Template:Infobox County
Infobox U.S. County is the standard infobox used for all county articles in the United States. There are other templates that are helpful for U.S. County Articles:
- USCensusPop - lists the population of the county per decade.
- Coord - a cool template that displays the coordinates of the county. Notes about this one:
- If a user enters the lat deg and long deg variables on this template, "coord" displays by default with "0" values for minutes.
- A user can enter all four variables if necessary: lat deg, lat min, long deg, long min.
- For more advanced syntax usage of the "coord" template, do not use latitude/longitude but manually add "coord" to the article using the alternative syntax available within the coord template.
See the sample page to see how this template is rendered.
