Documentation

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

{{Location}} – used to provide camera location using degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) notation
{{Location dec}} – used to provide camera location using decimal notation
{{Object location}} – used to provide object location using DMS notation
{{Object location dec}} – used to provide object location using decimal notation
{{Globe location}} - used to provide object location on other globes, like moon, mars, etc. Uses both decimal and DMS notations.

In most of the cases camera location is preferred and most of the images should use the first two templates. However in some cases object location, indicating position of the main subject of the photograph, makes more sense, for example when providing location of a painting or sheet music. It can also be used to point to a nearby feature when giving the location of a plant or animal where an exact location is not appropriate (eg where you do not want to reveal the exact location of a rare plant).

Those four templates output a Geo_(microformat) and add images to either Category:Media with locations or Category:Media with erroneous locations.

Examples

Code {{Location|34|1|27.37|N|116|9|29.88|W|region:DE-NI_type:landmark_scale:10000_heading:SE}}

Produces

Camera location	34° 1' 27.37" N, 116° 9' 29.88" W	This and other images at their locations on: Google Maps - Google Earth - OpenStreetMap	(Info)

Code {{Location dec|34.02427|-116.15830|region:DE-NI_type:landmark_scale:10000_heading:SW}}

Produces

Camera location	34° 1' 27.37" N, 116° 9' 29.88" W	This and other images at their locations on: Google Maps - Google Earth - OpenStreetMap	(Info)

Code {{Object location dec|34.02427|-116.15830|region:DE-NI_type:landmark_scale:10000}}

Produces

Object location	34° 1' 27.37" N, 116° 9' 29.88" W	This and other images at their locations on: Google Maps - Google Earth - OpenStreetMap - Proximityrama	(Info)

Code {{Globe Location|34.02427|-116.15830|moon}}

Produces

Location on moon	34° 1' 27.37" N, 116° 9' 29.88" W		(Info)

Code {{Globe location|34|1|27.37|N|116|9|29.88|W|mars}}

Produces

Location on mars	34° 1' 27.37" N, 116° 9' 29.88" W		(Info)

Note, that with above two templates, you should indicate camera position and not object position. To make clear what what was photographed add the heading:xyz parameter using degrees or direction acronyms as shown on the compass. See Commons:Geocoding#Parameters for more information.

Also note that the output of those two templates is identical despite of different inputs.

The syntax and output of {{Object location}} and {{Object location dec}} templates is the same, except for the word "Object" in the template name resulting in use of Object Location phrase instead of Camera Location in the output.

File:Compass Card.png

Compass rose

Where:

region:XX-YYY

XX is an ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 country code abbreviation, and
YYY is a 2- or 3- characters ISO 3166-2 province/region/state code abbreviation (typically the same as a local postal code abbreviation).

type: is a class descriptor about the object. It is defined by geohack.php and mapsources.php on ToolServer.Org and corresponding documentation can be found on en:WP:GEO. NOTE: type:landmark is hard-coded default value
scale: is an information about which range the image covers, given in meters (1000 is 1 kilometer)
heading: is either a compass rose point (up to four letters) or degree heading (zeropoint North, clockwise).

Translation

To create a new language version of all four templates, create a new subpage of Template:Location, cut and paste code below and translate terms in bold letters. For some languages it might also make sence to translate optional labels written in italics.
