__TOC__

This template, {{tld|coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for, and user-customisable display of, the coordinates.

The template is for [[World Geodetic System|WGS84]] geographical coordinates ([[latitude]];[[longitude]]) on [[Earth]], which can be entered in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters, with the appropriate precision. (For non-terrestrial coordinates, see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#globe:G|Other globes]]; for celestial coordinates, use {{Tl|Sky}}.)

The template outputs data in:

See also [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates]].

This single template supersedes {{tl|coor d}}, (and others in that family which have since been redirected to it), plus the [{{fullurl:Special:PrefixIndex|from=Geolinks&namespace=10}} Geolinks] and [{{fullurl:Special:PrefixIndex|from=Mapit&namespace=10}} Mapit] templates. Most parameters can be used as before - see [[#Usage|Usage]].

Examples:

<table class="wikitable">

</table>

== Usage ==

There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:

::* <code>display=title</code> - Display the coordinate near the article title (replaces {{tl|coor title dms}} family), shortcut: <code>display=t</code>

::* <code>display=inline,title</code> - Display the coordinate both inline and at title (replaces {{tl|coor at dms}} family)

:* '''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.

The template has some input checks built in.  Most errors display a <font color=red><b>bold, red</b></font> message inline and categorize the article in the [[Wikipedia:Hidden category|hidden]] [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Maintenance_categories|maintenance category]] '''[[:Category:Coord template needing repair|Coord template needing repair]]'''. There are currently '''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Coord_template_needing_repair}}''' pages in that category. See the category description for more information.

{{Coord/sub doc}}

For generating PDF, printed books, and Open Office export format, two templates are [[Help:Books/for_experts#Improving_the_book_layout|substituted for the regular templates]]:

*[[Template:Coord/display/title/Print]] for {{tl|Coord/display/title}}

*[[Help:Books/Feedback/Tests/coord 2]]

The class names '''geo''', '''latitude''' and '''longitude''' are used to generate the microformat and '''MUST NOT''' be changed.
