The '''Create municipality article''' guide is intended to help wiki users create municipality/area articles as easily as possible with good results. Here's a little step-by-step guide on how to proceed.
4. Now an edit box appears. In this box you will enter a piece of text that automatically creates a ready-made template for the municipality article for you. Smart huh? In the edit box, type:
<nowiki>{{subst:ExamplemunicipalityExample municipality}}</nowiki>
Then scroll down to the end of the box and click "Save Page".
An example template has now been placed and you now have a ready-made basis for further editing.
