Usage

Perspective

The "basic usage" templates includes selected parameters which can be used to form a completely functional infobox. The "full usage" template includes all of the extra parameters which may be added. Either can be pasted into a new article. See below for working examples.

Parameter descriptions

Perspective

This table describes all parameters which can be used in building infoboxes. Only the name parameter must be assigned a value.

Alternate parameters

A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error.

Protected areas are often created as the result of a governmental procedure. For example, in the United States, national parks are established by an act of congress, National Monuments are usually created by presidential proclamation, and wilderness areas are designated by an act of congress. National Park Service Affiliated Areas are authorized.

Some areas are privately owned, and it might be inappropriate to use the label Governing body. For example, the Aleutian World War II National Historic Area is affiliated with the National Park Service but is owned by the Ounalashka Corporation. Chimney Rock National Historic Site is operated by the Nebraska State Historical Society.

IUCN Categories

Depending on the value of the iucn_category parameter, one of the following banners will be displayed below the name. Valid values are Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V and VI. For more information read the IUCN protected area categories article. If you cannot find the correct code in a reliable source, leave blank.

IUCN category IV (habitat/species management area)
IUCN category V (protected landscape/seascape)
IUCN category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources)

Mapframe maps

  • Basic parameters:
    • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no
      • The default value of the mapframe parameter is also modified by the internal onByDefault parameter. Default: yes, unless any of the other map parameters are present: |map=, |image_map=, |map_image=
    • 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-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
    • mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – 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: not specified
    • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms 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-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
    • mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
    • mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #5CE65C
    • mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
    • mapframe-stroke-color or mapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #008000
    • 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: natural
      • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
    • mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #62AB22
    • mapframe-geomask-stroke-color or mapframe-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: Determined using {{map zoom}} based on any of the parameters: |geohack-type=, |area_sqmi=, |area_km2=, |area_ha=, |area_acre=, |length_km=, |length_mi=, |width_km=, |width_mi=
    • 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-coordinates or mapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
    • mapframe-type – Set the type of the object, with the same usage as {{coord}}. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-population – Set the population, useful with type="city", for {{Infobox dim}}. Default: not specified

Map display methods

Summarize
Perspective

Any image of a map showing the location of the protected area can be used.

Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates= parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:

List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.
Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.
Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.
Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada.

Quick Facts Four Corners, Canada, Coordinates ...
{{Infobox protected area
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|}}
}}

The {{Coord}} template has a parameter |display=inline,title which can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.
