Parameter descriptions

• name - name of the suburb. Where the article name has a qualifier (like "Devonport, New Zealand") please omit the qualifier unless there is a second New Zealand version of the suburb.

  • popref or popsource - reference for the population count.

• buswaystations - local busway stations (local only please, NOT the closest). Only for use in Auckland suburbs along the Northern Busway.
• airports - local airports (local only please, NOT the closest). This does include smaller airfields and heliports (but not single helicopter landing pads such as for a hospital), as long as regular activity exists.
• hospitals - local hospitals (local only please, NOT the closest). This excludes most medical centres - hospitals as defined here would need to have in-patients (patients staying overnight) or be especially large/notable medical centres without inpatients.
• north, northeast ... - location of the suburb with the surrounding suburbs. Restrict to one each per direction, unless there are clearly more than one in that direction directly adjacent (should not happen, there are rarely more than 8 directly surrounding suburbs!) Note that this field can be filled with non-suburb links such as Wellington Harbour. If such a non-suburb link is used, please put in round brackets such as the following example: (Waitākere Ranges).

Compass points are now deprecated. Please consider adding {{Adjacent place}} to the article.
