Coordinates
[మార్చు]For coordinates, use
| latd = | latm = | lats = | latNS = | longd= | longm= | longs= | longEW= | coordinates_display=
which displays linked coordinates using the {{coord}} template. Example: 42°01'59.23"N, 70°10'07.15"W would be entered as:
| latd = 42 | latm = 1 | lats = 59.23 | latNS = N | longd = 70 | longm = 10 | longs = 7.15 | longEW = W
or it can be entered in decimal notation, 42.033119, -70.168653, as:
| latd = 42.033119 | longd = -70.168653
- coordinates_display – sets the {{coord}} template display option: inline (default), title or inline,title
Alternatively, you can use the {{coord}} template directly using the coordinates = option. For example,
| coordinates = {{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}
Pushpin map
[మార్చు]To add a {{Location map}}, specify which map using pushpin_map=. For this option to work, the coordinates must be specified using latd= and longd= (i.e. don't use coordinates=).
| Parameter | Usage | Example(s) |
|---|---|---|
| pushpin_map | The name of the map to be displayed. | pushpin_map=France pushpin_map=USA Florida
|
| relief | Any non-blank value will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter. | relief=yes relief=1
|
| pushpin_mapsize | Width to display the map image in pixels. The default is 240. | pushpin_mapsize=200 (not pushpin_mapsize=200px)
|
| pushpin_map_alt | Alternative text for the map image, see WP:ALT. | |
| pushpin_map_caption | Text displayed below the map image | |
| pushpin | Specify one of three pre-defined marker images to be displayed on the location map. | pushpin=red for  (default) pushpin=green for  pushpin=lighthouse for 
|
| pushpin_label_position | To add a label next to the pushpin, use a value of top, bottom,left, or right. The default value is none. | pushpin_label_position=top pushpin_label_position=bottom pushpin_label_position=left pushpin_label_position=right
|
Other parameter usage
[మార్చు]Parameters left blank will not be shown. All of the parameters are text fields so you can, for example
- list in a span of years:
yeardeactivated = 1952–1980 - provide explanation:
yearlit = 1880 (current tower) - give more than one answer:
fogsignal = Bell (1880)<br />Horn 1 every 20s (1915)
| Parameter | Usage | Example(s) |
|---|---|---|
| yearbuilt | usually the year the light first built (construction completed) | |
| yearlit | usually the year the present, or last structure was lit | |
| automated | the year it was automated | |
| yeardeactivated | If the light is no longer in service, list the year it was last working. List a span of years using an en-dash. |
taken offline in 1952, and later dismantled in 1960: | yeardeactivated = 1952Decommissioned in 1952, re-established in 1980: | yeardeactivated = 1952–1980
|
| foundation | the material of the foundation | |
| construction | the material of the structure | |
| shape | the shape of the structure (Cylindrical, conical, pyramidal, etc.) | |
| marking | color or other distinctive marks | |
| height | the total height of the structure above its foundation | Old Point Loma lighthouse: tower height: 46 ft | focalheight = {{convert|46|ft|m}}
|
| lightsource | the source of illumination | |
| focalheight | the height of the actual light source above mean sea level. When a navigator's light list simply shows a value for 'height', that should be entered here. Focal height is important for navigation, to help mariners estimate their actual distance from the light under different visibility conditions. | Old Point Loma lighthouse: height of focal plane: 462 ft. | focalheight = {{convert|462|ft|m}}
(this is the tower height, plus the elevation of the foundation above mean sea level, less the distance between the bulb and the top of the lantern) |
| elevation | Deprecated; DO NOT USE. See 'focalheight'. | |
| lens | the type of lens originally used in the light, usually a Fresnel lens. | |
| currentlens | the lens now in use. In the USA most of the Fresnel lenses have been replaced by modern optics such as the VRB-25. | |
| intensity | Candlepower. | |
| range | the distance at which the light can be seen. If the light has colors, there will be several ranges, one for each color. It's usually given in nautical miles (USCG, NGA, and Admiralty light lists, at least). | Baltimore Harbor Light: white=7 miles, red=5 miles: | range=W {{convert|7|mi|km|1}}, R {{convert|5|mi|km|0}}
|
| characteristic | the pattern of flashes, given in the light list. Please use shorthand – see Light characteristic for examples and explanation. | White, flashing every 7.5 seconds: | characteristic = Fl W 7.5s Green, occulting every 4 seconds: | characteristic = Oc G 4s
|
| fogsignal | the type and frequency of any fog signal (Bell, horn, etc.), also given in the light list. | Horn, one 2-second blast every 15 seconds: | fogsignal = HORN: 1 blast ev 15s (2s bl)
|
| racon | the letter shown if there is a Racon. Not too many lights have one, but if it does, it will be listed in the Light List. | Chesapeake Light: | racon = N (– •)
|
| admiralty | the number in the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office's Admiralty Digital List of Lights (ADLL) (worldwide). | |
| canada | the number in the Canadian Light List (Canadian). 4 Volumes, available for download. | |
| NGA | the number in the List of Lights maintained by the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency(Note: only shows lights outside of the USA plus eastern Florida). Download the List of Lights | |
| ARLHS | the number in the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society list, available on their Directory Lookup website. | Baltimore Harbor Light: | ARLHS = USA-034
|
| USCG | the number as shown in the Light List as published by the US Coast Guard (for lighthouses in the USA). The lists are available for download in 7 volumes, each covering a different region. Both the volume number and lighthouse number should be captured here, formatted as ‘V-NNNN’.The list can easily be cited using: {{cite uscgll|volume|year|page}} |
Baltimore Harbor Light is listed as #8035 in Volume 2, page 76: | USGC = 2-8035<ref>{{cite uscgll|2|2012|76}}</ref>
|
| country | if a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name | |
| countrynumber | number according to the country's numbering system. This is mandatory if country was specified. | |
| countrylink | a (non mandatory) link to the country's list of lighthouses or the website hosting that list | |
| managingagent | the authority responsible for operating the light | |
| heritage | a description of the building's heritage status |
Using the lighthouse infobox template with the NRHP infobox template for USA lights
[మార్చు]About three quarters of United States lighthouses are on the National Register of Historic Places. It is useful in those cases to include both {{Infobox lighthouse}} and {{Infobox nrhp}} in an article. The NRHP infobox can be embedded into the lighthouse template, which makes them display at the same width. This is fully described at Template:Infobox nrhp#Embedding.
Briefly, insert the entire NRHP infobox template after the last line in the lighthouse infobox that actually has data. It's easiest if the parameters are left in the order above – then the NRHP infobox template goes after the last line that has something on the right side of the equals sign. The remaining parameter lines in the lighthouse infobox template, if any, can be deleted or left in place following the NRHP template.
Add "|embed = yes" as the second line of the NRHP infobox, immediately after {{Infobox_nrhp The result should end in }}}} (two for the lighthouse box and two for the NRHP – but see the third example below for an exception).
The insertion should look
like this: (Insert the actual NRHP name in place of ABCDE)
.
.
| fogsignal = none
| admiralty =
| canada =
| NGA =
| ARLHS =
| USCG = 1-12345
{{Infobox nrhp
|embed = yes
| name = ABCDE
.
.
}}}}
or like this
.
.
| fogsignal = none
{{Infobox nrhp
|embed = yes
| name = ABCDE
.
.
}}}}
or even like this
.
.
| fogsignal = none
{{Infobox nrhp
|embed = yes
| name = ABCDE
.
.
}} <!- the end of the NRHP infobox ->
| admiralty =
| canada =
| NGA =
| ARLHS =
| USCG =
}} <!- the end of the lighthouse infobox ->
but not like this
.
.
| fogsignal = none
| admiralty =
| canada =
| NGA =
| ARLHS =
| USCG =
{{Infobox nrhp
|embed = yes
| name = ABCDE
.
.
}}}}
The tool at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php is an easy way to create the NRHP infobox, just copy it, paste, and add "| embed = yes". You may want to edit the result a bit, as the National Register database, from which the Elkman tool gets its data, is often a little terse – saying, "COAST GUARD", where you might want "U.S. Coast Guard" and so forth.
Note that the National Register name is often a little different from the name in the article, so if your search doesn't succeed, try using just one word from it. The Elkman tool can find all uses of any word in the name, so a search on "Light" will show all lighthouses in a state and "Point" will find eleven lights in California. In cases where the name is different, you will probably want to show the NRHP name in the NRHP infobox as it clarifies that the reader is in the right place, see Doubling Point Range Lights, for example.
Microformat
[మార్చు]The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
[మార్చు]If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.
If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes
[మార్చు]hCard uses HTML classes including:
- adr
- agent
- category
- county-name
- extended-address
- fn
- label
- locality
- nickname
- note
- org
- region
- street-address
- uid
- url
- vcard
Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Precision
[మార్చు]When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
