Syntax #1: decimal degrees
Template used for geocoding Commons images, providing camera location using decimal or degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) syntax. See Commons:Geocoding for more information.
{{Location}} = {{Camera location}} is the main template of the {{Object location}} and {{Globe location}} family and is supposed to be used to define the coordinates and heading of the location of the camera.
The template automatically sets the following categories: Depending on namespace:
- Category:Media with locations (for files)
- Category:Galleries with coordinates (for galleries)
- Category:Categories with coordinates (for categories)
In case of errors:
- Category:Media with default locations (set by the template in case of lat=0 and lon=0 coordinates)
- Category:Media with erroneous locations (set by the template for other issues)
- Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags (set by {{#coordinates:}})

- Category:Pages with local coordinates and similar Wikidata coordinates
- Category:Pages with local object coordinates and missing Wikidata coordinates
- Category:Pages with local object coordinates and mismatching Wikidata coordinates
Usage
{{Globe location |1= |2= |3= }}
Should be placed directly above or below {{Information}}, {{Artwork}} or other similar template.
Note: some users prefer to include location template(s) into the "Description" field of {{Information}} template to group all location information – objections contend that graphic design is not ideally adjusted for such use. See this and this discussion.
Template parameters
Parameter | Description | Default | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Latitude | Degrees of Latitude. The sign indicates hemisphere: (North) and -(South). DMS format is also allowed, for example 50° 37′ 50.63″ N . | empty | optional |
2 | Longitude | Degrees of Longitude. The sign indicates hemisphere: (East) and -(West). DMS format is also allowed, for example 6° 01′ 57.61″ E . | empty | optional |
3 attributes | attributes | Information attributes - used to pass to GeoHack server metadata about the coordinates. Apart from heading , this information is not used by {{Globe location}} template. Attributes have to be in the format field1:value1_field2:value2_field3:value3 , etc. The following fields are supported:
| empty | optional |
wikidata Wikidata | wikidata | Wikidata Q-code of an item with coordinate location (P625). Alternative to latitude and longitude. | empty | optional |
bare | bare | "bare=1" will show only field value without field's name ("Object location") | empty | optional |
secondary | secondary | secondary=1 will tag this set of coordinates as secondary. This template calls {{#coordinates:}} parser function, one of the parameters of which is primary vs. secondary label. Primary coordinates define file's camera location and are the default, but each file can only have single primary location tag. | empty | optional |
prec | precision | By default the georeference precision is about 0.3 meters or 1/100 of a second on the equator. To show less digits add parameter "prec" with a measurement precisions expressed in meters. For example 40 meter uncertainty would be expressed as "prec=40". At the moment this parameter only affects the display of the coordinates. | 0.3 | optional |
lang | language | language code (only needs to be provided if the language shall be fixed and independent from the user's preferences) | language code of the user language ({{int:Lang}}) | optional |

Syntax #2a: Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (DMS) symbols
It is possible to use the output format (of e.g. Location, or Wikimapia) as the input for Location:
The DMS data string can be converted from the symbol format
e.g. {{ Globe location | 1 = 34°01′27.37″N 116°09′29.88″W | ... }}
to the above DMS format; all the other parameters also like above.
Additional spaces or commas won't matter.
