Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Location format
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Minimum requirements
- Introduction paragraph, starting with something like "xxx is a town in the district of xxx in the state of xxx, Germany.".
- Infobox - see Instructions.
- If the article is currently using {{Infobox Town DE}} and you are copying towninfo over from the German wiki, make sure that you retain pertinent information that is not used in the German wiki (population source information, photo, etc) and take the more recent population value
- Relevant stub template.
- Navbar for the other towns/municipalities in the district (or the navbar for all districts in the state if the article is an urban district)
- Interwiki link to the corresponding article on the German wiki
[edit] Categories
- Geographical: The infobox will automatically assign the article to the relevant geographical category (eg. "Cities in Saxony", "Municipalities in Bavaria", etc). To avoid confusion, delete any manually-added categories of this nature.
- Establishment: If a foundation year is given in the infobox, the article will be assigned to "xxxx establishments".
[edit] Geographical Co-ordinates
It is likely that the article will contain geographical co-ordinates (using {{coord}} or one of its variants) before the inclusion of the infobox - there are bots that check other wikis for such information. Once the infobox is added, this extra co-ordinate information is then redundant and must be deleted.
