 | This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}. Any field from {{Infobox settlement}} can work so long as it is added to this template first. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox settlement}}. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox settlement. |
This is the infobox for articles about specific municipalities of Switzerland. There are more than 2700 articles using it.
For a sample use, see Aarau.

Blank template
NOTE: population figures, year and month of the population estimate and a population reference are now added automatically thanks to the templates from Category:Swiss populations data templates. For former municipalities (villages); use either the population from before the merger, N/A or leave the population field blank. The current list of recognized municipalities can be found at the Swiss Federal Statistical Office in either German or French. Look for the Excel file called "Amtliches Gemeindeverzeichnis der Schweiz - MS-Excel Version" (in German) or "Répertoire officiel des communes de Suisse - Version MS-Excel" (in French).
NOTE: area is now added automatically thanks to the Swiss area data template. The area field is still retained in the template as a backup in case the template returns an error. Editing the area will have no effect unless the SFOS number is incorrect or the municipality_type is set to former.

Microformat
The 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
If 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
hCard 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
When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
