Template:WikidataCoord/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikidataCoord.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 9,300 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:WikidataCoord (sandbox)

This template takes geographic coordinate data in the form provided by Wikidata (dms), formats the data into the form required by Template:Coord, and then calls Template:Coord to create links to GeoHack. The basic form is:

{{WikidataCoord|wikidata page name|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}

wikidata page name – unnamed positional parameter is the Wikidata page name (starting with Q). Default is the current page.
coordinate parameters – passed through to Template:Coord unmodified; see §Usage at Template:Coord
template parameters – passed through to Template:Coord unmodified; see §Usage at Template:Coord
- |display= behavior is different from Template:Coord:
  - when |display= is not present, the rendered coordinates are displayed at the top of the page (equivalent to |display=title):
    {{WikidataCoord|Q218501}} → {{WikidataCoord}} – malformed coordinate data(display at top of page). Only for these combinations the use of this template is restricted:
    This template does not display in the mobile view of OODA WIKI; it is desktop only. Read the documentation for an explanation.
  - when |display= is present but empty, the rendered coordinates are displayed in line (equivalent to |display=inline):
    {{WikidataCoord|Q24012602|display=}} → {{WikidataCoord}} – malformed coordinate data
  - to make the coordinates visible for mobile users, one would use |display=inline,title so that it will display within an infobox and at the top of the page of an article.

Example

For an article that has a |coordinates= parameter within an infobox, use:

|coordinates={{WikidataCoord|display=inline,title}}
