To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus:
These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc. "title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page and before any other text or images. |
To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of an article, use either
(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) or
(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones) These coordinates are in decimal degrees. |
|
Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):
Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):
Thus:
