Quick how to v t e
To add 57°18′22.5″N 4°27′32.7″W / 57.306250°N 4.459083°W / 57.306250; -4.459083 ⧼validator-fatal-error⧽ to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus: `{{Coord\|57\|18\|22.5\|N\|4\|27\|32.7\|W\|display=title}}` These coordinates are in degrees , minutes , and seconds of arc.
To add 44°06′43″N 87°54′47″W / 44.112°N 87.913°W / 44.112; -87.913 ⧼validator-fatal-error⧽ to the top of an article, use either `{{Coord\|44.112\|N\|87.913\|W\|display=title}}` or `{{Coord\|44.112\|-87.913\|display=title}}` These coordinates are in decimal degrees.
Degrees, minutes and seconds must be separated by a pipe ("\|"). Map datum must be WGS84 (except for off-earth bodies). Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m). Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).
Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"): dim: `dim:`N (viewing diameter in metres) region: `region:`R (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code) type: `type:`T (`landmark` or `city(30,000)`, for example) Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("\|"): display `\|display=inline` (the default) to display in the body of the article only, `\|display=title` to display in the title only, or `\|display=inline,title` to display in both places. name `name=`X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME ) Thus: `{{Coord\|44.117\|-87.913\|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:event` `\|display=inline,title\|name=accident site}}` Use `\|display=title` (or `\|display=inline,title`) once per article, for the subject of the article, where appropriate.
Per WP:ORDER , the template is placed in articles after any navigation templates , but before any Persondata or Defaultsort templates, or Categories . For full detail, refer to {{Coord/doc}}. Additional guidance is available: obtaining coordinates , converting coordinates
