Template:PoIgb
{{PoIgb}} creates a collapsible points of interest table row, with links to mapping resources using the latitude/longitude WGS84 coordinates system. It includes a column for Ordnance Survey grid coordinates for use in Great Britain (outside GB, use {{PoI}}). Please supply an accurate (but not over-precise) latitude and longitude as the 2nd and 3rd parameters, and a two letter, six figure national grid reference, if known, as the 4th parameter.
Use {{PoIgb start}} as the table header row, with type=collapsed if you want the table to be initially hidden, and {{PoIgb end}} for the footer.
The template uses {{coord}}; see that page for parameters.
Copyable code
{{PoIgb start}}
{{PoIgb|}}
{{PoIgb|}}
{{PoIgb end}}
{{PoIgb start|type=collapsed}}
{{PoIgb|}}
{{PoIgb|}}
{{PoIgb end}}
Parameters
- [Title/heading] – the first parameter uses no coding name, it is for the first wording that appears in the table line and doubles as the coordinate name tag/label unless name= parameter is also used, which must be done for any hyperlink or unusual formatting here.
- Latitude – use decimal value, negative for South
- Longitude – use decimal value, negative for West
- OS Grid Ref – useful for paper maps in Great Britain (optional: computed from lat/long if empty)
- Note – optional notes you wish to include
- Deprecated
- Name to provide to coordinate interface (coord) if the 1st parameter is not the desired name, or contains Wikilinks (which break the formating of the table) if the name= parameter is not also specified. e.g. |name=Autherley Junction
Optional parameters:
|show_image=yes(any other value is ignored)- image
Example
{{PoIgb start}}
{{PoIgb|Titford Pool (south)|52.4885|-2.0215|SO986878|Hello world}}
{{PoIgb|Titford pump house, top lock, Tat Bank Branch|52.4962|-2.0090|SO994887}}
{{PoIgb end}}
Gives:
| Point | Coordinates (Links to map resources) |
OS Grid Ref | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titford Pool (south) | 52°29′19″N 2°01′17″W / 52.4885°N 2.0215°W | SO986878 | Hello world |
| Titford pump house, top lock, Tat Bank Branch | 52°29′46″N 2°00′32″W / 52.4962°N 2.0090°W | SO994887 |
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.
Display options
Pages which use multiple instances of this template, can also use {{kml}} in their External links section, to offer a variety of ways of viewing or downloading the coordinates.
