{{tl|coor/new}}, is a general-purpose geographical coordinate template intended to replace {{tl|coor}}, {{tl|coor d}}, {{tl|coor dm}}, {{tl|coor dms}}, allowing decimal and degree/minutes/seconds parameters of arbitrary precision.
__TOC__


It links to {{Coor URL}}, displays the coordinate in appropriate WGS84 degree/minutes/seconds precision, and also uses the computer-readable [http://microformats.org/wiki/geo geo microformat].
==Purpose==
 
This template, {{tl|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 {{Coor URL}}, 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)
** [[Image:Geo-microformat-button.png|button to indicate the presence of a Geo microformat|This button indicates the presence of a Geo microformat on a page]] A computer-readable [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]].
 
'''This single template supersedes {{tl|coor d}}, {{tl|coor dm}}, {{tl|coor dms}}, {{tl|coor at d}}, {{tl|coor at dm}}, {{tl|coor at dms}}, {{tl|coor title d}}, {{tl|coor title dm}}, and {{tl|coor title dms}}'''
 
{{tl|coord}} will also be used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps. It '''must not''' be modified without reference to that project [link needed].

==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 [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|your monobook.css]]:
:<code>.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline } <br />.geo-dec { display: none }  .geo-dms { display: inline }</code>
 
To always display coordinates as decimal values, add this to [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|your monobook.css]]:
:<code>.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }<br />.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }</code>
 
To display coordinates in both formats, add this to [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|your monobook.css]]:
:<code>.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }<br />.geo-dec { display: inline }  .geo-dms { display: inline }<br />.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }</code>

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 http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord/doc&params=, 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)

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}}

{{coord}} will also be used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps. It must not be modified without reference to that project [link needed].

See also Wikipedia: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 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 at title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)

Class names

The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
