Purpose
[మార్చు]These geoboxes were created:
- To provide a means for creating consistently-formatted tables and summarizing information
- To improve navigation between articles within closely-related subjects
- To maximize the ease of creating and upgrading infoboxes
- To improve the ease of transferring information to other language Wikipedias by using standardized, database-like fields
Features
[మార్చు]- no need to format the input data in any way; it is handled by the template
- automated locator dot placement on maps, based on coordinates or X/Y values
- automated unit conversion from metric to imperial or reverse
- automated wikilinking
- additional fields
- background maps
- foldable list on all multiple fields
- international categories, (e.g., World Heritage Site), eliminating the need for a second infobox on the same page
Tracking categories

Editors should not change from one to the other without good reason or broad consensus.
