Template:Infobox country/doc

This Infobox template is used to generate an infobox for the righthand side of two specific types of article: on a country or territory, or on a geopolitical organisation. The syntax (format) of parameters and examples are detailed in the collapsed show/hide sections immediately below.

Syntax


Note: Now redundant.
 * metropole =
 * metropole_area =
 * metropole_area_rank =
 * metropole_area_magnitude =
 * metropole_areami² =
 * metropole_population =
 * metropole_population_estimate_rank =
 * foot =
 * foot2 =
 * foot3 =
 * foot4 =
 * foot5 =


 * If, on a particular page, the default widths provided for the flag and coat-of-arms/symbol images produce an unsatisfactory result, use flag_width (as % or px) to specify the width to be used for the flag image; the remaining width is then assigned to the coat-of-arms/symbol (if included).

Errors
If the template generates errors when calculating data for the Gini or HDI fields, it will add the article to Category:Country articles requiring maintenance. This only happens if the page is in the main article space, not any other namespaces.

Sandbox
A sandbox has been set up so modifications to the template may be tested before being implemented in the template proper:

Template:Infobox country/sandbox

If possible, please try to view any modifications using a variety of web browsers and on different types of computer (PC, Macintosh, etc.). Thank you!
