Fields
lembaAll fields used by this template are optional. Leaving "federal" or "upper" blank assumes "no" on each. The following fields are available:
| Field name | Description | Valid for blank = all |
Source/notes | Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| federal | is it federal? | 'yes' | ||
| upper | is it a state upper house district? (ignored if incorrectly used) | 'yes' | ||
| name | name of electorate | plain text (e.g. Werriwa) | ||
| state | state abbreviation | 'nsw', 'vic', 'qld', 'sa', 'wa', 'tas', 'act', 'nt' | ||
| image | image or map relevant to electorate | filename | ||
| image_upright | width of generic image of the locality | This is an optional field. If not specified, the image width will default to |upright=1.23, which is approximately 270px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences) The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 300px. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.

Notes
lembaCalculating "image_upright"
lembaThe image_upright parameter, and image2_upright and logo_upright where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px), as this forces a fixed image width.
Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.
170px→upright=0.75180px→upright=0.8190px→upright=0.85200px→upright=0.9210px→upright=0.95220px→upright=1230px→upright=1.05240px→upright=1.1250px→upright=1.15260px→upright=1.2270px→upright=1.23280px→upright=1.25290px→upright=1.3300px→upright=1.35
Footnotes field
lembaAny references should be placed within the "footnotes" field and not within the field reserved solely for a numeric value. Otherwise, an error may result.
Unformatted numbers and expression errors
lembaCertain fields require numeric values to be entered in an unformatted/raw fashion—i.e. 1000.0 NOT 1,000.0. If an expression error is present, simply remove any commas or spaces from the number.
Tracking categories
lemba- Category:Pages using infobox Australian electorate with unknown parameters (0) – Articles that include deprecated or otherwise invalid fields are automatically added.
- Category:Pages using infobox Australian electorate with near parameters (0) – Articles using "near" fields (
near-n,near-ne,near-e,near-se,near-s,near-sw,near-wandnear-nw) are automatically added. These fields should not be used on large electorates and may become inaccurate after electoral redistributions are completed, so their use needs to be tracked.
Subpages
lembaMicroformat
lembaThe HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
lembaIf the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.
If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes
lembahCard uses HTML classes including:
- adr
- agent
- category
- county-name
- extended-address
- fn
- label
- locality
- nickname
- note
- org
- region
- street-address
- uid
- url
- vcard
Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Precision
lembaWhen giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
