ਫਰਮਾ:Coord missing
 | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates) and is easily converted, by adding them, into {{coord}}.
Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]{{Coord missing|region name}}
Parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]- region name
Either one of the country names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country, or a smaller area, such as a state or province, where that sub-subcategory exists or is warranted. Where a particular country cannot be identified, one of the continent names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by continent should be used instead.
- The categories are hidden categories. To view hidden categories, one needs to activate them in Special:Preferences. Under "Appearance", there is "Show hidden categories".
Removal of template
[ਸੋਧੋ]The template should be removed when coordinates are added to the article.
A bot occasionally removes it from all articles that already use {{coor URL}}.
Error tracking
[ਸੋਧੋ]- Category:Unclassified articles missing geocoordinate data
For pages where no region name is supplied - Category:Misclassified articles missing geocoordinate data
For pages where the region name does not match a valid category
Template data
[ਸੋਧੋ]TemplateData for Coord missing
This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates). Use the {{coord}} template to add geographical data.
| ਮਾਪਦੰਡ | ਵੇਰਵਾ | ਕਿਸਮ | ਦਰਜਾ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region name | 1 | The name of the area this article details. Please refer to 'Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country' and its subcategories for accepted values. | String | optional |
Adding coordinates
[ਸੋਧੋ]To add 57°18′22″N 4°27′32″W / 57.30611°N 4.45889°W to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus:
{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}}
These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.
"title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) and before any other text or images. It also records the coordinates as the primary location of the page's subject in Wikipedia's geosearch API.
To add 44°06′45″N 87°54′47″W / 44.1124°N 87.9130°W to the top of an article, use either
{{Coord|44.1124|N|87.9130|W|display=title}}
(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) or
{{Coord|44.1124|-87.9130|display=title}}
(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones). These coordinates are in decimal degrees.
- Degrees, minutes and seconds, when used, must each be separated by a pipe ("|").
- Map datum must be WGS84 if possible (except for off-Earth bodies).
- Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
- Maintain of decimal places or minutes/seconds between latitude and longitude.
- 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 (landmarkorcity(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=titleto display at the top of the article only (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view), or|display=inline,titleto display in both places.
- name
name=X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME)
Thus: {{Coord|44.1172|-87.9135|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 all categories, including the {{DEFAULTSORT}} template. This template may also be placed within an infobox, instead of at the bottom of an article.
- For full details, refer to {{Coord/doc}}.
- Additional guidance is available at obtaining coordinates and converting coordinates.
- Obtain the coordinates
- Use the appropriate infobox parameters, or {{coord}}.
- Follow the Manual of Style.
- Please don't be overly precise.
