Revision as of 05:39, 18 August 2009 by meta>Noetica (Reworded; no need for "please" (where would it end? :) ), and "overly" is contested vocabulary: more acceptable in US English (though still contested by some dictionaries and style guides there too))

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 parameters:

Full example: {{coord|44.112|-87.913|region:US-WI_type:landmark|display=inline,title}}
