Template:Geobox Region

This template is to be used for states, regions, provinces, districts, territories etc. It belongs to the Geobox series of templates, which are designated to be used for various geography related articles. They use the same layout, internal logic and coherently named fields. All templates can have a name on top, picture below, then section on Country, Region etc. followed by fields which are specific for every geographic feature, with a map at the bottom.

It uses highly complex syntax which relies on many subtemplates which are common to the series. For general instructions see Geobox, please do read them. Below are all the fields for this particular template with one or more blank tables which should be copied into the article and then filled in (rather than copying the template code from an existing page). Please respect these rules:

• do not put multiple items into one field, use numbered fields instead (e.g. city, city1, city2…).
• enter unformatted numbers only, both metric and imperial values are displayed, provide either metric or imperial ones, the opposite is calculated automatically
• do not put note and references into the fields themselves, use appropriate _note field
• do not delete fields you did not use, someone else might need them in future
