This template generates definition lines and categories for placenames.
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]The basic usage is as follows (e.g. for Germany):
# {{place|en|country|cont/Europe}}.
which generates:
and places the page in Category:en:Countries in Europe.
The second parameter is the type of the place, while the third and further parameters are holonyms, indicating the larger entities that the place is contained within. Each holonym is of the form TYPE/NAME. The type can be spelled out in full, e.g. continent; common types can also be abbreviated, e.g. cont for continent (as above), s for state, p for province, c for country, etc. The full list of abbreviations is given below.
More than one holonym can be given, e.g. for Toronto:
# {{place|en|city|p/Ontario|c/Canada}}.
which generates:
and places the page in Category:en:Cities in Ontario, Canada.
The categorization system automatically generates the correct-format definition and category/categories, even when that requires computing a variant name, e.g. for Amsterdam:
# {{place|en|city|c/Netherlands}}.
which generates:
- A city in the Netherlands.
and places the page in Category:en:Cities in the Netherlands. In this case, both the definition and category need to have "the" prefixed to the country name, which automatically happens.
As another example, for Pittsburgh:
# {{place|en|city|s/Pennsylvania|c/United States}}.
which generates:
- A city in Pennsylvania, United States.
and places the page in Category:en:Cities in Pennsylvania, USA. (States of the United States are suffixed with , USA in some categories, to aid in distinguishing the US state of Georgia from the country of Georgia.)
For place names in foreign languages, a translation in English can be given, which changes the definition format, e.g. for Allemagne (the French term for Germany):
# {{place|fr|country|cont/Europe|t1=Germany}}
which generates:
and places the page in Category:fr:Countries in Europe. (Note that this category has language code fr, which contains French terms for countries in Europe, rather than English terms.)
Some place types use "of" instead of "in" in the definition and category, e.g. for Fairfax County:
# {{place|en|county|s/Virginia|c/United States}}.
which generates:
- A county of Virginia, United States.
and places the page in Category:en:Counties of Virginia, USA.
Additional descriptive text can be present among the holonyms, and will be formatted correctly in the definition, e.g. for Germany:
# {{place|en|country|in central|cont/Europe}}.
which generates:
and places the page in Category:en:Countries in Europe, as above.
Single-spec format
[සංස්කරණය]For complex cases, an alternative format can be used, known as single spec, which freely allows for placetypes and holonyms to be interspersed among raw text, e.g. as follows (for Fener):
# {{place|en|A <<neighborhood>> midway up the <<inlet/Golden Horn>> within <<dist/Fatih>> in <<city/Istanbul>>, <<c/Turkey>>}}.
which generates
- A neighborhood midway up the Golden Horn within Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey.
and places the page in Category:en:Neighborhoods in Turkey.
In this format, placetypes and holonyms are surrounded by <<...>>. The presence of a slash indicates a holonym; no slash indicates a placetype. There is no requirement that placetypes precede holonyms.
In this format, it is possible to break up a multiword placetype if the initial word or words are recognized qualifiers (see below), such as "former" or "ancient". Example:
# {{lb|en|now|historical}} {{place|en|A <<former>> French <<colony>> on the <<isl:pref/Hispaniola>> from 1659 to 1809, roughly equivalent to modern-day <<c/Haiti>>}}.
which generates
- (now ඓතිහාසික) A former French colony on the island of Hispaniola from 1659 to 1809, roughly equivalent to modern-day Haiti.
and places the page in Category:en:Former dependent territories (as <<former colony>> would do), rather than in Category:en:Dependent territories (as <<colony>> would normally do).
Mixed format
[සංස්කරණය]You can also mix the separate-parameter and single-spec formats, as long as the single spec precedes the separate parameters. For example, for Kodungallur:
# {{place|en|A historically significant <<town>> in|dist/Thrissur|s/Kerala|in southwestern|c/India}}.
which generates
In this format, no text (e.g. the, in, of) is added prior to the first holonym; thus you must include it in the single spec parameter, as follows:
# {{place|yo|t={{w|Isin, Kwara|Owu}}|an {{l|yo|Ìgbómìnà}} [[Yoruba]] <<town>> in the|lgarea:pref/Isin|s/Kwara|c/Nigeria}}
which generates
Parameters
[සංස්කරණය]Primary parameters:
|1=- the language code of the entry
|2=- see #Placetype parameter
|3=,|4=,|5=, ...- see #Holonym parameters
|t1=,|t2=,|t3=, ...- English translation(s) of the place
|tid1=,|tid2=,|tid3=, ...- sense ID's for the English translation(s) of the place; see
{{senseid}} |cat=,|cat2=, ...- extra categories to add to the page; automatically prefixed by the language code, e.g.
|cat=Towns in Englandwill add the page to Category:fr:Towns in England if the specified language code isfr |sort=- the sort key for the categories generated by the template; rarely needs to be specified, except perhaps for Japanese
Suppression and text parameters:
|def=- replaces the entire definition without affecting the categorization
|addl=- adds further text to the end of the definition without affecting categorization
|a=- replaces the indefinite article at the beginning of the definition
Extra information parameters:
|modern=,|modern2=, ...- the modern name(s) or location(s) of the place
|official=,|official2=, ...- the official name(s) of the place (e.g. People's Republic of China for China)
|capital=,|capital2=, ...- the capital city/cities of the place
|largest city=,|largest city2=, ...- the largest city/cities of the place
|caplc=- the capital and largest city of the place
|seat=,|seat2=, ...- the seat(s) of the place, particularly for counties and equivalents; displays "county seat", "parish seat" or "borough seat" for counties, parishes and boroughs respectively; otherwise, displays just "seat"
|shire town=,|shire town2=, ...- the shire town (similar to a county seat) of the place, particularly for counties in Vermont
As with holonym parameters (see below), all of these parameters can be prefixed with a language code such as fr:, and prefixing just with : suppresses automatic linking.
Placetype parameter
[සංස්කරණය]The type(s) of place of the entry, such as city, country or lake. Multiple values are separated by a slash (/). The special value and suppresses the comma and doesn’t affect categorization.
The placetype parameter can be pluralized and will be handled correctly. For example:
# {{place|en|Two <<former unincorporated communities>> in <<co/Williamson County>>, <<s/Illinois>>, <<c/USA>>}}.
displays as
- Two former unincorporated communities in Williamson County, Illinois, United States.
and places the page in Category:en:Unincorporated communities in Illinois, USA and Category:en:Unincorporated communities in the United States.
The aliases that are recognized for holonym placetypes (see below) can also be used here and will automatically be expanded, but as a matter of style it is recommended to spell out the placetype in full except for generally-recognized aliases such as CDP for census-designated place.
Holonym parameters
[සංස්කරණය]A holonym parameter has the following format: placetype/placename. The format placetype/langcode:placename can be used to specify a non-English placename. Normally, the placename will automatically be linked; using : with no langcode suppresses automatic linking. Automatic linking is done exactly as if {{l}} were being used, which means that square brackets can be used inside it to link to individual parts, and {{w}} can be used to link to Wikipedia.
If the placetype and following slash are omitted, the parameter is displayed as regular text.
If there are multiple holonyms, commas are placed before all holonyms except the first, according to the following algorithm:
- No comma is placed before the first holonym (whether a placename or raw text).
- No comma is placed before a holonym (whether a placename or raw text) preceded by raw text.
- No comma is placed before the special raw-text values
andandin. - No comma is placed before raw text beginning with
*. - A comma is placed before all other holonyms.
This does not apply to the alternative format described above, where raw text, placetypes and placenames are freely interspersed and no extra commas are added unless multiple placenames are grouped together (see below).
Grouped holonyms
[සංස්කරණය]Multiple comma-separated placenames can be given, and are formatted correctly and individually linked. For example:
Holonyms that take "the"
[සංස්කරණය]Some holonyms are normally preceded by "the", as in "the United States", while others aren't, e.g. "France". Holonyms that are normally preceded by "the" will have this added if they occur either as (1) the first-specified holonym parameter; (2) the non-first holonym in a multi-holonym list (for this, see the example just above); (3) when accompanied by the :pref or :Pref modifiers (see below). In other positions, they will not be preceded by "the", e.g.:
{{place|en|city|in the southern|c/United States}}.- A city in the southern United States.
{{place|en|city|s/Georgia|c/United States}}.- A city in Georgia, United States.
Holonym placetype aliases
[සංස්කරණය]Several aliases are recognized for placetype:
c→countryr→regionp→provinces→statecc→constituent country(should be used for England, Scotland, and Wales)cont→continentdept→departmentdist→districtriv→rivercarea→council areacdp,CDP→census-designated place
[etc.]
The full list can be found below under Recognized placetypes, which lists all recognized placetypes along with the aliases (if any) of each placetype.
Holonym placetype modifiers
[සංස්කරණය]Following the holonym placetype can be a colon followed by one or more comma-separated modifiers, e.g. s:suf/New York. Currently, the following modifiers are recognized:
suf: Display the full placetype as a lowercase suffix, e.g.s:suf/New York→New York state.Suf: Display the full placetype as a capitalized suffix, e.g.s:Suf/New York→New York State.pref: Display the full placetype as a lowercase prefix, e.g.s:pref/New York→(the) state of New York(the initial "the" is displayed in the same circumstances as when it is displayed before a holonym like "United States"; see above).Pref: Display the full placetype as a capitalized prefix, e.g.s:Pref/New York→(the) State of New York(the initial "the" is displayed in the same circumstances as when it is displayed before a holonym like "United States"; see above).noaff: Suppress the default display of a prefix or suffix (see below).also: Specify that categorization should happen with this holonym as well as any previous holonyms. See #Multiple holonyms of different types below for examples.the: Force insertion ofthebefore the holonym.
The reasons for using such a modifier are that (a) category recognition code is based off the full holonym placename, and hence won't work properly if a holonym like s/[[New York]] State is used; and (b) the bare holonym without the prefix or suffix will be autolinked, without the need to explicitly inserted brackets around the bare holonym.
Note that some holonym placetypes have prefixes or suffixes attached by default, e.g.:
- "canton", "civil parish", "community development block", "council area", "county borough", "department", "district", "district municipality", "local government district" (suffixed with "district"), "London borough" (suffixed with "borough"), "parish", "peninsula", "subdivision", "tehsil" (
suf) - "autonomous oblast", "autonomous okrug", "census area", "krai", "oblast", "okrug", "regional county municipality" (
Suf) - "metropolitan borough", "municipal district", "regional district", "regional municipality", "rural municipality" (
Pref)
This affixing does not happen if the holonym placename already has the placetype or a part of it in it, if an explicit prefixing or suffixing modifier is used, or if the modifier noaff is used.
Examples:
{{place|en|city|carea/Highland|cc/Scotland}}.{{place|en|capital city|c:pref/Georgia}}.- The capital city of the country of Georgia.
Multiple holonyms of different types
[සංස්කරණය]Normally, when categorizing a place in a given holonym, all other holonyms of the same type also get categorized. For example, the following description of the Columbia River:
# {{place|en|river|c/USA|and|c/Canada}}.
produces
- A river in the United States and Canada.
and categorizes into Category:Rivers in the United States and Category:Rivers in Canada. However, once a holonym and other holonyms of the same type are categorized, no further categorization normally happens for the placetype in question. For example, the following:
# {{place|en|river|p/British Columbia|c/Canada|and|s/Washington,Oregon|c/USA}}.
produces
- A river in British Columbia, Canada and Washington and Oregon, United States.
but categorizes only into Category:Rivers in British Columbia, Canada and Category:Rivers in Canada and does not include categorizes the the states of the United States. To fix this, use the :also modifier:
# {{place|en|river|p/British Columbia|c/Canada|and|s:also/Washington,Oregon|c/USA}}.
which produces
- A river in British Columbia, Canada and Washington and Oregon, United States.
and categorizes into Category:Rivers in British Columbia, Canada, Category:Rivers in Canada, Category:Rivers in Washington, USA, Category:Rivers in Oregon, USA and Category:Rivers in the United States.
Another common use of :also is when describing a city that is the capital of several administrative divisions at different levels. An example is the city of Trento in Italy, which is the capital both of the surrounding province of Trentino and the larger region of Trentino-Alto Adige. This could be specified as follows:
# {{place|en|city/capital|p:pref/Trentino|*and the|r:pref:also/Trentino-Alto Adige|c/Italy}}.
which produces
- A city, the capital of the province of Trentino and the region of Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
and categorizes both into Category:Provincial capitals as well as Category:Regional capitals of Italy (among other categories). As shown in this example, modifiers can be stacked one on another. This also uses * to suppress the comma that would normally be added before the text and the.
Multiple descriptions
[සංස්කරණය]The special value ; restarts the description and categorization (except for the language code), and joins the two descriptions with a semicolon. For example:
- Rio de Janeiro
{{place|pt|city/state capital|s/Rio de Janeiro|c/Brazil|;|former capital city|of|c/Brazil}}⇒
a city, the state capital of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the former capital city of Brazil
The main reason to use this format, as opposed to simply stringing the entire description together, is that categorization is restarted. This allows for more flexible categorization of places that serve multiple functions than would otherwise be possible.
More generally, any value beginning with a ; and not immediately followed by a space has the same restarting behavior, and in addition the text after the semicolon serves as the joining text, in place of a semicolon. For example:
- Vatican City
{{place|en|city-state|r/Southern Europe|;,|an <<enclave>> within the city of <<city/Rome>>, <<c/Italy>>}}⇒
A city-state in Southern Europe, an enclave within the city of Rome, Italy.
If the joining text begins with an ASCII or Unicode letter, a space is placed before the joining text, otherwise no space is added, as above. Finally, the special value ;; joins the descriptions with only a space.

Recognized placetypes
[සංස්කරණය]The following placetypes are recognized by the module, and processed specially. This does not mean that other placetypes cannot be used, but they will not get special handling (e.g. their display form will not be linked and they will not trigger any categorization).
