Changes

A lot of the location pages have been created already and are just waiting for the information to be added using the Locations Infobox Template below. For a list of pages aleady created go to the [[:Category:Locations]] page.  '''Current Project''':*[[Eccl]] - list of Ecclesiastical returns stations, pages to be brought 'up to scratch' as per [[#Sections to include]] 

{{Locations_Infobox|presidency=|image=|coordinates= |altitude= |presentname= |stateprovince= |country=|transport=}}Please use the following incorporate a ''[[Location Infobox ]]'' template (a blank example is at the right) when creating locations pages.  * Using these templates a template helps us to provide a consistent appearance to the articles within our project.

These guidelines apply to all location infoboxes:

# Multiple values given If adding an image, do not infringe copyright. If in a single field must be separated by commas anddoubt, where appropriate, line breaks <nowiki>don't.# External links (<br>eg to Wikipedia)</nowiki>, as spacing them onto separate lines confuses screen reader softwarecan be very effective.

Include anything you think will be helpful to the researcher. Significant places of interest in a location may warrant their own section.

Include any quality links you are aware of. Most articles will be able to link to relevant wikipedia articles and to the appropriate pages of [http://wwwen.1911encyclopediawikipedia.org/Main_Page LoveToKnow 1911Wikipedia] articles and to [[Imperial Gazetteer of India]] . Where there are several links, consider organising them into sections (based on the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannicasee [[Calcutta#External_Links|Calcutta]]).

Categories should be placed an the end of an article. All locations articles should be listed in [[:Category:Locations]], but additional categorisation will be helpful. As most locations are cities, towns or villages, please include a presidency Presidency category. You can copy and paste the text below.
