  • nis = number identifying each Belgian municipality in Directorate-general Statistics Belgium [1]; This number is used to retrieve data (population statistics, coordinates, economy data) from three subtemplates.
  • For region, community and province you can use templates (see below), and else they are displayed based on the given NIS number.
  • Fhe coordinates (lat_deg etc.) are needed for the dot on the map of Belgium and the title coordinates.

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.
