To add the coordinates57°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}}
|
For decimal coordinates, such as44.112°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 bya pipe ("|").
Latitude (N/S) before longitude (E/W).Map datum is WGS84.
Please don't beoverly precise (0.0001° is <11 m, 1′′ is <31 m). |

Purpose
This template, {{coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for the coordinates.
The template is forWGS84 geographical coordinates (latitude;longitude) onEarth, which can be entered in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters, with the appropriate precision.
It links tohttps://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord¶ms=, then displays the coordinates. Clicking the blue globe
activates theWikiMiniAtlas (needs Javascript).
The template outputs data in:
- Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input). Some conversions from decimal degrees to dms need fixing (seetalk)
- Decimal (precision by number of decimal places, based on input)
- Geo microformat.
{{coord}} is used by tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps, such asGoogle Earth. To ensure that the coordinates are parsed correctlydisplay=title must be used. SeeHow do I get my Wikipedia article to show up in the Google Earth Geographic Web layer?. The templatemust not be modified without prior discussion.
For articles which have no coordinates, but need them, use {{coord missing}}.
See alsoWikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
Superseded templates
This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, {{coor dms}}, {{coor at d}}, {{coor at dm}}, {{coor at dms}}, {{coor title d}}, {{coor title dm}}, {{coor title dms}}, and theGeolinks andMapit templates. All parameters can be used as before - seeUsage.
Examples:
| {{coord|12|N|45|W|display=title}} | Replaces {{coortitle d|12|N|45|W}} |
| {{coord|12|34|N|45|33|W|display=title}} | Replaces {{coortitle dm|12|34|N|45|33|W}} |
| {{coord|12|34|56|N|45|33|22|W|display=title}} | Replaces {{coortitle dms|12|34|56|N|45|33|8|W}} |
| {{coord|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{coorat dms|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W}} |
| {{coord|10.2|-20.3|display=inline}} or {{coord|10.2|-20.3}} | Replaces {{coor d|10.2|N|-20.3|E}} |
| {{coord|44.4|-111.1|type:city_region:US|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{Geolinks-US-cityscale|44.4|-111.1}} |

Usage
{{coord|latitude|longitude|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:
- Coordinate parameters: Recognised by the map server, given in the formatparameter:value and separated from each other with the underscore character '_'. Common coordinate parameters includetype,region, andscale. Seecoordinate parameters for a comprehensive list.
- Template parameters: Used by the template itself, given in the formatparameter=value and separated from each other with the pipe character '|'. The supported template parameters aredisplay,name andformat.
- display can be one of the following:
display=inline - Display the coordinate inline (default)display=title - Display the coordinate by the article title (replaces {{coor title dms}} family), shortcut:display=tdisplay=inline,title - Display the coordinate both inline and at title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)
Note: using thetitle attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case.display=title,inline works also. Shortcut:display=it
- format can be used to forcedec ordms coordinate display for all readers
- name can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services and other external use. It should not be used with coordinates in the article title or within an infobox, as in those cases the name is implicit from the article title.
Examples
Coordinate parameters
Following the geographical coordinate, further parameters can optionally be supplied, separated by underscores. This will help in finding suitable map resources, and will become more important when theWikimaps become fully functional.

Incorrect uses and maintenance category
The template has a few input checks built in. Basic errors display the message onCoord/input/ERROR (seeSpecial:WhatLinksHere/Template:Coord/input/ERROR for pages to fix)
A series of other input errors categorize the pages in themaintenance categoryCoord template needing repair. See the category description for more details. There are currently0 pages in that category.
Coordinates in PDF
For the generation of the PDF version, printed books and Open Office export format, two templates aresubstituted for the regular templates:

Class names
The class namesgeo,latitude andlongitude are used to generate the microformat andMUST NOT be changed.
Template Data
This template uses overloading which does not work well with theVisualEditor/TemplateData. Consider using "Edit source" instead of the visual editor until this defect is corrected.
