Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. counties/County6/doc

This creates an entry in a table of counties in the United States where there are 6 columns of information, including an automatically generated map. See Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. counties/county lists for similar templates.

Usage: {{County6|Name=|N=|Num=|Seat=|Year=|History=|For=|Area=}}

Where:

• Name= is the name of the county without the word "County" as used in the link, e.g. Los Angeles County, California or Arlington County, Virginia you would use Name=Los Angeles or Name=Arlington etc.
• N= is the two-digit FIPS state code of the named state, e.g. N=04 for Arizona, N=10 for Delaware, etc. The name of the state will be composed from this number.
• Num= is the three-digit fips county code for that county, e.g. N=001 or N=037 etc.
• Seat= is the County Seat. The state's name is inluced automaticaluy in the wikilink.
• Year= is the year the county was formed, e.g. Year=1997
• History= is the explanation of why the county was formed, e.g. History=from Hazard county
• For= is the entomology, or whom the county was named for, e.g. For=named for Alex Hazard
• Area= is the total area of the county:
  • If this is a raw number, then the template will assume it's the area in square miles, format it with , and also give the area in square kilometers.
  • If this isn't a raw number, then the value is displayed unaltered

Optional Parameters:

• Type= defaults to County; you set it if the link and name is something else such as Type=Parish
• Seat= is used to insert the county/borough/parish seat after the name. It will have ( before and ) after and the state will be computed and inserted from the N= value. For example, for Clark County, Nevada, use Seat=Las Vegas and if N= has the correct value for Nevada, the link will correctly include it. Same for other states, of course. It correctly renders to null if empty.
• Size= is used when 150px produces a map that is too big. Example: Size=100px
• Map= is the name of the image to used for the county map when the autmatically generated version doesn't work. The Image: prefix must not be included. Default size is 150px.
