* <code>nis</code> = number identifying each Belgian municipality in Directorate-general [[Statistics Belgium]] [http://www.statbel.fgov.be/]; This number is used to retrieve data (population statistics, coordinates, economy data) from three subtemplates.
* Region, community, and provice are displayed based on the given NIS number. One can use the <code>province</code> parameter to manually override the province with the provided value, otherwise the <code>region</code>, <code>community</code>, and <code>province</code> are only used if the NIS is absent.
* The coordinates (lat_deg etc.) are needed for the dot on the map of Belgium and the title coordinates.

=== Example: Leuven ===

{{Infobox Belgium municipality
| name = Leuven
| namefr = Louvain
| type = city
| picture = Leuven.jpg
| picture-legend = Leuven Town Hall
| map = Leuven Flemish-Brabant Belgium Map.svg
| map-legend = Location of Leuven in Flemish Brabant
| arms = Wapen van Leuven.svg
| flag = Flag of Leuven.svg
| arrondissement = [[Leuven Arrondissement|Leuven]]
| nis = 24062
| mayor = [[Louis Tobback]] ([[SP.A]])
| majority = [[SP.A]]-[[Spirit (political party)|Spirit]], [[CD&V]]-[[N-VA]]
| postal-codes = 3000, 3001, 3010, 3012, 3018
| telephone-area = 016
| web = {{URL|https://www.leuven.be/}}
