Purpose
[àtúnṣe àmìọ̀rọ̀]These geoboxes were created:
- To provide a means for creating consistently-formatted tables and summarizing information
- To improve navigation between articles within closely-related subjects
- To maximize the ease of creating and upgrading infoboxes
- To improve the ease of transferring information to other language Wikipedias by using standardized, database-like fields
