[edit] Coordinates

For coordinates, use {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.

[edit] Microformat

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.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • "adr"
  • "county-name"
  • "fn"
  • "label"
  • "locality"
  • "nickname"
  • "note"
  • "org"
  • "region"
  • "street-address"
  • "vcard"

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

  • "geo"
  • "latitude"
  • "longitude"

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.

Notes:

  • Dist#, Location# and Dir#: This is the distance, and optionally direction, to another location. The '#' is replaced with a number between 1 and 5. Therefore distances, for up to five locations, can be listed using the range 'dist1' - 'dist5', and locations can be listed as 'location1' - 'location5'. Each dist# must be partnered with an appropriate location#. An optional field is dir#, a free text field, which equates to a direction.

eg. | dist1 = 36 | location1 = Lae | dir1 = north-west

will show: 36km north-west of Lae.
