Template:S-us/doc


 * Description
 * The above template is generally all that is needed on the editable part of a category page for "Settlements in Somesuch County, Mystate" in the United States (and see below for other American countries).


 * Syntax
 * Just type or paste this:


 * (with appropriate local variations for county/borough/parish and state).


 * Other countries
 * The template is adaptable for Canada and for any province or state of any North or South American country, possibly using separate templates for each such country so that local variations of page naming can be accommodated (for example, so that the name of the country can be appended to the introductory sentence if it is not in the page name). Note the small coding differences between this and templates such as Template:Born in UK, where the county page name does not include a state name.


 * Other continents may use a variant of this if appropriate but may need a different navbox template if written records began earlier than in the Americas.
