To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of an article, use {{coord\|57\|18\|22\|N\|4\|27\|32\|W\|display=title}} These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.
To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of an article, use either {{coord\|44.112\|N\|87.913\|W\|display=title}} or {{coord\|44.112\|-87.913\|display=title}} These coordinates are in decimal degrees.
Degrees, minutes and seconds must be separated by a pipe ("\|"). Map datum should be WGS84. Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1′′ is <31 m). Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).
Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"): dim: `dim:N` (diameter in meters) region: `region:XX` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 code) type: `type:xxxx` (`landmark` or `city`, for example) Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("\|"): display `display=inline` to display in the body of the article only, `display=title` to display in the title only, or `display=inline,title` to display in both places. name `name=Xxxx` to provide a label (default is PAGENAME) Thus: {{coord\|44.117\|-87.913\|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:landmark\|display=inline,title\|name=Klann Road}}
For full detail, refer to {{Coord/doc}}. Additional guidance is available: obtaining coordinates, converting coordinates
