Notes

Type

Setting the type parameter affects the colour of the top bar of the infobox.

• Yellow: city
• Pink: suburb, village
• Green: town
• Blue: llg
• Purple: district
• Ochre: province
• Grey: undefined

Places will be categorised according to the setting of the parameter.

• Use |type=city only for Port Moresby, Lae and Mount Hagen.
• Use |type=town for towns, eg Goroka, Rabaul, Wewak etc
• Use |type=village for all others, eg Salamaua

Footnotes fields

Any references should be placed within the respective "_footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. For example, place the reference used for the area of City X in the parameter {{{area_footnotes}}} and not in the {{{area}}} parameter. Otherwise, an error may result.

Unformatted numbers and expression errors

Certain fields require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion—i.e. 1000.0 NOT 1,000.0. If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.

Dist#, Dir# and Location#

This is the distance and approximate direction to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore distances for up to five locations can be listed using the range 'dist1' - 'dist5'. Direction from the locations can be specified use 'dir1' - 'dir5' and the locations can be listed as 'location1' - 'location5'. Each dist# must be partnered with an appropriate location#. Dir# is optional.

Deprecated field tracking

Articles that include deprecated fields are automatically added to Category:Papua New Guinea place articles using deprecated parameters.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter. {{reflist]}
