This small template was created to save typing for articles on provinces of Argentina, but it can be of use with any country that has provinces, provided that a consistent format is used.

Usage is as follows: {{province|name of the province|name of the country}}

For example, {{province|Buenos Aires|Argentina}} produces "province of Buenos Aires, Argentina".

The format of the article names to be followed for this to work:

Articles on provinces must have names of the form So-and-so Province, with uppercase "Province". For others, see below.
There must/should be an article named Provinces of Such-and-such-country, ideally a list and/or a comment on those administrative divisions of the country in question.
There must/should be a country article, of course, named exactly the same way as the "such-and-such-country" of the above. That is, if the country article is named "Dreamland", then the province list should be named "Provinces of Dreamland", not "Provinces of the Dreamlandian Republic".

Ambiguous names are a problem, since they don't work with this template. For example, Córdoba Province, Argentina. For this kind of disambiguated link, use the alternative template {{provincec}}, which adds the country to the province's article name (the extra final c is both for comma and for country, if you will).
