قالب:Geobox

Template documentation[قالب:Geobox/doc] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

These geoboxes were created:

• To provide a means for creating consistently-formatted tables and summarizing information
• To improve navigation between articles within closely-related subjects
• To maximize the ease of creating and upgrading infoboxes
• To improve the ease of transferring information to other language Wikipedias by using standardized, database-like fields

Usage

See Template:Geobox/sample.

Features

• no need to format the input data in any way; it is handled by the template
• automated locator dot placement on maps, based on coordinates or X/Y values
• automated unit conversion from metric to imperial or reverse
• automated wikilinking
• additional fields
• automated country and state flags
• background maps
• foldable list on all multiple fields
• international categories, (e.g., World Heritage Site), eliminating the need for a second infobox on the same page
