Notes
{{#section:Template:Infobox Australian place/doc|image_upright}}
Footnotes field
Any 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
Certain 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
- Category:Pages using infobox Australian Electorate with unknown parameters (0) – Articles that include deprecated or otherwise invalid fields are automatically added.
- Category:Australian Electorate articles using near parameters (0) – Articles using "near" fields (
near-n
,near-ne
,near-e
,near-se
,near-s
,near-sw
,near-w
andnear-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.
