Templat:Coord how-to

Quick how to

To add 57°18′22.5″N 4°27′32.7″W

to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus:

{{Coord|57|18|22.5|N|4|27|32.7|W|display=title}}

These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.

To add [http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Templat:Coord_how-to&params=44.112_N_87.913_W_

• Degrees, minutes and seconds must be separated by a pipe ("|").
• Map datum should be WGS84.
• Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
• Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).

Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):

• dim: dim:N (viewing diameter in metres)
• region: region:R (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code)
• type: type:T (landmark or city(30,000), for example)

Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):

• display

  display=inline (the default) to display in the body of the article only,

  display=title to display in the title only, or

  display=inline,title to display in both places.

• name

  name=X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME)

Thus: {{Coord|44.117|-87.913|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:event

|display=inline,title|name=accident site}}
