Map and coordinates

It is usually not necessary to use the coordinates= parameter, or the optional map_locator= parameter.

• The latitude and longitude of the station may be specified:
  • in decimal degrees, using latitude= and longitude= OR
  • in degrees/minutes/seconds, using latd=, latm=, lats=, latNS=, longd=, longm=, longs=, and longEW=.
• To display coordinates at the top of the page, use coordinates_display=yes. Otherwise coordinates will appear in the infobox only.
• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the country= parameter.
  • To override the automatic value, use the iso_region= parameter.

One advantage of omitting the coordinates= and the map_locator= parameters is that you can display a {{Location map}} without duplicating coordinates.

{{Infobox station
...
| coordinates_display = <!-- non-blank to display coordinates at the top of the page. -->
| iso_region          = <!-- To override any automatically determined region code. -->
| map_type            = <!-- Location from Location map. -->
| map_alt             = <!-- Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates. -->
| map_caption         = <!-- ''map caption''; for no caption enter "caption="; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" -->
...
}}

Parameters to specify coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc:

{{Infobox station
...
| latd   = <!-- ''latitude'' degrees -->
| latm   = <!-- ''latitude'' minutes -->
| lats   = <!-- ''latitude'' seconds -->
| latNS  = <!-- latitude: S=south, N=north (default) -->
| longd  = <!-- ''longitude'' degrees -->
| longm  = <!-- ''longitude'' minutes -->
| longs  = <!-- ''longitude'' seconds -->
| longEW = <!-- longitude: W=west, E=east (default) -->
...
}}

Parameters to specify coordinates in decimal degrees:

{{Infobox station
...
| latitude  = <!-- ''latitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for southern latitude) -->
| longitude = <!-- ''longitude'' (decimal format; enter negative numbers for western longitude) --> 
...
}}

Note: coordinates in decimal degrees are sensitive to extra whitespace in the parameters:

• Incorrect: | longitude = - 123.45
• Correct: | longitude = -123.45

External style template

An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=Amtrak will use the {{Amtrak style}} template.

Parameter	Description
name_format	Formatting the station name in Infobox Station
thcolor	Font color for table headings in Infobox Station
thbgcolor	Background color for table headings in Infobox Station

Embedding other infoboxes

The embedded= parameter can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

Examples

This first example shows the infobox of Sinanju Station with the Korean names:

Sinanju Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station
Template:Infobox Korean name
General information
Location	Anju, South Pyongan Province North Korea
Line(s)	P'yŏngŭi Line Kaech'ŏn Line

{{Infobox station 
| name          = Sinanju Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station
| hangul        = 신안주청년역
| hanja         = {{linktext|新|安|州|青|年|驛}}
| mr            = Sinanju-ch'ŏngnyŏnyŏk
| rr            = Sinanju-cheongnyeonyeok
| image         = DPRK_rail_station.jpg
| image_size    = 
| image_caption = 
| address       = [[Anju, South Pyongan|Anju]], [[South Pyongan Province]]
| country       = North Korea
| coordinates   = 
| line          = [[P'yŏngŭi Line]]<br/>[[Kaech'ŏn Line]]
}}

This second example from the Paso Robles (Amtrak station) article uses S-line in the |services= parameter, and the external style template:

Template:S-end

Paso Robles
Location	800 Pine Street Paso Robles, California 93446
Owned by	City of Paso Robles
Line(s)	Coast Starlight
Platforms	1 side platform
Tracks	1
Services
Template:S-rail-start
Template:S-line/side cell		Template:Amtrak lines		Template:S-line/side cell

{{Infobox station
| style        = Amtrak
| name         = Paso Robles
| image        = Paso Robles Train Station.jpg
| address      = 800 Pine Street<br />[[Paso Robles, California|Paso Robles]], [[California]] 93446
| line         = [[Coast Starlight]]
| platform     = 1 side platform
| tracks       = 1
| owned        = City of Paso Robles
| services     =
{{s-rail|title=Amtrak}}
{{s-line|system=Amtrak|line=Coast Starlight|previous=Salinas|next=San Luis Obispo|type=R|type2=R}}
}}

Microformat

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

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

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

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