My notes
[edit]https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Template:Infobox_settlement#Short_version
Lead
[edit]- Appropriate sequence of items in lead section
- Disambiguation and redirection links
- Maintenance tags
- An InfoBox or image (also see MOS:IMAGES#Images). Consideration should be given to the benefits of having both an InfoBox and an Image in the lead section, and in which order they would appear. If there are no compelling reasons to do otherwise, the usual practice is for an InfoBox to be alone in the lead, but if there are both, then the InfoBox is placed above the image. An InfoBox is not required.
- NavBoxes can be contentious, so should be used sparingly and with care. They are usually placed at the bottom of articles after the References section.
- Link to parent article. In the event that the article is a sub-article (or similarly linked daughter article) to an overview article, that relationship should be outlined just before the opening sentence, like so:
- Hatnote: This is a sub-article to Parent article
- Introductory text.
- The table of contents (TOC) automatically appears on pages with more than three headings. Avoid floating the table of contents if possible, as it breaks the standard look of pages.
- Lead text
Context (what and where), summary of the article, total population, name origin
Etymology
[edit]If there is sufficient material on the origin and meaning of the settlement's name to justify a section or subsection header, then it may be titled as etymology or Toponymy. As Etymology is a branch of linguistics that deals with origin and historical development of names and reconstructing their meaning where possible, rather than dealing with the settlement's development through the ages, it is more appropriate to have a separate Etymology section than making this part of the History section.
History
[edit]When material in this section becomes large enough, split out per summary style, using a {{Main}} template as:
This section provides a narrative of the settlement's history. Topics that can be covered include, but are not limited to:
- original inhabitants
- original settlements
- occupying powers/transitions of power
- population spikes
- recessions
- reasons for settlement/growth
- dominant activities
- events that shaped the community
- A note on the earliest known history of the settlement (any Bronze Age or Roman artefacts for example), and the earliest known mentions of the settlement (e.g. in Domesday book).
- Consider prose (or subheadings) on Industrial history, Social history or Political_history where appropriate.
- If a settlement has a name in another recognised regional or national language, this can be presented here.
- Avoid using headings that arrange the history of a settlement according to century or decade.
- Avoid organising prose into timelines. If these exist (or are developed), consider placing them in a History of Foo or Timeline_of_Foo article.
- Consider a note on the origin of the settlement's name; if details are lengthy, complex or technical, it may be appropriate to create an Etymology section or subsection (see above). As etymology is a branch of linguistics rather than a part of the settlement's development through the ages, it is more appropriate to place this info the Etymology section than part of the History section.
Most libraries will have books on local history. Be wary of loose interpretations, especially when using internet or promotional sources.
- Note
- History sections can easily become very long with more detail than appropriate for a general overview. While there is no strict rule on how long a section may be, as a general rule of thumb, more than 10 paragraphs or the use of subsection headings might indicate that it should be accompanied by a History of Foo main article (using the main template). Only describe the minimum of what is required to understand where the community has come from and let the History of Foo article give the details.
- Second-level headings are to be avoided since they tend to encourage excessive detail and length and can disrupt cohesion.
- Note 2
- The geography and history sections can be reversed if desired, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cities/Archive 14#Geography / History ordering.
Geography
[edit]Geographic setting, geographical features, subdivisions, climate
- Note
- The geography and history sections can be reversed if desired, see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cities/Archive_14#Geography_/_History_ordering.
Demographics
[edit]Population info, census data, ethnicity, language, religious affiliation. This section may also be titled Population.
Economy
[edit]Dominant industries, agriculture if applicable, major employers, breweries, exports, etc. Sub-sections may be created for particularly important local economic groups - coffee production, tourism, steel manufacturers, etc, or particularly important local businesses or companies.
Per WP:LOCAL, "initially, information on places of local importance should be added to an article on the community where that place is located", then "as the article becomes overly large due to more verifiable information being added, information on individual places can be broken out into individual articles."
When splitting out material into either an Economy of Foo article, or into an individual stand alone article, this should be done using the relevant guidelines: Wikipedia:Article size, Wikipedia:Splitting, Wikipedia:Merging, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, and by using the method explained in WP:Summary style.
Arts and culture
[edit]Cultural venues, festivals and significant cultural events
Attractions / Amenities
[edit]Museums and other points of interest, parks (local, regional, provincial parks), recreation venues, pubs, restaurants, etc
Sometimes may be termed Landmarks, or Points of interest or may be included in a Culture / Arts and culture section; perhaps under a subsection such as Tourism, Museums, or Pubs.
Sports
[edit]Sport teams and significant athletic events
Government
[edit]Details about governing body (council, mayor), administrative bodies, political representation
Infrastructure
[edit]Transport, utilities, health care, security/safety, amenities
Education
[edit]Schools, colleges, responsible organizations
Media
[edit]Local newspapers, TV, and radio stations.
Notable people
[edit]Names of notable people born or residing in the locality. Include only people with a Wikipedia article, see also WP:NLIST. Note: Leading world centres with possibly thousands of notable individuals including royalty and top class artists and heroes usually do not include such a list.
Footers

[edit]Related Wikipedia articles, if not already detailed in other sections

References
[edit]Citations per Verifiability, see Citing sources. Use {{Reflist|30em}} instead of {{Reflist|2}}. A list of sources used is a form of definition list, which is placed below the reference section, separated with a ";" which creates a related but minor subsection. Texts which are suggested as further reading, but haven't been used as source material in the article, are placed in a separate section termed Further reading.
