Editing Template:Infobox Australian place/doc (section)

== Purpose ==
{{tl|Infobox Australian place}} is used to add infoboxes to articles on places in Australian states and territories. It is not limited to populated places such as cities, towns and suburbs, but may be used on any place including regions, [[Local government in Australia|local government areas]], [[Lands administrative divisions of Australia|cadastral units]], [[protected area]]s and even some areas that do not fall into any of the preceding descriptions and for which no other infobox is appropriate. It is the standard infobox used in Australian articles. Australian articles using {{tl|Infobox settlement}} should be converted to use this infobox.

The infobox has been extensively customised for Australia and includes automation that results in some parameters being redundant to other parameters. For example, if population density (in the {{para|density}} parameter) is not specified, this will be automatically generated based on the {{para|pop}} and {{para|area}} parameters. It is therefore important to read parameter descriptions thoroughly, to avoid unnecessarily providing redundant or incorrect information.

For infoboxes that require reformatting, general cleanup or addition of missing parameters, [[Template:Infobox Australian place/cleanup]] can be [[wikipedia:Help:Substitution|substituted]]. This will reformat the infobox and remove invalid parameters.
