Purpose
[deasaich an tùs]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://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Teamplaid:Coord¶ms=, then displays the coordinates. Clicking the blue globe activates the WikiMiniAtlas (needs Javascript).
The template outputs data in:
- Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input). Some conversions from decimal degrees to dms need fixing (see talk)
- Decimal (precision by number of decimal places, based on input)
- Geo microformat.
{{coord}} is used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps, such as Google Earth. To ensure that the coordinates are parsed correctly display=title must be used. See How do I get my Wikipedia article to show up in the Google Earth Geographic Web layer?. The template must not be modified without prior discussion.
For articles which have no coordinates, but need them, use {{coord missing}}.
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
Superseded templates
[deasaich an tùs]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}}, {{coor title dms}}, and the Geolinks and Mapit templates. All parameters can be used as before - see Usage.

Usage
[deasaich an tùs]{{coord|latitude|longitude|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}
There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:
- Coordinate parameters: Recognized by the map server, given in the format parameter:value and separated from each other with the underscore character '_'. Common coordinate parameters include type, region, and scale. See coordinate parameters for a comprehensive list.
- Template parameters: Used by the template itself, given in the format parameter=value and separated from each other with the pipe character '|'. The supported template parameters are display, name and format.
- display can be one of the following:
display=inline
- Display the coordinate inline (default)display=title
- Display the coordinate by the article title (replaces {{coor title dms}} family), shortcut:display=t
display=inline,title
- Display the coordinate both inline and at title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)
Note: using thetitle
attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case.display=title,inline
works also. Shortcut:display=it
- format can be used to force dec or dms coordinate display for all readers
- name can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services and other external use. It should not be used with coordinates in the article title or within an infobox, as in those cases the name is implicit from the article title.
- display can be one of the following:

Coordinate parameters
[deasaich an tùs]Following the geographical coordinate, further parameters can optionally be supplied, separated by underscores. This will help in finding suitable map resources, and will become more important when the Wikimaps become fully functional.
type:T
[deasaich an tùs]The type:
parameter specifies the type of location for reverse mapping (for instance, to select a marker icon in the WikiMiniAtlas).
It also sets the map scale, which can however be overridden by dim: or scale:.
Valid types are:

scale:N
[deasaich an tùs]The scale:
parameter specifies the desired map scale as 1:N, overriding the scale implied by any type: parameter.
GeoHack uses scale:
to select a map scale for a 72 dpi computer monitor. If no dim:
, type:
, or scale:
parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default scale of 1:300,000.

region:R
[deasaich an tùs]The region:
parameter specifies the political region for terrestrial coordinates. It is used to select appropriate map resources. If no region:
parameter is provided, GeoHack attempts to determine the region from the coordinates.
The region should be supplied as either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code.
Examples of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes:
- AQ Antarctica
- AU Australia
- BR Brazil
- DE Germany
- GB United Kingdom
- HK Hong Kong
- IN India
- LK Sri Lanka
- RU Russia
- US United States
Examples of ISO 3166-2 region codes:
- DE-TH Thuringia, Germany
- GB-BIR Birmingham, England
- NO-03 Oslo, Norway
- US-NY New York state, USA
The oceans have the following Wiki assigned code elements per de:Vorlage:Coordinate#Ozeane.
- XN Arctic Ocean
- XA Atlantic Ocean
- XI Indian Ocean
- XP Pacific Ocean
- XS Southern Ocean
In addition, two Wiki assigned code elements can be used with {{coord}}:
- XZ for objects in or above international waters (similar to UN/LOCODE).
- ZZ for use in examples.

globe:G
[deasaich an tùs]The globe:
parameter specifies the planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or natural satellite upon which the coordinates reside. Apart from earth (the default), recognized values are: mercury, venus, moon, mars, phobos, deimos, ceres, vesta, ganymede, callisto, io, europa, mimas, enceladus, tethys, dione, rhea, titan, hyperion, iapetus, phoebe, miranda, ariel, umbriel, titania, oberon, triton, and pluto.

For globes other than Earth, {{coord}} does not assume a specific reference system (in contrast with Earth's WGS84). Since the template defaults to east longitude, the |W|
direction must be specified for globes that measure longitude westward. At the present time, only limited mapping is available for Mars and the Moon and none for other extraterrestrial bodies. For celestial coordinates, use {{Sky}} instead.
source:S
[deasaich an tùs]Specifies, where present, the data source and data source format/datum, and optionally the original data, presented in parentheses. This is initially primarily intended for use by geotagging robots, so that data is not blindly repeatedly copied from format to format and Wikipedia to Wikipedia, with progressive loss of precision and attributability.
Examples:
- A lat/long geotag derived from an Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference NM 435 355 found in the English-language Wikipedia would be tagged as "source:enwiki-osgb36(NM435355)"
- A latitude-longitude location sourced from data taken from the German-language Wikipedia would be tagged as "source:dewiki" – and so on, for other language codes;
- A location sourced from the public domain GeoNet Names Server database would be tagged as "source:GNS". No datum or format information is needed, since by default all Wikipedia coordinates are in latitude/longitude format based on the WGS84 datum. Similarly, US locations sourced from the similar public domain GNIS database would be tagged as "source:GNIS".
Display
[deasaich an tùs]To always display coordinates as DMS values, add this to your common.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 common.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 common.css:
.geo-default { display: inline }
.geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline }
.geo-dms { display: inline }
.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }
If CSS is disabled, or you have an old copy of MediaWiki:Common.css cached, you will see both formats. (You can either clear your cache or manually refresh this URL: [1].)
To disable display of the blue globe adjacent to coordinates, add this to your common.js
var wma_settings = {enabled:false}
Note that this will disable WikiMiniAtlas
See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.
Name
[deasaich an tùs]If an article contains several display=inline coordinates, each of these may be supplied with a unique name. This name will be used to display the coordinate on the WikiMiniAtlas, and will cause the template to emit an hCard microformat using that name, even if used within an existing hCard. Do not use when the name is that of a person (e.g for a gravesite), as the generated hCard would be invalid. Also, do not use square brackets in names.
Incorrect uses and maintenance category
[deasaich an tùs]The template has a few input checks built in. Basic errors display the message on Coord/input/ERROR (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Coord/input/ERROR for pages to fix)
A series of other input errors categorize the pages in the maintenance category Coord template needing repair. See the category description for more details. There are currently 0 pages in that category.
A general list of coordinates needing repair is at tools:~dispenser/view/File viewer#log:coord-enwiki.log.
