'''{{tl|City}}''' is for use in any article about an active settlement of any size (from Thorp to Metropolis) in the [[Pathfinder campaign setting]]. [[:Category:Ruins|Ruins]] or any other form of uninhabited settlement should be classified as a "location". Nearly all parameters are ''optional'' and can be left blank, though it is preferred to include as many as possible; if undefined, these optional parameters will not appear as part of the template. The recommended image size is a width of 250px, so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

In certain cases where this template is used for a city-associated element rather than the main city itself, the parenthetical subtitle in the infobox may be changed from "(City)" to a more appropriate alternative title. For example, to change the infobox's parenthetical subtitle to "(City district)", insert the following line into the template. If "(City)" is fine, this change should ''not'' be made.

; name : The name of the settlement. This should be the name by which the settlement is most commonly known.

; image ''(optional)'': An image representing the settlement. This can either be a depiction of the skyline, a house or neighborhood, its inhabitants, or its flag or symbol. The recommended size is 250px, but if larger, the image should scale to fit the template.

If the settlement is below ground, this should refer to the layer of the Darklands (i.e. [[Nar-Voth]], [[Sekamina]], or [[Orv]]) in which the settlement can be found.

; size ''(optional)'': The settlement's population range category as defined on p. 203 of the ''[[GameMastery Guide]]'' and p. 212 of ''[[Ultimate Campaign]]''. These categories break down as follows:
:* [[:Category:Thorps|Thorp]] (fewer than 21)

:* Theocracy (rule by leader of the most prominent religion)

; alignment ''(optional)'': The settlement's overall alignment, representative of its government or inhabitants, if known.

; leader ''(optional)'': The name or names of other important figures in the community.

; latlong ''(optional)'': The settlement's latitude and longitude coordinates, as two decimal numbers separated by a comma and points west and south of Absalom having negative values. (For instance, Absalom's '''latlong''' value is around {{xt|35.4157, 0}}, and Magnimar's is {{xt|48.1813, -28.0538}}.) These values are stored in the Cargo database as coordinates, allowing other articles or templates to use that data for distance or mapping purposes, such as setting this template's '''regionmap''' parameter to [[Template:DisplayMap]] to show an interactive map of Golarion centered over the settlement.

Setting latlong will also lead to a matching marker on the [https://pf-wikis.github.io/mapping the map] based on the settlement size and if the capital parameter is set to {{xt|yes}}. This has a large delay of typically 14 hours for technical reasons.

: See also the regionmap parameter for how a map view is generated from these coordinates.

; capital ''(optional)'': yes, if this city is the capital of its country.

; regionmap ''(optional)'': A map of the countryside surrounding the settlement. This can be an image, which are almost always fan-created (thanks, [[User:Aeakett|Aeakett]]!), or a map template, such as [[Template:DisplayMap]].

: If regionmap is not set but there are latlong coordinates, this template automatically generates a map using [https://pf-wikis.github.io/mapping] centered on the city coordinates.

; imagesof ''(optional)'': The name of the category that contains images of this city, which appears in the infobox as a link to the category page. For instance, an '''imagesof''' value of {{xt|Korvosa}} creates a link to [[:Category:Images of Korvosa]] with the link text "Images of Korvosa". This parameter is case-sensitive. If this parameter is omitted, the infobox uses the article name suffixed by a single "s".
