Template:RegionInfobox/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:RegionInfobox. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The {{RegionInfobox}} template provides an infobox for a geographic region or country's administrative divisions. Typically a geo-political infobox, its natural geographic area counter part is {{GeoInfobox}}.

Usage

To use the template, copy and paste the following code into the desired article page. Then add the appropriate parameter data.

{{RegionInfobox
| region name    =
| flag           =
| coa            =
| map            =
| country        =
| capital        =
| area           =
| population     =
| density        =
| demonym        =
| timezone       =
| gdp            =
| gdp per capita =
}}

Parameters

Optional parameters are not displayed if left blank.

Parameter	Description	Type	Status	Notes
region name	Region name	String	Required	Defaults to the article pagename
flag	Flag image filename	String	Optional
coa	Coat of arms filename	String	Optional
map	Map filename	String	Optional
country	Country location	String	Optional	Recommended: {{flag|countryname}}
capital	Capital	String	Optional
area	Area size	Numeric	Optional	In square kilometers (km2)
population	Population	Numeric	Optional
density	Population density	Numeric	Optional	If area and population have numeric values, the template will calculate the population density per km2. A value in density overrides the template's calculation.
demonym	Demonym	String	Optional
timezone	Time zone	String	Optional	Should be expressed as an offset from UTC (e.g., UTC +3)
gdp	Gross domestic product	Numeric	Optional	If and gdp per capita have numeric values, the template will calculate the region's total GDP. A value in gdp overrides the template's calculation.
gdp per capita	GDP per capita	Numeric	Optional	If population and gdp have numeric values, the template will calculate the GDP per capita. A value in gdp per capita supersedes the template's calculation.

Non-numeric data for area, population, gdp, and/or gdp per capita may result in calculation errors for density, gdp, and/or gdp per capita. Please use numeric values for those fields. Providing a parameter value supersedes any calculation, however. For example, using "25M" as a population figure results in the template not calculating density since "25M" is a non-numeric value. Also, providing a value for the density parameter, in this instance, supersedes the template's attempt to calculate a density value, so "25M" can display as the population and whatever value was provided for the density parameter will display in that field.

Provided the population parameter has a numeric value, the template can calculate either gdp or gdp per capita provided one of those parameters has a numeric value. If population and gdp have numeric values, the template will calculate gdp per capita. If population and gdp per capita have numeric values, then the template will calculate gdp. Values provided for the gdp and/or gdp per capita supersede the template's calculations.
