WP:COORD

This template, {{coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for the coordinates.

The template is for WGS84 geographical coordinates (latitude;longitude) on Earth, which can be entered in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters, with the appropriate precision.

It links to http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord&params=, then displays the coordinates. Clicking the blue globe Image:Erioll world.svg activates the WikiMiniAtlas (needs Javascript).

The template outputs data in:

  • Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input)
  • Decimal (precision by number of decimal places, based on input)

{{coord}} is used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps, such as Google Earth. The template must not be modified without prior discussion.

See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.

Superseded templates

This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, {{coor dms}}, {{coor at d}}, {{coor at dm}}, {{coor at dms}}, {{coor title d}}, {{coor title dm}}, and {{coor title dms}}. All parameters can be used as before - see Usage.

Examples:

{{coord|12|34|N|45|33|W|display=title}}Replaces {{coor title dm|12|34|N|45|67|W}}
{{coord|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W|display=inline,title}}Replaces {{coor at dms|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W}}
{{coord|10.2|-20.3|display=inline}} or {{coord|10.2|-20.3}}Replaces {{coor d|10.2|N|-20.3|E}}

Display

By default coordinates are displayed in the format in which they are specified.

To always display coordinates as DMS values, add this to your monobook.css:

.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: none } .geo-dms { display: inline }

To always display coordinates as decimal values, add this to your monobook.css:

.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }

To display coordinates in both formats, add this to your monobook.css:

.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: inline }
.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }

If CSS is disabled, or you have an old copy of MediaWiki:Common.css cached, you will see both formats. (The cache for Common.css takes 31 days to expire, and the changes were made 2007-04-04. You can either clear your cache or manually refresh this URL: [1].)

See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.

Usage

{{coord|latitude|longitude|parameters|display=display}}
{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W|parameters|display=display}}
{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W|parameters|display=display}}
{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W|parameters|display=display}}
  • display, which is optional, can be one of the following:
    • inline (default): display the coordinate inline
    • title: display the coordinate by the article title, right-justified (replaces {{coor title dms}} family)
    • inline,title: display both inline and at title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)

Note: using the title attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case. It will be used to add the article to services such as Google Earth layers.
