| This template may have no transclusions, because this template is used by
mw:GeoHack
to display maps on pages linked from, but outside of, the English Wikipedia. The GeoTemplate family of templates is used by
{{
coord
}}
links on articles about places on Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies. See
{{
Surface features of space objects
}}
for links to many such articles..

See
mw:GeoHack
for more information about the GeoTemplate family of templates and how they are used.
The HTML markup produced by this template emits an
Geo microformat
, which makes the location's
coordinates
(latitude & longitude)
parsable
, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map. As yet,
the standard for doing this
for off-world bodies is still under development, but is supported in some microformat parsers (e.g.
Swignition
). For more information about the use of
microformats
on Wikipedia, please see
the microformat project
.
Geo is usually produced by calling
{{
coord
}}
, and uses HTML classes:
- body
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes.
When giving coordinates, please don't be
overly precise
.
