Usage

This template is for cities and towns. The following parameters are required:

  • name (name of the city or town)
  • year (year the city was founded)
  • population (self-explanatory)
  • mayor (name of the mayor)
  • website (official web site for the city)

The following parameters are optional, but will display the default if not specified:

  • type (usually "Town" or "City"; defaults to "City")
  • schools (the school district; defaults to "name City Schools")
  • council (the city's governing body; defaults to "name City Council")
  • fire (the city's fire department; defaults to "name Fire Department")

These parameters are also optional, having to do with the Google Maps link:

  • state (defaults to "AL")
  • zoom (0-17, recommended 10-16; defaults to 12)
  • type ("m" for map (default), "k" for satellite, "h" for hybrid)
