To add 57°18′22″N 4°27′32″W / 57.30611°N 4.45889°W to the top of an article, use {{Coord}}, thus:
These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc. "title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page and before any other text or images. |
To add 44°06′43″N 87°54′47″W / 44.112°N 87.913°W to the top of an article, use either
(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) or
(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones) These coordinates are in decimal degrees. |

Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):
Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):
Thus:

Purpose
[தொகு]{{Coord}}
provides a standard notation for encoding locations by their நிலநேர்க்கோடு and நிலநிரைக்கோடு coordinates. It is primarily for specifying the WGS84 geographic coordinates of locations on புவி, at the same time emitting a machine-readable Geo microformat. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth.
- To specify celestial coordinates, use {{Sky}} instead.
- Tag articles which lack coordinates (but need them) with {{Coord missing}}.
- If the subject's location is truly unknown or disputed, note this with {{coord unknown}}.
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
Features
[தொகு]Latitude and longitude may be specified (with appropriate precision) either in decimal notation or as degrees/minutes/seconds. By default, coordinates appear in the format used to specify them. However, the format=
parameter can be used to force display in a particular format.
The template displays the formatted coordinates with a மீயிணைப்பு to GeoHack. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services.
For terrestrial locations, a blue globe () appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the WikiMiniAtlas (requires யாவாக்கிறிட்டு).
By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text. However, the display=
parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page title—or display them in both places at once.
The template outputs coordinates in three formats:
- Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input precision).
- Decimal degrees (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision)
- A machine readable Geo microformat.
Logged-in users can customize how coordinates appear in their browsers.
You can get coordinates from Wikidata by transcluding this template without any numbered arguments.
Caveats
[தொகு]The template must not be modified without prior discussion.
Tools which read Wikipedia database dumps (such as கூகிள் எர்த்) often ignore inline coordinates. To ensure that coordinates are seen by these tools, one set should be displayed beside the title. See How do I get my Wikipedia article to show up in the Google Earth Geographic Web layer?. However, if multiple title coordinates appear on a single page, they will overlap, making them illegible.
Superseded templates
[தொகு]This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, (and others in that family which have since been redirected to it), plus the Geolinks and Mapit templates. Most parameters can be used as before – see Usage.
Examples:
{{coord|10.2|N|-20.3|E|type:city}} | Replaces {{coor d|10.2|N|-20.3|E|city}} |
{{coord|44.4|-111.1|type:city_region:US|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{Geolinks-US-cityscale|44.4|-111.1}} |
{{coord|51.01234|-1.56789|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{Geolinks-UK-buildingscale|51.01234|-1.56789}} |
{{coord|-35.5|150.1|type:landmark_region:AU|display=inline,title}} | Replaces {{Mapit-AUS-suburbscale|lat=-35.5|long=150.1}} |
{{coord|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W|display=title}} | Replaces {{CoorHeader|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W}} |
Usage
[தொகு]{{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}}
The hemisphere identifiers (N/S) and (E/W), if used, must be adjacent to the enclosing pipe "|
" characters, and cannot be preceded or succeeded by spaces.
There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:
- Coordinate parameters are parameters that {{Coord}} passes to the map server. These have the format parameter:value and are separated from each other by the underscore character ( _ ). The supported coordinate parameters are dim:, globe:, region:, scale:, source:, and type:. See coordinate parameters for details and examples.
- Template parameters are parameters used by the {{Coord}} template. These have format parameter=value and are separated from each other by the pipe character ( | ). The supported template parameters are display=, format=, name=, and notes=.
- display= can be one of the following:
display=inline
– Display the coordinate inline (default)display=title
– Display the coordinate at the top of the article, beside the article's title (replaces {{coor title dms}} family)- shortcut:
display=t
- shortcut:
display=inline,title
– Display the coordinate both inline and beside the article's title (replaces {{coor at dms}} family)- shortcut:
display=it
- shortcut:
display=title,inline
has the same effect asdisplay=inline,title
- Note: the
title
attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the entire article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case.
- format= can be used to force dec or dms coordinate display.
format=dec
reformats the coordinates to decimal degrees format.format=dms
reformats the coordinates to degrees | minutes | seconds format.
- name= can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services such as the WikiMiniAtlas. If omitted, the article's title (PAGENAME) is assumed.
- Note: a name= parameter causes {{Coord}} to emit an hCard microformat using that name, even if used within an existing hCard. Do not use when the name is that of a person (e.g for a gravesite), as the generated hCard would be invalid. Also, do not use square brackets in names.
- notes= specifies text to be displayed immediately following the coordinates. This is primarily intended for adding footnotes to coordinates displayed beside the title.
Displaying all coordinate links on one map
[தொகு]The template {{GeoGroup}} can be used in an article with coordinates. This template creates links to Google Maps and Bing which display all the coordinates on a single map, and links to other services which allow the coordinates to be used or downloaded in a variety of formats.

[தொகு]The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
Template Data
[தொகு]This template uses overloading which does not work well with the VisualEditor/TemplateData. Consider using "Edit source" instead of the visual editor until this defect is corrected. To facilitate visual editing in the mean time, consider using {{coordDec}} for signed decimal degrees, {{coordDMS}} when degrees minutes and seconds are specified, and {{coordDM}} when just degrees and minutes are given.
TemplateData for Coord
Encodes the latitude and longitude coordinates of a location, provides a link to map of the location. This template does not work well with the Visual Editor, consider using {{coordDec}} for signed decimal degrees, {{coordDMS}} when degrees minutes and seconds are specified {{coordDM}} when only degrees and minutes are specified. To use this template you will need to use positional parameter following one of these schemes: {{coord | D | M | S | NS | D | M | S | EW | geo | opts}}, {{coord | D | M | NS | D | M | EW | geo | opts}}, {{coord | D| NS | D| EW | geo | opts}} {{coord | sD | sD | geo | opts}} where D is degrees, M is minutes, S seconds, sD signed decimal degrees, NS is N or S, EW is E or W, opts are named parameter and geo are the coordinate parameters described on the main doc page.

---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | Either degrees latitude or a signed decimal degrees latitude | Number | required |
2 | 2 | Either: minutes latitude, signed decimal degrees longitude or 'N' or 'S'. | String | required |
3 | 3 | Either: second latitude, degrees longitude, 'N' or 'S' or GeoHack parameters | String | optional |
4 | 4 | Either: degrees longitude, 'N', 'S', 'E' or 'W' or GeoHack parameters | String | optional |
5 | 5 | Either: degrees longitude, minutes longitude or GeoHack parameters | String | optional |
