{{MuniABrow|Banff|Town|Alberta's Rockies|15|Improvement District No. 9|January 1, 1990|7|8875|2017|7851|7584|4.77|disp=t}}

Parameters

This template has twelve required positional parameters with named aliases, and four optional named parameters (sample values are for Banff):

Positional

• |1= or |loc= – municipality (e.g., 'Banff')
• |2= or |type= – municipality type (e.g., 'Town'; others include: 'City', 'Village', 'Summer village')
• |3= or |reg= – region (e.g. 'Alberta's Rockies')
• |4= or |cdiv= – census division (e.g., '15')
• |5= or |rn= – rural neighbouring municipality (e.g., Improvement District No. 9 (Banff))
• |6= or |inc= – incorporation date (e.g., 'January 1, 1990')
• |7= or |csiz= – council size (a number; e.g., '7')
• |8= or |mpop= – latest population from the most recent municipal census, if any (no punct.; e.g., '8875')
• |9= or |mpy= – year municipal census was conducted, if any (e.g., '2017')
• |10= or |pop2= – latest population from federal census (no punct.; e.g., '7851')
• |11= or |pop1= – previous population from federal census (no punct.; e.g., '7584')
• |12= or |area= – area (in km sq., with decimal point as needed; e.g., '4.77')

If any positional param is used, such as the first one for the municipality name, then all twelve must be used positionally. I.e., you can't use |loc= for municipality, and then switch to positional param '2' for 'type' and the others. Either all positional, or all named for the first twelve. This means for example, that params like mpop and mpy may be left out if they have empty values and the transclusion is via all named parameters, but if positional parameters are used, then all the params must be present, even if they have no value; in this case, there will be no value between adjacent vertical bars (a space may be used if desired). E.g., if a row has no value for optional params mpop and mpy, then positional params 7 – 11 might look like this (sample data is for Alberta Beach): ...|5| | |1018|865|.... If named params are used in that situation, they can just be left out, and "empty" params are not required.

Named

There are six optional named parameters. The first three modify the target article or display string in the column one link (see 'Name' in § Table cells below):

• |prov= – province (default: 'Alberta')
• |comm-link= – replaces the target article for the community/municipality
• |suffix= – appends an unlinked text string to the linked municipality name in column one (see below)

Two parameters are available for adding references to the population figures in columns nine and ten:

• |pop2-ref= – reference for |10= (or |pop2=; latest population)
• |pop1-ref= – reference for |11= (or |pop1=; previous population)

The disp parameter determines which municipalities are included in the table: |disp= – controls conditional display of a row depending on its type. For example, for |disp=cities (or |disp=c) the row is only displayed if its type is 'City'. Possible values for |disp=:

• cities or c – displays a given row, only if it has type 'City'
• towns or t – if type = 'Town'
• villages or v – if type = 'Village'
• summer villages or sv – if type = 'Summer village'
• specialized municipalities or sm – if type = 'Specialized municipality'
• municipal districts or md – if type = 'Municipal district'
• improvement districts or id – if type = 'Improvement district'
• special areas or sa – if type = 'Special area'
• Metis settlements or ms – if type = 'Metis settlement'
• urban – if type is is any of 'City', 'Town', 'Village' or 'Summer village'
• rural – if |type= is any of 'Municipal district', 'Improvement districts', or 'Special area'.

Any or all of the four optional parameters may be used regardless whether positional or named parameters are used for the first twelve.

Table cells

The template generates a single wikitable row with thirteen columns. The content of the cells in the table row are a function of the parameters, mostly a copy (or a formatted copy) of a parameter, sometimes a function of multiple parameters. The content of the cells, in left-to-right column order are (sample values are from Airdrie, Alberta):

1. Name – the linked name of the Municipality, plus any unlinked suffix. Made up of the required |loc= (or alias param 1), and the province (from |prov=) linked by default as: MunicipalityName + ,  + ProvinceName and piped to the municipality name; e.g., '[[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]]'). May be modified using |comm-link= and |suffix=.
2. Status – whether the municipality is a town, city, village, parish, district, and so on. A copy of |type=; e.g., 'City', 'Town', etc.
3. Region – see Regions of Alberta; from |reg=, and linked to the region article, piped as needed; e.g., [[Calgary Metropolitan Region|Calgary Metro]]. If the term 'Metropolitan Region' is the last part of the name, it is abbreviated to 'Metro'.
4. CD – Census division – from |cdiv= and linked to the division article, e.g. [[Division No. 6, Alberta|6]]
5. Neighbouring municipality – from |rn= and linked, e.g. [[Rocky View County]]
6. Incorporation date – from |inc= (e.g. 'January 1, 1985')
7. Council size – from |csiz= (e.g. '7')
8. Municipal census pop. and year – from |mpop= and |mpy=, e.g., '70,564 (2019)'; empty for municipalities that do not have a local census.
9. Population (year) – the recent population figure (default year: 2016); formatted copy of param |pop2= with optional reference from |pop2-ref=.
10. Population (year) – older population figure (default year: 2011); formatted copy of param |pop1= with optional reference from |pop1-ref=.
11. Change – change in population; a positive value indicates rising population; calculated from |pop2= and |pop1=.
12. Land area km2 – Area of the municipality in square kilometers; copied from |area=.
13. Population density km2 – Population density in square kilometers; calculated from |pop2= and |area= parameters.
