This template is used on approximately 91,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates) and is easily converted, by adding them, into {{coord}}.
Either one of the country names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country, or a smaller area, such as a state or province, where that sub-subcategory exists or is warranted. Where a particular country cannot be identified, one of the continent names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by continent should be used instead.
If a category is renamed, leave a category redirect page at the old name, as this template resolves category redirects. E.g. by default the parameter "Washington, D.C." would populate Category:Washington, D.C. articles missing geocoordinate data, but this is redirected, so the template instead populates the target Category:Washington, D.C., articles missing geocoordinate data.
The template should be removed when coordinates are added to the article.
A bot occasionally removes it from all articles that already use {{coor URL}}.
The name of the area this article details. Please refer to 'Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country' and its subcategories for accepted values. To add 57°18′22″N 4°27′32″W / 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°06′45″N 87°54′47″W / 44.1124°N 87.9130°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 ("_"): Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"): Thus: Use commons:Template:Location possible
