Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from template:location/doc. (edit | history)

Template used for Geo-codeing Commons images, providing camera location using degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) notation or decimal notation. See Commons:Geocoding for more information.

{{Location}} is the main template of the {{Location dec}}, {{Location dec}}, {{Object location}}, {{Object location dec}}, {{Globe location}} family, as all the other templates rely on {{Location}} sub-templates.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Media with locations or Category:Media with erroneous locations

Usage

{{Location|1=|2=|3=|4=|5=|6=|7=|8=|9=}}

Should be placed directly above or below {{Information}}, {{Artwork}} or other similar template.
Note: some users prefer to include location template(s) into the „Description“ field of {{Information}} template in order to group all location information together – objections are in point of graphic design not ideal adjusted for such use. See this and this discussion.

Parameters

Parameter name	Description	Default value	required or optional?
parameter #1 (1)	Degrees of Latitude	empty	required
parameter #2 (2)	Minutes of Latitude	empty	required
parameter #3 (3)	Seconds of Latitude	empty	required
parameter #4 (4)	Latitude Direction (N or S)	empty	required
parameter #5 (5)	Degrees of Longitude	empty	required
parameter #6 (6)	Minutes of Longitude	empty	required
parameter #7 (7)	Seconds of Longitude	empty	required
parameter #8 (8)	Longitude Direction (W or E)	empty	required
parameter #9 (9)	Information attributes - used to pass to GeoHack server metadata about the coordinates. This information is not used by {{Location}} template. Attributes have to be in the format field1:value1_field2:value2_field3:value3, etc. The following fields are supported: region:XX-YYY specifies the political region, used to select appropriate map resources. See here for more info. XX is an ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 country code abbreviation, and YYY is a 1-, 2- or 3- characters ISO 3166-2 (see en:ISO 3166-2#Format for details) province/region/state code abbreviation (typically the same as a local postal code abbreviation). heading: indicate the direction the camera was pointing at. It is given as degree values 0-360 (clockwise with north as 0) or a compass point abbreviation (up to four letters) as defined in Boxing the compass. (Example: heading:NW) scale:N specifies the desired map scale as 1:N. Since most images are at the lowest scale, the parameter should be given only if values different from the default are desired. See here for more info. dim:<width><units> specifies the width of the object in meters or kilometers (example: dim:120m or dim:10km. Since most images are at the lowest scale, the parameter should be given only if values different from the default are desired. See here for more info. class:object is hard-coded value which will be added automatically to all images to tag this location as the ""object location	empty	optional
secondary	This template calls {{#coordinates:}} parser function, one of the parameters of which is primary vs. secondary label. Primary coordinates define file's camera location and are the default. Use this parameter to define coordinates as secondary.	empty	optional
