Template:WikidataCoord/doc

Template page

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:
      • 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}}
