Usage
- Important: Please enter all numeric values in a raw, unformatted fashion. References are to be included in their respective section footnotes field. Numeric values that are not "raw" may create an "Expression error". Raw values will be automatically formatted by the template. If you find a raw value is not formatted in your usage of the template, please post a notice on the discussion page for this template.
- An expression error may also occur when any coordinate parameter has a value, but one or more coordinate parameters are blank or invalid.

Parameter names and descriptions
Name and transliteration | ||
| Parameter name | Usage | Description |

Geographic information | ||
| These fields have dual automatic unit conversion meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they should enter both values in their respective fields. | ||
| Parameter name | Usage | Description |
| Display settings | ||
| total_type | optional | Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. Greater London. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to . |
| unit_pref | optional | To change the unit order to imperial (metric), enter imperial. The default display style is metric (imperial). However, the template will swap the order automatically if the subdivision_name equals some variation of the USA or the UK. For the middle east, a unit preference of dunam can be entered (only affects total area). All values must be entered in a raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols. The template will format them automatically. |

| dunam_link | optional | If dunams are used, the default is to link the word dunams in the total area section. This can be changed by setting dunam_link to another measure (e.g. dunam_link=water). Linking can also be turned off by setting the parameter to something else (e.g. dunam_link=none or dunam_link=off).
