Editing Template:Adjacent communities/doc (section)

=== How to use and not use this template ===
In order to ensure consistent usage, the following guidelines apply:
* This template is for {{em|immediately adjacent}} places only.
* Use same-level jurisdictions or equivalent in the directional fields as in the centre. For instance, when using this template for a municipality, show adjacent municipalities; when using it for unincorporated places, show adjacent unincorporated communities; etc.
* When a municipality borders an international, provincial, or state boundary, try to use a municipality in that adjacent jurisdiction rather than the jurisdiction itself.
* Geographical features such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and mountains should be in ''italics'' to differentiate them. But this should only be used sparingly for major defining features, in particular if there is no adjacent jurisdiction (e.g. sea, lake, etc.).
* Avoid cluttering the template with too much detail; it is a navigational guide to provide links to adjacent locations, not a map.
* Don't use flag icons for every link, see [[MOS:INFOBOXFLAG]]. They don't add value and are unnecessarily distracting.
