Fields[edit]
All fields used by this template are optional. Leaving "federal" or "upper" blank assumes "no" on each. The following fields are available:
| Field name | Description | Valid for blank = all |
Source/notes | Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| federal | is it federal? | 'yes' | ||
| upper | is it a state upper house district? (ignored if incorrectly used) | 'yes' | ||
| name | name of electorate | plain text (e.g. Werriwa) | ||
| state | state abbreviation | 'nsw', 'vic', 'qld', 'sa', 'wa', 'tas', 'act', 'nt' | ||
| image | image or map relevant to electorate | filename | ||
| image_upright | width of generic image of the locality | This is an optional field. If not specified, the image width will default to |upright=1.23, which is approximately 270px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences) The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 300px. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.

Notes[edit]
Calculating "image_upright"[edit]
The image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.
Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.
170px→upright=0.75180px→upright=0.8190px→upright=0.85200px→upright=0.9210px→upright=0.95220px→upright=1230px→upright=1.05240px→upright=1.1250px→upright=1.15260px→upright=1.2270px→upright=1.23280px→upright=1.25290px→upright=1.3300px→upright=1.35
Footnotes field[edit]
Any references should be placed within the "footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. Otherwise, an error may result.
Unformatted numbers and expression errors[edit]
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.
Tracking categories[edit]
- Category:Pages using infobox Australian electorate with unknown parameters (0) – Articles that include deprecated or otherwise invalid fields are automatically added.
- Category:Pages using infobox Australian electorate with near parameters (436) – Articles using "near" fields (
near-n,near-ne,near-e,near-se,near-s,near-sw,near-wandnear-nw) are automatically added. These fields should not be used on large electorates and may become inaccurate after electoral redistributions are completed, so their use needs to be tracked.
Subpages[edit]
Microformat[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
