[edit] Usage

This template is for automatically generating the name of the Venusian quadrangle that a point on the surface is in. It takes four parameters:

{{Venus quadrangle
|latitude=
|N_or_S=
|longitude=
|E_or_W=
}}

So, for example, the point at "59.7° S, 21.5° E" would be input as:

"{{Venus quadrangle|latitude=59.7|N_or_S=S|longitude=21.5|E_or_W=E}}"

Which would give us: "Lada Terra"

This template is intended primarily for use in conjunction with infoboxes and such, to allow articles to be automatically categorized into geographically-grouped subcategories. It shouldn't be substed since that brings a bunch of intricate template coding into the article rather than the simple text name.
