Editing Postcodes in the United Kingdom (section)

===Overview===
The postcodes are alphanumeric, and are (possibly uniquely) variable in length: ranging from six to eight characters (including a space). Each postcode is divided into two parts separated by a single space: the ''outward code'' and the ''inward code'' respectively. The ''outward code'' includes the ''postcode area'' and the ''postcode district'', respectively. The ''inward code'' includes the ''postcode sector'' and the ''postcode unit'' respectively. Examples of postcodes are "SW1W 0NY", "PO16 7GZ", "GU16 7HF", and "L1 8JQ".<ref>{{Cite web |title=SW1W 0NY Postcode - Greater London, England, UK |url=https://trackpostcode.uk/postcode/sw1w/0ny/ |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=trackpostcode.uk}}</ref>
