Quick "how to"
To add the coordinates 57°18′N 4°27′W to the top of an article, use
{{coord|57|18|N|4|27|W|display=title}}

Degrees, minutes (and seconds) are separated by a pipe ("|").
Latitude (N/S) before longitude (E/W)

For decimal coordinates, such as 44.1°N 86.9°W, use
{{coord|44.1|N|87.9|W|display=title}}
or
{{coord|44.1|-87.9|display=title}}
