Coordinates

[edit]

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

Microformat

[edit]

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles 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.

Sub-templates

[edit]

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use ((start date)) for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use ((URL)).

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

[edit]

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
uid
url
vcard

Geo is produced by calling ((coord)), and uses HTML classes:

geo
latitude
longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

[edit]

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use ((coord))'s |name= parameter.

No description.
