- Most of the fields in each infobox can be left out if desired.
- Multiple values given in a single field must be separated by commas and, where appropriate, line breaks (<br>), as spacing them onto separate lines confuses screen reader software.
- Location Infobox - This infobox template is used to summarize information about a location.

This section is a work in progress - please discuss things to include/remove on the discussion page.
All locations articles should be adapted to the place in question, but the ideal article might include the following elements:
- Location infobox
- Introductory paragraph (does not need a heading)
- Spelling variants
- History
- Churches

Include anything you think will be helpful to the researcher.
