For coordinates, use

  | latd = | latm = | lats = | latNS =
  | longd= | longm= | longs= | longEW=
  | coordinates_display=
  | coordinates_type=

which displays linked coordinates using the साँचा:tl template. Example: 42°01'59.23"N, 70°10'07.15"W would be entered as:

  | latd  = 42
  | latm  = 1
  | lats  = 59.23
  | latNS = N
  | longd = 70
  | longm = 10
  | longs = 7.15
  | longEW = W

or it can be entered in decimal notation, 42.033119, -70.168653, as:

  | latd  = 42.033119 
  | longd = -70.168653

• coordinates_display – sets the साँचा:tl template display option: inline (default), title or inline,title
• coordinates_type – by default, type:landmark is used. This parameter allows that to be overridden

Alternatively, you can use the साँचा:tl template directly using the coordinates = option. For example,

| coordinates = {{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}

Pushpin map

To add a साँचा:tl, specify which map using pushpin_map=. For this option to work, the coordinates must be specified using latd= and longd= (i.e. don't use coordinates=).

Parameter	Usage	Example(s)
pushpin_map	The name of the map to be displayed.	pushpin_map=France pushpin_map=USA Florida
relief	Any non-blank value will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter.	relief=yes relief=1
pushpin_mapsize	Width to display the map image in pixels. The default is 240.	pushpin_mapsize=200 (not pushpin_mapsize=200px)
pushpin_map_alt	Alternative text for the map image, see WP:ALT.
pushpin_map_caption	Text displayed below the map image
pushpin	Specify one of three pre-defined marker images to be displayed on the location map.	pushpin=red for   (default) pushpin=green for pushpin=lighthouse for
pushpin_label_position	To add a label next to the pushpin, use a value of top, bottom,left, or right. The default value is none.	pushpin_label_position=top pushpin_label_position=bottom pushpin_label_position=left pushpin_label_position=right

Other parameter usage

Parameters left blank will not be shown. All of the parameters are text fields so you can, for example

• list in a span of years: yeardeactivated = 1952–1980
• provide explanation: yearlit = 1880 (current tower)
• give more than one answer: fogsignal = Bell (1880)<br />Horn 1 every 20s (1915)

Parameter	Usage	Example(s)
yearbuilt	usually the year the light first built (construction completed)
yearlit	usually the year the present, or last structure was lit
automated	the year it was automated
yeardeactivated	If the light is no longer in service, list the year it was last working. List a span of years using an en-dash.	taken offline in 1952, and later dismantled in 1960:   | yeardeactivated = 1952 Decommissioned in 1952, re-established in 1980:   | yeardeactivated = 1952–1980
foundation	the material of the foundation
construction	the material of the structure
shape	the shape of the structure (Cylindrical, conical, pyramidal, etc.)
marking	color or other distinctive marks
height	the total height of the structure above its foundation	Old Point Loma lighthouse: tower height: 46 ft   | focalheight = {{convert|46|ft|m}}
lightsource	the source of illumination
focalheight	the height of the actual light source above mean sea level. When a navigator's light list simply shows a value for 'height', that should be entered here. Focal height is important for navigation, to help mariners estimate their actual distance from the light under different visibility conditions.	Old Point Loma lighthouse: height of focal plane: 462 ft.   | focalheight = {{convert|462|ft|m}} (this is the tower height, plus the elevation of the foundation above mean sea level, less the distance between the bulb and the top of the lantern)
elevation	Deprecated; DO NOT USE. See 'focalheight'.
lens	the type of lens originally used in the light, usually a Fresnel lens.
currentlens	the lens now in use. In the USA most of the Fresnel lenses have been replaced by modern optics such as the VRB-25.
intensity	Candlepower.
range	the distance at which the light can be seen. If the light has colors, there will be several ranges, one for each color. It's usually given in nautical miles (USCG, NGA, and Admiralty light lists, at least).	Baltimore Harbor Light: white=7 miles, red=5 miles:   | range=W {{convert|7|mi|km|1}}, R {{convert|5|mi|km|0}}
characteristic	the pattern of flashes, given in the light list. Please use shorthand – see Light characteristic for examples and explanation.	White, flashing every 7.5 seconds:   | characteristic = Fl W 7.5s Green, occulting every 4 seconds:   | characteristic = Oc G 4s
fogsignal	the type and frequency of any fog signal (Bell, horn, etc.), also given in the light list.	Horn, one 2-second blast every 15 seconds:   | fogsignal = HORN: 1 blast ev 15s (2s bl)
racon	the letter shown if there is a Racon. Not too many lights have one, but if it does, it will be listed in the Light List.	Chesapeake Light:   | racon = N (– •)
admiralty	the number in the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office's Admiralty Digital List of Lights (ADLL) (worldwide).
canada	the number in the Canadian Light List (Canadian). 4 Volumes, available for download.
NGA	the number in the List of Lights maintained by the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency(Note: only shows lights outside of the USA plus eastern Florida). Download the List of Lights
ARLHS	the number in the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society list, available on their Directory Lookup website.	Baltimore Harbor Light:   | ARLHS = USA-034
USCG	the number as shown in the Light List as published by the US Coast Guard (for lighthouses in the USA). The lists are available for download in 7 volumes, each covering a different region. Both the volume number and lighthouse number should be captured here, formatted as ‘V-NNNN’. The list can easily be cited using: {{cite uscgll|volume|year|page}}	Baltimore Harbor Light is listed as #8035 in Volume 2, page 76:   | USGC = 2-8035<ref>{{cite uscgll|2|2012|76}}</ref>
country	if a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name
countrynumber	number according to the country's numbering system. This is mandatory if country was specified.
countrylink	a (non mandatory) link to the country's list of lighthouses or the website hosting that list
managingagent	the authority responsible for operating the light
heritage	a description of the building's heritage status

USA lights

About three quarters of United States lighthouses are on the National Register of Historic Places. It is useful in those cases to include both साँचा:tl and साँचा:tl in an article. The NRHP infobox can be embedded into the lighthouse template, which makes them display at the same width. This is fully described at Template:Infobox nrhp#Embedding.

Briefly, insert the entire NRHP infobox template inside this infobox's module parameter. Do not leave a blank like between the equals sign and the opening braces, as this will increase the spacing between the table cells.

Add "|embed = yes" as the second line of the NRHP infobox, immediately after {{Infobox_nrhp The result should end in }}}} (two for the lighthouse box and two for the NRHP – but see the second example below for an exception). The insertion should look
like this: (Insert the actual NRHP name in place of ABCDE)

.
.
  | fogsignal = none
  | admiralty =
  | canada =
  | NGA =
  | ARLHS =
  | USCG = 1-12345
  | module = {{Infobox nrhp
  |embed = yes
  | name = ABCDE
.
.
}}}}

or like this

.
.
  | fogsignal = none
  | module = {{Infobox nrhp
  |embed = yes
  | name = ABCDE
.
.
}} <!- the end of the NRHP infobox ->
  | admiralty =
  | canada =
  | NGA =
  | ARLHS =
  | USCG =
}} <!- the end of the lighthouse infobox ->

but not like this

.
.
  | fogsignal = none
  | admiralty =
  | canada =
  | NGA =
  | ARLHS =
  | USCG =
{{Infobox nrhp
  |embed = yes
  | name = ABCDE
.
.
}}}}

The tool at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php is an easy way to create the NRHP infobox, just copy it, paste, and add "| embed = yes". You may want to edit the result a bit, as the National Register database, from which the Elkman tool gets its data, is often a little terse – saying, "COAST GUARD", where you might want "U.S. Coast Guard" and so forth.

Note that the National Register name is often a little different from the name in the article, so if your search doesn't succeed, try using just one word from it. The Elkman tool can find all uses of any word in the name, so a search on "Light" will show all lighthouses in a state and "Point" will find eleven lights in California. In cases where the name is different, you will probably want to show the NRHP name in the NRHP infobox as it clarifies that the reader is in the right place, see Doubling Point Range Lights, for example.

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 an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use साँचा:tl unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use साँचा:tl.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling साँचा:tl, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

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 साँचा:tl's साँचा:para parameter.
