{{Documentation subpage}} {{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Template:Coord | }} {{lua|Module:Coordinates}} {{#switch: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | Template:Coord | Template:Coord/doc = {{Uses Wikidata|P625}} ==Quick guide== '''Lookup coordinates from address''' *[https://www.gps-coordinates.net/ https://www.gps-coordinates.net] {{Coord how-to}} __TOC__ ==Purpose== {{Tld|Coord}} provides a standard notation for encoding locations by their latitude and longitude coordinates. It is primarily for specifying the '''World Geodetic System''' WGS84 geographic coordinates of locations on Earth, at the same time emitting a machine-readable Geo (microformat). However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth. ==Features== Latitude and longitude may be specified (with appropriate precision) either in decimal notation or as degrees/minutes/seconds. By default, coordinates appear in the format used to specify them. However, the <code>format=</code> parameter can be used to force display in a particular format. The template also accepts and displays coordinates formatted as degrees and decimal minutes as found on charts and maritime references. The template displays the formatted coordinates with a '''hyperlink''' to '''GeoHack''' on tswiki. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services. For terrestrial locations, a blue globe appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the WikiMiniAtlas (requires JavaScript). By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text. However, the <code>display=</code> parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page titleβor display them in both places at once. The template outputs coordinates in three formats: * Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input precision). * Decimal degrees (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision) * A machine readable Geo microformat. Logged-in users can customize how coordinates appear in their browsers. <!-- Not currently functional without errors: You can get coordinates from Wikidata by transcluding this template without any numbered arguments. --> You can extract information from the Coord template for use in mathematical expressions. For details, see [[:Module:Coordinates]]. ==Caveats== The template '''must not''' be modified without prior discussion. Tools which read Wikipedia database dumps (such as Google Earth) often ignore inline coordinates. To ensure that coordinates are seen by these tools, one set should be displayed beside the title. However, if multiple title coordinates appear on a single page, they will overlap, making them illegible. == Usage == '''{{coord|'''''latitude'''''|'''''longitude'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}}''' '''{{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}}''' '''{{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}}''' '''{{coord|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''ss'''''|'''''N/S'''''|'''''dd'''''|'''''mm'''''|'''''ss'''''|'''''E/W'''''|'''''[[#1|coordinate parameters]]'''''|'''''[[#2|template parameters]]'''''}}''' The hemisphere identifiers (''N/S'') and (''E/W''), if used, must be adjacent to the enclosing pipe "'''<code>|</code>'''" characters, and cannot be preceded or succeeded by spaces. There are two kinds of parameters, all optional: *<span id="1">'''Coordinate parameters'''</span> are parameters that {{tl|Coord}} passes to the map server. These have the format ''parameter:value'' and are separated from each other by the underscore character ( _ ). The supported coordinate parameters are ''dim:'', ''globe:'', ''region:'', ''scale:'', ''source:'', and ''type:''. See [[#Coordinate parameters|coordinate parameters]] for details and examples. *<span id="2">'''Template parameters'''</span> are parameters used by the {{tl|Coord}} template. These have format ''parameter=value'' and are separated from each other by the pipe character ( | ). The supported template parameters are ''display='', ''format='', ''name='', and ''notes=''. :* '''display=''' can be one of the following: ::* <code>display=inline</code> β Display the coordinate inline (default) ::* <code>display=title</code> β Display the coordinate at the top of the article, beside the article's title ::** shortcut: <code>display=t</code> ::* <code>display=inline,title</code> β Display the coordinate both inline and beside the article's title ::** shortcut: <code>display=it</code> ::* <code>display=title,inline</code> has the same effect as <code>display=inline,title</code> ::Note: the <code>title</code> attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the entire article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case. :* '''format=''' can be used to force ''dec'' or ''dms'' coordinate display. ::* <code>format=dec</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">decimal degrees</span> format. ::* <code>format=dms</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">degrees | minutes | seconds</span> format. :* '''name=''' can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services such as the WikiMiniAtlas. If omitted, the article's title (PAGENAME) is assumed. ::Note: a ''name='' parameter causes {{tl|Coord}} 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. :* '''notes=''' specifies text to be displayed immediately following the coordinates. This is primarily intended for adding footnotes to coordinates displayed beside the title. ==Helper functions== Helper functions are available to manipulate tho output from {{t|Coord}} when it appears in a container template such as an infobox. ===To extract the latitude from a Coord template=== Use: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}</nowiki> </code> β {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}} and similarly to extract the longitude, use: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}</nowiki></code> β {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}} :'''Note: this method removes the microformat markup, and should not be used inside templates which emit parent microformats, such as infoboxes or table-row templates.''' == Examples == {| class="wikitable" | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}} | Toronto β Fully decimal β western hemisphere implied by negation |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43.65|-79.38}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43.65|-79.38}} | Toronto β low precision decimal |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43.6500|-79.3800}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43.6500|-79.3800}} | Toronto β medium precision decimal with trailing zeroes |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43.653500|N|79.384000|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43.653500|N|79.384000|W}} | Toronto β high precision decimal with explicit hemisphere notation |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43|29|N|79|23|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43|29|N|79|23|W}} | Toronto β degrees & minutes |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43|29|13|N|79|23|02|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43|29|4|N|79|23|0|W}} | Toronto β degrees, minutes & seconds |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|43|29|12.6|N|79|23|02.4|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|43|29|12.6|N|79|23|02.4|W}} | Toronto β degrees, minutes, seconds & fractions of seconds |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}} | Moscow β N & E |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dms}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dms}} | Convert to dms format |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|39.098095|-94.587307|format=dms}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|39.098095|-94.587307|format=dms}} | Decimal conversion without N/S/E/W |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dec|name=Moscow}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E|format=dec|name=Moscow}} | Convert to decimal and label on some maps |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}} | Cape Town β S & E |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|35|00|N|105|00|E}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|35|00|N|105|00|E}} | People's Republic of China |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}} | Rio β S & W |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|22|S|43|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|22|S|43|W}} | A Degree Confluence Project. |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|52|28|N|1|55|W|region:GB_type:city|notes=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/UK/0/Birmingham.html|title=Birmingham}}</ref>|display=inline,title}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|52|28|N|1|55|W|region:GB_type:city|notes=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/UK/0/Birmingham.html|title=Birmingham}}</ref>|display=inline,title}} | Birmingham β with display, notes, and parameter settings; note that these coordinates are also displayed at the top of this page. |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|51|25.813|N|0|43.945|E}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|51|25.813|N|0|43.945|E}} | Navigation buoy in the River Medway, England. |- | <code><nowiki>{{coord|51|36.287|N|8|32.018|W}}</nowiki></code> | {{coord|51|36.287|N|8|32.018|W}} | Lighthouse at the Old Head of Kinsale as defined by the Commissioners of Irish Lights. |} ===References=== {{reflist}} == Coordinate parameters == The first unnamed parameter following the longitude is an optional string of coordinate parameters, separated by underscores.
