Note that the field name is case-sensitive; it should be lower case (apart from INSEE). Some lesser used fields are not discussed (yet) in this overview.

• coordinates
• arrondissement
• canton
• population
• INSEE

English name of location. If this field is not specified, the article name is used.

French name of location. Use only if French name is different from English name (e.g. Dunkirk–Dunkerque). Sometimes used for regional languages, such as Breton and Catalan.

If you want a sub-banner to appear. Defaults to empty. Can be anything—for example, Paris can use it to describe its status as both a commune and department.

If this is left empty, area and population totals will appear on the same line as the respective title. If you indicate something different (for example, 'commune'), that title will appear as a sub-title for both area and population sections.

A representative picture of the location: skyline, notable landmark, etc. The image used should preferably be wider than it is tall, to keep the infobox as compact as possible. The plain image file name should be given, e.g. Vieux port de Marseille 2.jpg.

The caption for this picture (optional).

The official flag and coat of arms of the commune. See the infoboxes of Paris and Marseille for examples.

The official city motto (probably only applicable for the largest cities).

Avoid, except for overseas departments and territories. For locations in metropolitan (=European) France, an automatic map is generated if the coordinates are given in |coordinates= (see below). For locations in the overseas departments and territories (e.g. French Guiana, New Caledonia, Réunion), this automatic map will give strange results. In these cases, manual location maps ("map", "adjustable map").

• "map": Specify only the file name of the map image, e.g. "Cayenne.PNG".
• "adjustable map": Specify the file name of the map image, e.g. "adjustable map=Cayenne.PNG", and the width in the field "map size", e.g. "map size=200px".

Required. Geographical coordinates of location. Give location in decimals. Northern hemisphere and eastern hemisphere have positive numbers. The coordinates are used for map calculation. If the coordinates are not available in French or Dutch ("Nederlands") Wikipedia, you can look them up at for instance https://www.google.fr/maps

The INSEE (French national statistics institute) code of the commune. The region and the department to which the location belongs are retrieved using this code and a subtemplate. The INSEE code is also used to provide a link to the census results for the commune. For settlements that are part of a commune, use any number that starts with the department number, for instance the INSEE code of the commune, the former commune, or just the department number (e.g. 77 for a place in Seine-et-Marne). It does not show, but it is used to display the correct region, department and detailed map.

DEPRECATED: The region and the department to which the location belongs are retrieved using the (required!) INSEE code. The fields "region" and "department" are no longer used.

For New Caledonia.

For French Polynesia.

Required. The arrondissement to which the location belongs. No wikilinks required. Some overseas locations are not part of an arrondissement. The largest cities (e.g. Paris, Lyon, Marseille) are subdivided into arrondissements themselves. In those cases, use the "subdivisions" field instead.

Required. The canton to which the location belongs. No wikilinks required. Some overseas locations are not part of a canton. Some locations, usually the larger cities, are subdivided into cantons themselves. In those cases, use the "subdivisions" field instead.

Many communes cooperate in an intercommunality.

For settlements that are part of a commune. "commune" is the commune the settlement is part of, "type" is the type of settlement, for instance commune déléguée or commune associée. Default type is part.

Some locations, usually the larger cities, are subdivided into arrondissements or cantons. In those cases, fill in something like "subdivisions=9 arrondissements". A link to an article about these subdivisions can also go here.

The mayor of the commune. The governing period of the mayor (currently 2020–2026) should be given in the field "term". Optionally, the political affiliation of the mayor can be given in the field "party".

The area of the commune in square kilometres. Don't use a comma for decimal separator, but use a point (12.34 instead of 12,34): commas give bad results in the population density calculation. The template will also calculate the area in square miles.

The population of the commune. Don't use thousands separators like points or spaces (e.g. 5.678 or 34 567): they give bad results in the population density calculation. The census year should be given in the field "population date". You can add references and footnotes in the field "population footnotes" (not in "population"). Note: Adding references to commune, urban and metro population numbers 'breaks' the settlement template population density calculations for each respective area. For existing communes (i.e. not former communes) the template {{France metadata Wikidata}} should be used, which retrieves the most recent population data from Wikidata. For example:

|population             = {{France metadata Wikidata|population_total}}
|population date        = {{France metadata Wikidata|population_as_of}}
|population footnotes   = {{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes}}

The adjective describing the people and places of the region. Use the English demonym by default (e.g., Parisian, not "Parisien").

If the French demonym is included, specify the respective languages in full or via language code. Use the correct capitalization common to each respective language. For example: Parisian (English)<br>parisien (French) or Parisian (en)<br>parisien (fr). Use non-breaking spaces ( ) or {{nowrap}} to prevent unhelpful text-wrapping in these lines. Do not include the feminine form as a separate demonym, but do include it as an alternative style of the French demonym if possible: parisien(ne).

Do not include other languages' demonyms unless they are notable (e.g., Breton names only for Breton places).

Only use this parameter for places in French Polynesia. For other places the time zone is derived from the INSEE code.

The postal code(s) of the commune.

The minimum, maximum, and average elevation of the commune above sea level in metres. The metres will be converted to feet, and both are displayed.

The official website of the commune. Please follow the guidelines at WP:LINKS.
