Template:England Ceremonial Counties Labelled Map/doc

This template displays a labelled map of the ceremonial counties of England (or their historical equivalents), with each county name linked to a Wikipedia article or category associated with that county. It is intended to provide a navigation template for family of county-related articles about the same subject matter. For example, the links could all take the form "List of rivers in ".

Links to articles that do not exist will be displayed as red links, following normal practice. (It would be technically possible to make this template hide red links, but that would make the source code rather more complicated.)

The template is capable of showing counties at various times in the past, specifically in 1851, 1889, 1965, 1974, 1996, 1997, or 1998 (the current counties as of 2012).

Usage
All parameters are optional. Without parameters, the links are to the articles named after each county, e.g. "Essex". Note that the Greater London link defaults to "London". To override this to link to "Greater London", use. Also, the West Midlands link defaults to "West Midlands". To override this to link to "West Midlands (county)", use.
