Structure[edit]
The article should start with an introduction, giving the name of the municipality its location in Sweden, bordering municipalities, seas or lakes and such.
Next, there is a table with quick facts about the municipality. A template for the table can be found at the bottom of this page. The contents are as follows:
- The official name of the municipality in Swedish (xx) is to go on top as the caption.
- A picture of the municipality coat of arms.
- Municipal seat: The seat of residence for the municipal administration and main agglomeration ("Centralort"). In most cases it has also given the name of the municipality.
- County: The county to which the municipality belongs.
- Area: The area of the county in square km (km²) and the ranking.
- Population: The number of inhabitants, the ranking and the population density. Also include a year for the census. (Statistics available at the National Atlas of Sweden are given for 1999.)
The sections are:
- Politics
- Municipal Council
- Election results
- Geography
- Cities, towns and villages
- Boroughs (stadsdelar), where applicable
- Parishes
- Political history of the municipality
- Sites of interest
- Economy
- Major industries/products
- taxes
- Education
- Heraldry
- Short description
- Blazon
- Link to county of province heraldry
- Miscellaneous topics
- External links
Template[edit]
When applying this template to a county stub or article (which already all exist), it should be common practice to create a temporary page to work on, with the following notice:
- ''This temporary page is being used to expand and convert the article [[_]] over to the new format proposed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish counties|WikiProject Swedish counties]]. Please feel free to add or edit anything on this page to help in the conversion process.''
Don't forget to replace the "_" with the name of the article being converted.
To notify readers/writers that a new page is being created, place the following text on the country article itself:
- '''A new page based on the new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish counties|template]] is being worked on at [[_/Temp]], please make any changes you want to make on that page.'''
Xx Municipality (Xx kommun) is a municipality in Zz county, direction Sweden.

Work in Progress[edit]
Separations[edit]
I have been here since some time now. My main task is to separate centralorter (seats), which still are in the entries on the respective Municipality. I also try to write a short section about the amalgamations. --Muniswede 22:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- This has now been done. Only "Infobox_kommun2" is now in use for municipalities. --Muniswede 08:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
