Editing Template:Infobox settlement/doc (section)

===Geographic information===
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|  colspan=3 | These fields have '''dual automatic unit conversion''' meaning that if only metric values are entered, the imperial values will be automatically converted and vice versa. If an editor wishes to over-ride the automatic conversion, e.g. if the source gives both metric and imperial or if a range of values is needed, they should enter both values in their respective fields.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| '''total_type''' || optional || Specifies what "total" area and population figure refer to, e.g. ''Greater London''. This overrides other labels for total population/area. To make the total area and population display on the same line as the words "Area" and "Population", with no "Total" or similar label, set the value of this parameter to '''&nbsp;'''.
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| '''unit_pref''' || optional || To change the unit order to ''imperial (metric)'', enter '''imperial'''. The default display style is ''metric (imperial)''. However, the template will swap the order automatically if the '''subdivision_name''' equals some variation of the US or the UK.<br />For the middle east, a unit preference of [[dunam]] can be entered (only affects total area). <br /> All values must be entered in a '''raw format: no commas, spaces, or unit symbols'''. The template will format them automatically.
