Revision as of 19:52, 5 April 2007
Purpose
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 https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord/doc¶ms=, then displays the coordinates.
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)
A computer-readable Geo microformat.
This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, and {{coor dms}}. It is hoped that, in future, it will supersede the similar {{coor title dms}} and {{coor at dms}} template families.
{{coord}} will also be used by tools which parse the raw Misplaced Pages database dumps. It must not be modified without reference to that project .
See also Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
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 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 }
See also Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.
Usage
{{coord|latitude|longitude}}
{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W}}
Examples
(These are live geo-microformats and should be detected on this page by parsers)
Class names
The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
