This is anavigation template to be placed on articles about United Statesdiplomatic missions. The purpose of navigation templates is to provide links betweenexisting articles. Therefore this template only displays links to existing articles about US diplomatic missions, which represents only a small portion of US diplomatic missions.
Embassies are shown as main entries, Consulate-Generals as sub entries, and † denotes American Presence Posts. Missions to organizations, plus the Vatican, are followed by the name of the city in which they are located, eg. "African Union (Addis Ababa)". Former diplomatic missions are followed by the years they were open, eg. "Tehran (1951-79)".
This template contains a list of all US diplomatic missions (as of May 2014). Listings for which there is not currently a Wikipedia article have been hidden using the following code:
<!-- text -->
For example, the following is in the template code but does not show:
<!-- *'''[[Embassy of the United States, Abidjan|Abidjan]]''' -->
If the article for the Abidjan embassy is created, simply remove the bold part of the following:
<!-- * '''Abidjan'''-->
The following line of code in the template will thus display a link to the Abidjan embassy article asAbidjan (in blue):
* '''Abidjan'''
The following former missions are relatively noteworthy and should be considered for creation:
