Map and coordinates

It is usually not necessary to use the coordinates= parameter, or the optional map_locator= parameter.

• The latitude and longitude of the station may be specified:
  • in decimal degrees, using latitude= and longitude= OR
  • in degrees/minutes/seconds, using latd=, latm=, lats=, latNS=, longd=, longm=, longs=, and longEW=.
• To display coordinates at the top of the page, use coordinates_display=yes. Otherwise coordinates will appear in the infobox only.
• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the country= parameter.
  • To override the automatic value, use the iso_region= parameter.

One advantage of omitting the coordinates= and the map_locator= parameters is that you can display a {{Location map}} without duplicating coordinates.

{{Infobox station
...
| coordinates_display = <!-- non-blank to display coordinates at the top of the page. -->
| iso_region          = <!-- To override any automatically determined region code. -->
| map_type            = <!-- Location from Location map. -->
| map_alt             = <!-- Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates. -->
| map_overlay         = <!-- Overlay image file name, to be placed on top of the main map. Should have the same border coordinates. -->
| map_caption         = <!-- ''map caption''; for no caption enter "caption="; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" -->
...
}}

Parameters to specify coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc:

{{Infobox station
...
| latd   = <!-- ''latitude'' degrees -->
| latm   = <!-- ''latitude'' minutes -->
| lats   = <!-- ''latitude'' seconds -->
| latNS  = <!-- latitude: S=south, N=north (default) -->
| longd  = <!-- ''longitude'' degrees -->
| longm  = <!-- ''longitude'' minutes -->
| longs  = <!-- ''longitude'' seconds -->
| longEW = <!-- longitude: W=west, E=east (default) -->
...
}}

Parameters to specify coordinates in decimal degrees:

{{Infobox station
...
| latitude  = <!-- ''latitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for southern latitude) -->
| longitude = <!-- ''longitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for western longitude) --> 
...
}}

Note: coordinates in decimal degrees are sensitive to extra whitespace in the parameters:

• Incorrect: | longitude = - 123.45
• Correct: | longitude = -123.45

External style template

An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=Amtrak will use the {{Amtrak style}} template.

Embedding other infoboxes

The embedded= parameter can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

This first example shows the infobox of Sinanju Station with the Korean names:

{{Infobox station 
| name          = Sinanju Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station
| hangul        = 신안주청년역
| hanja         = {{linktext|新|安|州|青|年|驛}}
| mr            = Sinanju-ch'ŏngnyŏnyŏk
| rr            = Sinanju-cheongnyeonyeok
| image         = DPRK_rail_station.jpg
| image_size    = 
| image_caption = 
| address       = [[Anju, South Pyongan|Anju]], [[South Pyongan Province]]
| country       = North Korea
| coordinates   = 
| line          = [[Pyongui Line|P'yŏngŭi Line]]<br />[[Kaechon Line|Kaech'ŏn Line]]
}}

This second example from the Paso Robles (Amtrak station) article uses S-line in the |services= parameter, and the external style template:

{{Infobox station
| style        = Amtrak
| name         = Paso Robles
| image        = Paso Robles Train Station.jpg
| address      = 800 Pine Street<br />[[Paso Robles, California|Paso Robles]], [[California]] 93446
| line         = [[Coast Starlight]]
| platform     = 1 side platform
| tracks       = 1
| owned        = City of Paso Robles
| services     =
{{s-rail|title=Amtrak}}
{{s-line|system=Amtrak|line=Coast Starlight|previous=Salinas|next=San Luis Obispo|type=R|type2=R}}
}}

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
