Template:Coord missing
This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates) and is easily converted, by adding them, into {{coord}}.
Usage[change source]
{{Coord missing|region name}}
The region name is either a country name or a smaller area, such as a state or province. Where a particular country cannot be identified, use the continent name.
The template should be removed when coordinates are added to the article.
Pages will this template are added to Category:Articles needing coordinates.
Adding coordinates[change source]
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. |
