Syntax #1: decimal degrees
Template used for geocoding Commons images and categories, providing locations of objects being photographed using degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) notation or decimal notation. See Commons:Geocoding for more information.
Most place categories should use {{Object location}} instead of camera {{Location}}. For files, camera {{Location}}s are preferred; however, in some cases object location—which indicates the position of the main subject of the photograph—makes more sense, for example when providing the location of a painting or sheet music. It can also be used to point to a nearby feature instead of giving the exact location of the main object, e.g. when you do not want to reveal the exact location of a rare plant. Object location tags do not add the picture onto the GeoCommons layer for Google maps and Google Earth, so if you know the camera location and want the picture to be shown in this layer, use the camera location tag instead.
The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Media with locations or Category:Media with erroneous locations
Usage
{{Object location |1= |2= |3= }}
Should be placed directly below {{Information}}, {{Artwork}} or other similar template. If {{Location}} template is also present then it should be placed above this template.
Template parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Latitude | Degrees of Latitude. The sign indicates hemisphere: + (North) and - (South). | empty | optional |
2 | Longitude | Degrees of Longitude. The sign indicates hemisphere: + (East) and - (West). | empty | optional |
3attributes | attributes | Information attributes - used to pass to GeoHack server metadata about the coordinates. Apart from heading, this information is not used by {{Object location}} template. Attributes have to be in the format field1:value1_field2:value2_field3:value3, etc. The following fields are supported:
| empty | optional |
wikidataWikidata | wikidata | Wikidata Q-code of an item with coordinate location (P625). Alternative to latitude and longitude. | empty | optional |
bare | "bare=1" will show only field value without field's name ("Object location") | 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. | ~0.3 meters | 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 |
