Template:Ctycat-LA

The above template contains all or most of what is wanted on a parish category for the U.S. state of Louisiana ("LA"), where parishes are the equivalent of what 48 states call "counties" (for which we use the plain Template:ctycat).

Just type or paste, where "...." should be replaced by the year of formal establishment of the parish. Leave four dots if unknown; the resulting dotty category will show in our maintenance area and can be trimmed when getting too big. We may find and apply the years in batches using "List of parishes in Louisiana". Maybe a genius will produce a GET routine to automate it.

If any parish is now a combined city and parish, the template may not work because Wikipedia and Commons probably do not have pages for the parish name. Where that applies, paste the text of the template (four templates and two categories) in (without the " "), and adjust each template using a piped parameter where necessary after opening the link in a new window to check.

Alaska boroughs use. Same procedure as above if the borough is combined with a city.
