Infoboxes

[edit]
  • All settlements in Nova Scotia should use {{Infobox Settlement}}. This infobox provides a consistent look between the various types of settlements in Nova Scotia like Halifax and Enfield and to settlements in the other parts of Canada like Saskatoon, Montreal, St. John's, and Edmonton. The default "settlement_type" is city, but it can be changed to reflect any type of settlement, like counties, towns, villages, etc. {{Infobox Settlement}} also has a super imposable dot map feature that allows a map to be used with any settlement in Nova Scotia.
