puts the article in the correct categories: [[Category:Types in subarea]] and/or [[Category:Types in area]] and [[Category:name]] (if the category name exists) so there is no need to do that manually.

One does need to manually put the categories like [[Category:Types in subarea]] into categories like [[Category:Types in area|subarea]] and also into [[Category:subarea]], as well as placing [[Category:name]] into [[Category:Types in subarea]] and/or [[Category:Types in area]].

TemplateData

Template:Place is a template to describe details of a place

Template parameters

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
namename

The name of the place being referred to (eg. Nottingham). This name is used to lookup category names (it may contain a disambiguating precision).

Stringrequired
langlang

The two character language code for the results to be returned. Default is the language code determined by {{Langcode}} from the namespace or prefix of the current page name (which will be assumed to be 'en' if there's none).

Stringoptional
fullnamefullname

An alternate full name to display on the page (adding an article, or removing the disambiguating precision). If not set, the name parameter will be used.

Stringoptional
nativenamenativename

Native nominative name(s) in original spelling(s), displayed in the box below the name. If not set, nothing else will be displayed.

Stringoptional
in-namein-name

An alternate locative name to display on the page (adding an article, or removing the disambiguating precision). If not set, the name parameter will be used as defined in Template:PlaceLang using default rules defined for the native language (with a 'in' preposition or similar).

Stringoptional
of-nameof-name

An alternate genitive name to display on the page (adding an article, or removing the disambiguating precision). If not set, the name parameter will be used as defined in Template:PlaceLang using default rules defined for the native language (with a 'of' preposition or similar).

Stringoptional
catnamecatname

The effective name of the category to use for pages related to that place (without the namespace or language prefix). If not set, a category with the given 'name' (possibly suffixed in its 'subarea2' or 'subarea' or 'area' to disambiguate it) will first be used if it exists; then a category for 'type' in 'subarea2', or 'type' in 'subarea' will be checked; if still not found, the category for 'type' in 'area' will be used otherwise.

Stringoptional
sortkeysortkey

The sortkey for categories. If sortkey is not supplied, the 'name' of the place will be used as the sortkey.

Stringoptional
typetype

The type of place (preferably in English as a singular noun, case is not significant).

Some synonyms (including a few translated type names for compatibility reasons only) are recognized but they should map to existing types of places listed (with a plural name) in Category:Places, according to {{CategoryInPlaceLang}} (otherwise, unknown types will be categorized only as 'Places in ...' or supported translations); independently of categories, the type is used in the description and more freely translatable in {{PlaceLang}}, which allow all types to be translated easily from English or one of the compatibility synonyms.

Categories

If there is a category for the name of the place (e.g. New York) then this category is added to the page.

The template will add the place to a category types in subarea (e.g. Cities in Berkshire).

If the subarea is not defined, the template will also add the place to the category types in area (eg. Cities in UK). This increases the chance the place will be allocated to a category that exists, but ensures that if a more specific category exists it isn't allocated to the parent category.
