This template, {{coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for the coordinates.
The template is for WGS84 geographical coordinates (latitude;longitude) on Earth, which can be entered in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters, with the appropriate precision.
It links to Template:Coor URL, then displays the coordinates. Clicking the blue globe activates the WikiMiniAtlas (needs Javascript).
The template outputs data in:
- Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input)
- Decimal (precision by number of decimal places, based on input)
- A computer-readable Geo microformat.
{{coord}} is used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps, such as Google Earth. The template must not be modified without prior discussion.
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
Superseded templates
This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, {{coor dms}}, {{coor at d}}, {{coor at dm}}, {{coor at dms}}, {{coor title d}}, {{coor title dm}}, and {{coor title dms}}. All parameters can be used as before - see Usage.
Examples:
{{coord|12|34|N|45|33|W|display=title}} | Replaces {{coor title dm|12|34|N|45|67|W}} |
{{coord|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{coor at dms|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W}} |
{{coord|10.2|-20.3|display=inline}} or {{coord|10.2|-20.3}} | Replaces {{coor d|10.2|N|-20.3|E}} |
Display
By default coordinates are displayed in the format in which they are specified.
To always display coordinates as DMS values, add this to your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: none } .geo-dms { display: inline }
To always display coordinates as decimal values, add this to your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }
To display coordinates in both formats, add this to your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: inline }
.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }
If CSS is disabled, or you have an old copy of MediaWiki:Common.css cached, you will see both formats. (The cache for Common.css takes 31 days to expire, and the changes were made 2007-04-04. You can either clear your cache or manually refresh this URL: [1].)
See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.
Usage
{{coord|latitude|longitude|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}} {{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}
There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:
- Coordinate parameters: Recognised by the map server, given in the format parameter:value and separated from each other with the underscore character '_'. Common coordinate parameters include type, region, and scale. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Parameters for a comprehensive list.
- Template parameters: Used by the template itself, given in the format parameter=value and separated from each other with the pipe character '|'. The supported template parameters are display and format.
- display can be one of the following:
display=inline
- Display the coordinate inline (default)display=title
- Display the coordinate by the article title (replaces {{coor title dms}} family)display=inline,title
- Display the coordinate both inline and at title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)
Note: using thetitle
attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case.
- format can be used to force dec or dms coordinate display for all readers
- display can be one of the following:

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