Parameter descriptions

• name - name of the suburb. Where the article name has a qualifier (like "Devonport, New Zealand") please omit the qualifier unless there is a second New Zealand version of the suburb.

• north, northeast ... - location of the suburb with the surrounding suburbs. Restrict to one each per direction, unless there are clearly more than one in that direction directly adjacent (should not happen, there are rarely more than 8 directly surrounding suburbs!) Note that this field can be filled with non-suburb links such as Wellington Harbour. If such a non-suburb link is used, please put in round brackets such as the following example: (Waitākere Ranges).

Compass points are now deprecated. Please consider adding {{Adjacent place}} to the article.
