==Coordinates==
 
For coordinates, use
<pre>
  | latd = | latm = | lats = | latNS =
  | longd= | longm= | longs= | longEW=
  | coordinates_display=
</pre>
which displays linked coordinates using the {{tl|coord}} template.  <u>Example</u>: 42°01'59.23"N, 70°10'07.15"W would be entered as:
 
<pre>
  | latd  = 42
  | latm  = 1
  | lats  = 59.23
  | latNS = N
  | longd = 70
  | longm = 10
  | longs = 7.15
  | longEW = W
</pre>
 
or it can be entered in decimal notation, 42.033119, -70.168653, as:
 
<pre>
  | latd  = 42.033119
  | longd = -70.168653
</pre>
 
*coordinates_display – sets the {{tl|coord}} template display option: '''inline''' (default), '''title''' or '''inline,title'''
 
Alternatively, you can use the {{tl|coord}} template directly using the <code>coordinates =</code> option.  For example,
<pre>
| coordinates = {{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}
</pre>
 
==Pushpin map==
To add a {{tl|Location map}}, specify which map using <code>pushpin_map=</code>.  For this option to work, the coordinates must be specified using <code>latd=</code> and <code>longd=</code> (i.e. don't use <code>coordinates=</code>).
 
: <code>pushpin = red</code> for [[File:Red pog.svg|8px]] &nbsp; (default)
: <code>pushpin = green</code> for [[File:Green pog.svg|8px]]
: <code>pushpin = lighthouse</code> for [[File:Lighthouse icon shifted.svg‎|16px]]
 
To add a label next to the pushpin, use <code>pushpin_label_position =</code>, with a value of ''top'', ''bottom'',''left'', or ''right''.  The default value is ''none''.
 
==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: <code>yeardeactivated = 1952–1980</code>
*provide explanation: <code>yearlit = 1880 (current tower)</code>
*give more than one answer: <code><nowiki>fogsignal = Bell (1880)<br />Horn 1 every 20s (1915)</nowiki></code>

==Using the lighthouse infobox template with the NRHP infobox template for USA lights==
==Bespoke numbering systems==
If a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name, ID number and a link (optional) may be specified.
* {{para|country}}
* {{para|countrynumber}}
* {{para|countrylink}}


About three quarters of United States lighthouses are on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. It is useful in those cases to include both {{tl|Infobox lighthouse}} and {{tl|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]].
== Fetch wikidata==
To fetch specific fields from Wikidata (and no others) the {{para|fetchwikidata}} can be used. For example, to fetch the date of construction and the date of deactivation, use:
* {{para|fetchwikidata|constructed,yeardeactivated}}
If this parameter is not specified then all available fields will be fetched.


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.
To suppress certain fields (but fetch others), the {{para|suppressfields}} can be used. For example, to suppress the range of the lighthouse and its intensity, use:
* {{para|suppressfields|range,intensity}}
If this parameter is not specified then no fields will be suppressed.


Add "|embed = yes" as the second line of the NRHP infobox, immediately after <nowiki>{{Infobox_nrhp</nowiki> The result should end in }}}} (two for the lighthouse box and two for the NRHP – but see the third example below for an exception).
By default, the template will use the Wikidata item associated with the article. In some cases (for example, if the article is about an island but contains some information about a lighthouse on that island) you will need to specify the Wikidata Q-identifier using {{para|qid}}. For example:
The insertion should look <br>'''like this:''' (Insert the actual NRHP name in place of ABCDE)
* {{para|qid|Q28333621}}


<pre>
== Embedding other templates ==
.
The {{para|module}} parameter can be used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see [[Wikipedia:Infobox modules]]):
.
<pre style="overflow:auto">

==Coordinates==
For coordinates, use {{para|coordinates}} with {{tl|Coord}}. See the Coord template's documentation for details on usage.  For example, {{para|coordinates|{{tlf|coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display{{=}}inline,title}}}}
==Maps==
A [[Template:Mapframe|Mapframe]] map is automatically included if:
* There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item
* It has not be turned off by setting {{para|mapframe|no}}
The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map
* {{para|mapframe-zoom}} zoom level (default is {{kbd|10}})
* {{para|mapframe-width}} and {{para|mapframe-height}} for the map size (defaults are {{kbd|270}} and {{kbd|200}})
* {{para|mapframe-marker}} for the [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons|marker icon]] (default is no marker icon)
* either {{para|mapframe-marker-color}} or {{para|mapframe-marker-colour}} for the marker colour ([[hex triplet]], default is <code>#5E74F3</code>)
* {{para|mapframe-caption}} caption below the map
* {{para|mapframe-lat}} and {{para|mapframe-long}} (or {{para|mapframe-latitude}} and {{para|mapframe-longitude}}) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the lighthouse coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.


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.
== Microformat ==
{{UF-hcard-geo}}


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.

Bespoke numbering systems

If a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name, ID number and a link (optional) may be specified.

  • |country=
  • |countrynumber=
  • |countrylink=

Fetch wikidata

To fetch specific fields from Wikidata (and no others) the |fetchwikidata= can be used. For example, to fetch the date of construction and the date of deactivation, use:

  • |fetchwikidata=constructed,yeardeactivated

If this parameter is not specified then all available fields will be fetched.

To suppress certain fields (but fetch others), the |suppressfields= can be used. For example, to suppress the range of the lighthouse and its intensity, use:

  • |suppressfields=range,intensity

If this parameter is not specified then no fields will be suppressed.

By default, the template will use the Wikidata item associated with the article. In some cases (for example, if the article is about an island but contains some information about a lighthouse on that island) you will need to specify the Wikidata Q-identifier using |qid=. For example:

  • |qid=Q28333621

Embedding other templates

The |module= parameter can be used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules): 

{{Infobox lighthouse
| name = 
...
| module =
  {{Infobox example
  | embed = yes <!-- or 'child=yes' or 'subbox=yes' -->
  ...
  }}
}}

Full list

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)

}}

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

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.

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.
