Template:Coord how-to

 

To add 57.30611°N, -4.45889°W to the top of an article, use Coord, thus:

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

"title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) and before any other text or images. It also records the coordinates as the primary location of the page's subject in Wikipedia's geosearch API. To add 44.1124°N, -87.913°W to the top of an article, use either

(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) or

(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones). These coordinates are in decimal degrees. Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):
 * Degrees, minutes and seconds, when used, must each be separated by a pipe ("|").
 * Map datum must be WGS84 if possible (except for off-Earth bodies).
 * Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
 * Maintain consistency of decimal places or minutes/seconds between latitude and longitude.
 * Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).


 * dim: N (viewing d iameter i n m etres)
 * region: R (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code)
 * type: T (  or , for example)

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

Thus:  
 * display
 * inline (the default) to display in the body of the article only,
 * title to display at the top of the article only (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view), or
 * inline,title to display in both places.
 * name
 * X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME)

Use title (or inline,title) once per article, for the subject of the article, where appropriate. {{documentation|content=
 * Per WP:ORDER, the template is placed at the bottom of the article in the 'end matter', after any navigation templates, but before all categories, including the DEFAULTSORT template. This template may also be placed within an infobox, instead of at the bottom of the article.
 * For full details, refer to Coord/doc.
 * Additional guidance is available at obtaining coordinates and converting coordinates.
