- Copy the appropriate blank template into the edited page and fill in the fields. Do not re-use a template from another page.
- Please don't erase empty fields which might be completed later. Such empty fields are not displayed and don't hinder anything.
- Do not put multiple items into a single field, use indexed fields. Not: city = Valencia, Alicante, Murcía but city = Valencia | city1 = Alicante | city2 = Murcía
- If indexed fields are not available, use {{plainlist}}, not
<br />.
- If indexed fields are not available, use {{plainlist}}, not
- It isn't necessary to put [[ and ]] markup around anything that links to an existing article, the template does it for you. All cities in the example above will be linked to the appropriate articles. To turn off auto-linking, put the <nowiki></nowiki> tag around the text.
- Before raising a question read the documentation. Though not perfect it contains valuable information.

Field behavior
सम्पादनThere exist base fields whose output can be modified or extended by adding additional fields, these always bear the name of the base field plus the name of the additional field starting with an underscore ("_"). The additional fields are not present in the blank templates as they can be added to virtually any Geobox. Following additional fields are defined for all base fields:
- _type - for redefining the default field name, e.g. the default field name for the region field is Region, adding region_type it can be changed to display Province, Department …. N.B.: keep the text short, it is always displayed on one line, if it is too long, the left column of the geobox gets too wide.
- _note - any sort of note which is printed after the field value, it can be even a reference, though the author of Geoboxes discourages from doing so as the implementation of <ref></ref> tags is very poor. The note is printed in a bit different font, currently implemented as italics.
- _label : puts the HTML title property on the item (the text displays on hover), it's useful for hints, it can be a longer text then the _type field.
The fields that link to existing articles don't need to be put between [[ and ]] markup, this is added automatically if the page exists. However, the markup can be used when the text of the link is different from the link itself, e.g. [[Amazon|Solimões]]. To turn off auto-linking, put the <nowiki></nowiki> tag around the text, e.g. <nowiki>Cedar Lake</nowiki>.
Multiple fields
सम्पादन- Some fields might contain multiple values, these are not to be put in a single field and separated by commas but using numbered additional fields (e.g. for the country field there also exist country1, country2, country3 …. The additional "indexed" fields are usually not present in the blank templates. Usually up to 16 such fields can be used.
- When there are too many indexed fields, adding appropriate _fold = 1 parameter causes the values to be "folded" upon page load, with the "show/button" enabling the values to be shown/hidden.
- For countries and states adding appropriate _flag = 1 parameter prints a small flag in front of every country/state in the list.
Units
सम्पादनAll figures can be in either metric (default) or imperial (miles, feet etc.) units; the Geoboxes display both, automatically calculating imperial figures from metric or metric from imperial ones. Unformated numbers (i.e. without commas) must be entered, otherwise the auto-conversion produces an error. The output is "nicely" formatted. Following additional fields can be used:
- _imperial - for input in imperial/customary units
- _round - for changing the rounding precision of auto-conversion, it's the position from the decimal point to which the figure is rounded, negative values can be used when the input figure is rounded/approximate, default value is 0
- _unit - for changing the default unit, appropriate unit abbreviation should be used; the default unit for e.g. area is usually square kilometre (or square mile respectively), this can be changed to ha for hectare, acre for acre etc.
The last two additional fields are defined for every field using any units, if there is a set of similar fields, e.g. for area (area, area_land, area_water etc., the _round and _unit fields of the basic one are applied on all of them if they aren't specifically set)
Coordinates
सम्पादनCoordinates can be entered in two ways:
- in degree/minute/second format; see {{coord}} for syntax documentation
- in decimal format; see {{coord}} for syntax documentation
To change the display format, use the |format= parameter in the {{coord}} template; see {{coord}} for syntax documentation
For every location type which can be described in coordinates,
- _coordinates_type (named coordinates_type for the main location), which can be used to override the default type and region for coordinates. If coordinates_type is needed, the possible parameters are described at WP:GEO#Parameters
- If coordinates_type is not used:
- The coordinates region parameter will be set according to "country", e.g. "country = United Kingdom" will generate coordinates with "region:GB". For Canada and the United States, in addition, "state" will be used, e.g. "country = Canada" and "state = Ontario" will result in "region:CA-ON".
- The coordinates type parameter has the following default values:
- "type:city" for Geobox City|Settlement|settlement|town|Town|Village
- "type:river" for Geobox River|Stream|Creek
- "type:isle" for Geobox Island
- "type:adm1st" for Geobox Province for a series of countries where provinces are first level subdivision. For all currently undefined countries, this renders as type:state
- "type:landmark" for all other features
- For "type:city", if the value in field "population" is a number, coordinates type is set to "type:city(population)". If the population field includes text, symbols or commas, "type:city" is used instead.
- If coordinates_type is not used:
The _type field can be defined for every location with coordinates separately or by the general coordinates_type field.
coordinates_note can be used with coordinates to provide a note or reference.
Please be sensible when setting the coordinates, tenths or hundredths of seconds mean unnecessary centimeter precision.
Maps
सम्पादनThe map field should be used for a location map of the feature, i.e. where it is located within a country. The location map can be of three types:
- Self-contained location map, as in Greater Fatra, for example.
- Semi-automated locator dot. The map field contains background map, whereas locator_x and locator_y contain relative coordinates of the locator dot (as a percent of the map width, inserted without the % symbol), this system can be used when the map is not (or cannot be) calibrated for the automated locator dot.
- Fully automated locator dot. If coordinates of the location are defined in the Geobox and a calibrated map exists, the locator dot is placed automatically based on the coordinates (pushpin_map field defines the appropriate calibrated location map), as in Fossil Creek, for example.
Geobox layout
सम्पादन- geobox_width - width of the Geobox in pixels (without px, just the figure), it can be used when there are more Geoboxes or images stacked below each other and the same width is desirable; not in blank templates.
