Quick "how to"
To add the coordinates 57°18′22"N 4°27′32"W to the top of an article, use {{coord\|57\|18\|22\|N\|4\|27\|32\|W\|display=title}} These coordinates are in the format degrees/minutes/seconds
For decimal coordinates, such as 44.112°N 86.913°W, use one of {{coord\|44.112\|N\|87.913\|W\|display=title}} {{coord\|44.112\|-87.913\|display=title}}
Values (including degrees, minutes and seconds) are separated by a pipe ("\|"). Latitude (N/S) before longitude (E/W). Map datum is WGS84. To display the coordinates in the article as well, use "display=inline,title" instead of "display=title". Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1′′ is <31 m).
Optional coordinate parameters are separated by an underscore ("_"): dim: `dim:N` (diameter in meters) region: `region:XX` (uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code) type: `type:XXX`
Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("\|"): display: `display=inline,title` or variant name: `name=Xxxx` Full example: {{coord\|44.117\|-87.913\|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:landmark\|display=inline,title\|name=Klann Road}}
