Editing Template:Infobox Australian place/doc (section)

== Parameters ==
Both <code>type</code> and <code>state</code> are required parameters. All other parameters used by this template are optional.

=== Required ===
These parameters must be set for every infobox as they affect the behaviour of many other parameters.

The {{para|type}} parameter sets up the template for a specific type of location. It regulates which parameters can be used and sets the colour of the top bar of the infobox. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text.

{{reflist|group=lower-alpha}}

The {{para|state}} parameter defines the state or territory of the infobox's location. It sets up the template to refer to and link to the correct state or territory throughout. The entered values for this parameter should be plain, unlinked text; for consistency, lower case is preferred. If the parameter is left blank, the infobox will default to <code>au</code> (i.e., Australia).

| Neighbours which share borders with the infobox's location
| It is best when all listed neighbours are of the same type (e.g., suburbs around a suburb). When the place of a neighbour is instead taken by something like an ocean or another state/territory, include it in italics.
| <!-- Potential sources -->
| Plain text, linked. Can be formatted.
For example, the LGA of the [[City of Melville]] has a neighbour to its east, the [[City of Canning]]. Canning would be entered as <code><nowiki>|near-e=[[City of Canning]]</nowiki></code> (or <code><nowiki>[[City of Canning|Canning]]</nowiki></code>, to save space). The City of Melville is also neighboured at its north by the [[Swan River (Western Australia)]]. This would be entered as <code><nowiki>|near-n=''[[Swan River (Western Australia)|Swan River]]''</nowiki></code> (in italics as it is not another LGA)

==== Location map generated by coordinates ====
The recommended and most common location map is auto-generated by {{para|coordinates}}, but can be toggled off using {{para|map_type|nomap}} (see in table). All of the following parameters require {{para|coordinates}} to be properly set using {{tl|coord}}.

{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="background-color: white; width:100%;"
|+ {{tl|coord}}-generated map
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Parameter
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Available for {{para|type}}
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Description
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Notes
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Values
|-
! scope="row" | coordinates
! colspan="5" | See {{slink||coordinates}} for details
|-
! scope="row" | map_alt
| all
| [[MOS:ALT|Alt text]] for the location map
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| wikitext (can contain links)
|-
! scope="row" | map_type
| all
| Toggles whether a location map is automatically generated
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| Available options are: 
* <code>nomap</code> to suppress automatically generated location map
* <code>auto</code> or leave it blank, to allow the automatically generated location map
|-
! scope="row" | force_national_map
| all{{pb}}(recommended for city, region, protected)
| Forces location map to use a map of Australia as a whole
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| <code>yes</code> to force map of Australia, or leave blank. Plain text, do not link<!-- Anything in this parameter will force the Australian map to be used. For consistency though, let's force people to use something simple and obvious. -->
|-
! scope="row" | use_lga_map
| all{{pb}}(recommended for suburb, lga, protected)
| Forces location map to use the LGA's map which is available to [[Module:Location map]]
| First confirm whether there is a map for that LGA - see [[:Category:Australia location map modules]].{{pb}}'''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
* <code>state</code>
* <code>lga</code>
| <code>yes</code> to force map of the LGA, or leave blank<!-- Anything in this parameter will force the LGA map to be used. For consistency though, let's force people to use something simple and obvious. -->
|-
! scope="row" | alternative_location_map
| all 
| Forces the location map to use an alternative map available to [[Module:Location map]]
| It can be used to display an LGA map in infoboxes where {{para|lga}} cannot be set.{{pb}}'''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| Name of the alternative map ([[:Category:Australia location map modules]] includes all available maps)
|-
! scope="row" | relief

| Forces relief-style map, if available
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| <code>yes</code> to force relief-style map, or leave blank<!-- Anything in this parameter will force the relief map to be used. For consistency though, let's force people to use something simple and obvious. -->
|-
! scope="row" | pushpin_map_caption
| all
| Caption for the location map
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| Plain text or wikitext
|-
! scope="row" | pushpin_label_position
| all
| Position of the pushpin's caption, in relation to the pushpin
| '''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>coordinates</code>
| <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>top</code>, <code>bottom</code>{{pb}}If this is not set, the default is <code>left</code>
|}

==== Location map generated by wikidata ====

A second map can be generated using pre-defined [[wikidata]]. This can either replace, or be in addition to, the map generated by the <code>|coordinates=</code> parameter. It will display below the {{slink||Location map generated by coordinates}} map.

{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="background-color: white; width:100%;"
|+ [[wikipedia:Wikidata|Wikidata]]-generated map
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Parameter
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Available for {{para|type}}
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Description
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Notes
! scope="col" style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Values
|-
! scope="row" | local_map
| all
| Enable map of local area, as defined by wikidata
| This map will display below the map generated by <code><nowiki>|</nowiki>coordinates=</code> if that map is also present. For the map to display properly, the current location must be connected to a [[wikidata]] entry and a map border must have been created on [[OpenStreetMap]].
| <code>yes</code> will display the map
|-
! scope="row" | zoom
| all
| Change zoom size of local_map
| For more information, see {{tl|Infobox mapframe}} instructions.{{pb}}'''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>local_map</code>
| Numeric value between <code>1</code> and <code>18</code>. If left blank, zoom size defaults to <code>10</code>.
|-
! scope="row" | local_map_id
| all{{pb}}(recommended for other)
| Wikidata ID for the location, if the infobox is on an article that does not connect to the location's wikidata entry
| Search [https://www.wikidata.org Wikidata] for an ID{{pb}}'''Prerequisite parameters:'''
* <code>local_map</code>
| An unlinked wikidata ID, e.g. <code>Q595259</code> for [[Raymond Terrace]]. The ID will begin with "Q".
