Mapframe map

A Mapframe map is automatically included if:

There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item
It has not been turned off by setting |mapframe=no
Either another type of map has not been set, or |mapframe=yes is set

The following parameters are available for adjusting the mapframe map: Template:Infobox mapframe/doc/parameters

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: Template:Flatlist/microformat

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Template:Flatlist/microformat

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.
