Coordinates
For coordinates, use |coordinates= with {Coord}. See the Coord template's documentation for details on usage. For example, |coordinates={coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}
Maps
Mapframe map
A Mapframe map is automatically included if:
- There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item
- It has not be turned off by setting
|mapframe=no
The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map
|mapframe-zoom=zoom level (default is 10)|mapframe-width=and|mapframe-height=for the map size (defaults are 270 and 200)|mapframe-marker=for the marker icon (default is no marker icon)- either
|mapframe-marker-color=or|mapframe-marker-colour=for the marker colour (hex triplet, default is#5E74F3) |mapframe-caption=caption below the map|mapframe-lat=and|mapframe-long=(or|mapframe-latitude=and|mapframe-longitude=) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the lighthouse coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.
Pushpin map
To add a {Location map}, specify the map using |pushpin_map=.
| Parameter | Usage | Example(s) |
|---|---|---|
| pushpin_map | The name of the map to be displayed. | |pushpin_map=France|pushpin_map=[Module:Location map/data/USA Florida
|
| pushpin_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. | |pushpin_relief=yes|pushpin_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
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) |
| 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 7.5sGreen, 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} |
Baltimore Harbor Light is listed as #8035 in Volume 2, page 76: |
| 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 | |
| fetchwikidata | use and leave blank to turn off Wikidata values[further explanation needed] |

Microformat
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
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
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
When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {coord}'s |name= parameter.
