Teamplaid:Location/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Teamplaid:Location. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original teamplaid page. |
This is a family of templates used to geo-code Commons images. See Commons:Geocoding for information on how to find coordinates for your images.
- {{Location}} – used to provide camera location using degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) notation
- {{Location dec}} – used to provide camera location using decimal notation
- {{Object location}} – used to provide object location using DMS notation
- {{Object location dec}} – used to provide object location using decimal notation
- {{Globe location}} – used to provide object location on other globes, like moon, mars, etc. Uses both decimal and DMS notations.
In most cases, camera location is preferred and most images should use the first two templates. However, in some cases object location—which indicates the position of the main subject of the photograph—makes more sense, for example when providing the location of a painting or sheet music. It can also be used to point to a nearby feature instead of giving the exact location of the main object, e.g. when you do not want to reveal the exact location of a rare plant.
Those four templates output a Geo_(microformat) and add images to either Roinn-seòrsa:Media with locations or Roinn-seòrsa:Media with erroneous locations.
Object location tags do not add the picture onto the Geocommons layer for Google maps and Google Earth, so if you know the camera location and want the picture to be shown in this layer, use the camera location tag instead.
Syntax
deasaich
{{location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{location dec|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{object location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{object location dec|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Information attributes}}
{{globe location|Degree Latitude|Degree Longitude|Globe|Information attributes}}
{{globe location|Degree|Minute|Second|Latitude|Degree|Minute|Second|Longitude|Globe|Information attributes}}
Syntax examples of "Information attributes": (Don't use spaces instead of underscores!)
heading:180
region:XX-YYY_heading:45
region:XX-YYY_scale:10000_heading:SW
Don't use parameter "type", it is hardcoded as "landmark". Generally, the parameter "scale" is unadvisable, a default scale is predefined with "type".

Note that with the two templates above, you should indicate camera position and not object position. To make clear what was photographed, add the heading:xyz
parameter using degrees or direction acronyms as shown on the compass. See Commons:Geocoding#Parameters for more information.
Also note that the output of those two templates is identical despite of different inputs.
The syntax and output of {{Object location}} and {{Object location dec}} templates is the same, except for the word "Object" in the template name resulting in the use of Object Location phrase instead of Camera Location in the output.

deasaichParameter | Mandatory or Optional | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
{1} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Latitude |
{2} | Mandatory | Undefined | Minutes of Latitude |
{3} | Mandatory | Undefined | Seconds of Latitude |
{4} | Mandatory | Undefined | Latitude Direction (N or S) |
{5} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Longitude |
{6} | Mandatory | Undefined | Minutes of Longitude |
{7} | Mandatory | Undefined | Seconds of Longitude |
{8} | Mandatory | Undefined | Longitude Direction (W or E) |
{9} | Optional | type:landmark | region:XX-YYY_scale:_heading: |
Parameter | Mandatory or Optional | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
{1} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Latitude |
{2} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Longitude |
{3} | Optional | type:landmark | region:XX-YYY_scale:_heading: |
Parameter | Mandatory or Optional | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
{1} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Latitude |
{2} | Mandatory | Undefined | Degrees of Longitude |
{3} | Mandatory | Earth | Globe - Supported types: Mars, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Titan, Ganymede |
{4} | Optional | type:landmark | region:XX-YYY_scale:_heading: |
Where:
region:XX-YYY
XX
is an ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 country code abbreviation, andYYY
is a 2- or 3- characters ISO 3166-2 province/region/state code abbreviation (typically the same as a local postal code abbreviation).
type:
is a class descriptor about the object. It is defined by geohack.php and mapsources.php on ToolServer.Org and corresponding documentation can be found on en:WP:GEO. NOTE:type:landmark
is hard-coded default valuescale:
is an information about which range the image covers, given in meters (1000 is 1 kilometer). Scale is defaultly set with the parameter "type" and that's why it is unadvisable to use it at Commons.heading:
is either a compass rose point (up to four letters) or degree heading (zeropoint North, clockwise).
Translation
deasaichTo create a new language version of all four templates, create a new subpage of Teamplaid:Location, cut and paste code below and translate terms in bold letters. For some languages it might also make sence to translate optional labels written in italics.
