== Notes ==
=== Type ===
The infobox type affects the colour of the top bar of the infobox.
* '''Yellow:''' city
* '''Pink:''' suburb
* '''Green:''' town
* '''Blue:''' lga
* '''Purple:''' region
* '''Grey:''' <code>undefined</code>

===Footnotes fields===
Any references should be placed within the respective "_footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value.  For example, place the reference used for the area of City X in the parameter {{{area_footnotes}}} and not in the {{{area}}} parameter.  Otherwise, an error may result. 

===Unformatted numbers and expression errors===
Certain fields require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion&mdash;i.e. 1000.0 NOT 1,000.0.  If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.

=== Coordinates ===
{{UF-coord}}

=== <code>Dist#, Dir# and Location#</code> ===
This is the distance and approximate direction to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore distances for up to five locations can be listed using the range 'dist1' - 'dist5'. Direction from the locations can be specified use 'dir1' - 'dir5' and the locations can be listed as 'location1' - 'location5'. Each dist# must be partnered with an appropriate location#. Dir# is optional.
