Map and coordinates

• The location map uses the value of the |coordinates= parameter. It was previously necessary to use individual parameters for latitude and longitude, but the format was obsoleted by an RfC in August 2016 (see Help:Coordinates in infoboxes).
• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2orISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the country= and borough= parameters. This can be overridden by specifying region:XXorregion:XX-ABC in the unnamed parameter after the coordinate values.

{{Infobox station
...
| coordinates         = <!-- {{Coord}} template -->
| map_type            = <!-- Location from Location map. -->
| map_overlay         = <!-- Overlay image file name, to be placed on top of the main map. Should have the same border coordinates. -->
| AlternativeMap      = <!-- Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates. -->
| map_alt             = <!-- Alternative text for map image, see [[WP:ALT]] -->
| map_caption         = <!-- Map caption; for no caption leave it blank; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" -->

| map_label_position  = <!-- Override automatic label positioning; valid values are left, right, top, bottom, or none -->
...
}}

Mapframes

This template supports mapframes. Parameter instructions:

• Basic parameters:
  • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default:no
  • mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
  • mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, the subsequent mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-idoridorqid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
  • mapframe-coordinatesormapframe-coordorcoordinatesorcoord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata
  • mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show shape/line features from the wikidata item, if any, when |coord= is set. Default: not specified
• Customise which features are displayed:
  • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: automatically determined by the instance of (P31) value on Wikidata, if available
  • mapframe-switcher – set to autoorgeomasksorzooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
    • auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
    • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
    • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
• Other optional parameters:
  • mapframe-frame-widthormapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
  • mapframe-frame-heightormapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
  • mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
  • mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
  • mapframe-stroke-colorormapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
  • mapframe-stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features; default is "5". Default:5
  • mapframe-marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: automatically determined by the instance of (P31) value on Wikidata, if available
    • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
  • mapframe-marker-colorormapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-colorormapframe-geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default:2
  • mapframe-geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
  • mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
  • mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default:10
  • mapframe-length_km or mapframe-length_mi or mapframe-area_km2 or mapframe-area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified
  • mapframe-frame-coordinatesormapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates

External style template

An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=DB-IC will use the {{DB-IC style}} template.

For systems which have an Adjacent stations module defined the |style2= parameter may be used to specify a sub-style within that system. For example, |style2=Amtrak old used with |style=Amtrak will return the pre-Acela Amtrak heritage colors from Module:Adjacent stations/Amtrak.

Embedding other infoboxes

The |embedded=or|nrhp= parameters can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{infobox designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

Old parameters

Obsolete / Unsupported

The following parameters have been obsoleted and will no longer function:

• baggage_check – Whether bags can be checked
• facilities – generic facilities parameter; use more specific parameters where possible
• gates – Type (or presence) of ticket barriers/ gates

• local_authority – Local authority or council covering the station
• map
• map dot label
• Melway

• smartcardstatus – "Yes" if smart card is available, or a date (or other information) if available in the future (see Union (TTC) for an example)
• station_type
• travelcentre – Whether there is a travel advice centre
• iso_region

Deprecated

The following parameters are deprecated and may be removed in the future:

• ADA – If any text is placed here a universal symbol for accessibility will appear
• map_image – Allows inclusion of an image of the station location on a map (only use when a mapframe or a location map is not appropriate).

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.
