|- ![[{{{Name}}} County, No FIPS code given|{{{Name}}} County]] ||{{{Num}}} || || || {{{History}}} || {{{For}}}
This creates an entry in a table of counties in the United States where there are 4 columns of information, e.g. name, date of creation, history, and entomology. See Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. counties/county lists for similar templates
Usage:
{{County4|Name=|N=|Num=|Year=|History=|For=|Map=|}}
Where
- Name= is the name of the county without the word "County" as used in the link, e.g. Los Angeles County, California or Arlington County, Virginia you would use Name=Los Angeles or Name=Arlington etc.
- N= is the two-digit FIPS state code of the named state, e.g. N=04 for Arizona, N=10 for Delaware, etc. The name of the state will be composed from this number.
- Num= is the three-digit fips county code for that county, e.g. N=001 or N=037 etc.
- Year= is the year the county was formed, e.g. Year=1997
- History= is the explanation of why the county was formed, e.g. History=from Hazard county
- For= is the entomology, or whom the county was named for, e.g. For=named for Alex Hazard
Optional Parameters
- Type= defaults to County; you set it if the link and name is something else such as Type=Parish
- Seat= is used to insert the county/borough/parish seat after the name. It will have ( before and ) after and the state will be computed and inserted from the N= value. For example, for Clark County, Nevada, use Seat=Las Vegas and if N= has the correct value for Nevada, the link will correctly include it. Same for other states, of course. It correctly renders to null if enpty.
