Parameter descriptions

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

Field name	Description
`name`	Required. The official name of the beach. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example if the article title is Mount Washington (New Hampshire) then `name=Mount Washington`.
`alt_name`	If there is a common English name for the area use for the `name` parameter. This parameter can be used to display the name in the local language or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
`iucn_category`	Strongly recommended. The IUCN category associated with the beach. Valid values are Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, or VI. See IUCN Categories.
`photo`	The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed.
`photo_width`	Can be used to change the display width the image. The default and maximum value is 283px. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180px or 220px. For example `photo_width=200` and not `photo_width=200px`.
`photo_alt`	Alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
`photo_caption`	The caption that will appear below the image if one is required.
`map`	The name of the map to be displayed. See Map display methods.
`map_width`	Can change the display width of the map. The default and maximum width is 283px, but usually the map should be much smaller. For example `map_width=200` and not `map_width=200px`.
`map_alt`	Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT.
`map_caption`	The caption that appears below the map if one is required.
`relief`	Selects a relief map when assigned any value. . This is not functional when using the XY method for map display. See Map display methods.
`x` `y`	Specifies the position of the location marker on some types of maps when the XY method for map display is used. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See below.
`label`	A text message that will be displayed next to the marker. Works with `label_position` below.
`label_position`	Specifies the position of a label with respect to the marker. This is not functional when using the XY method for map display. It must be assigned a value or the label will not display. Valid values are `left`, `right`, `top` and `bottom`. See `label` above.
`mark`	The image to use for the marker. Default = Red pog.svg, unless `map=us locator blank.svg` in which case the default = Green pog.svg. See Template:Infobox_map#Marks for more information.
`marker_size`	The display width of the marker image in pixels. Default = 8.
`location`	The location of the beach. Don't be too precise. County, state and country are good in the USA. If the area is within a city specify the city, state and country. If the area is in multiple counties just list the state and country. For areas in other countries adjust accordingly.
`nearest_city`	Recommended if the area is not within a city. It could be a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available.
`coords`	For the {{Coord}} template. Will not generate a location marker if a map is used. See below. When this option is used the `type`, `region`, `scale`, `source`, `format` and `display` parameters are not functional but this data can be entered in the Coord template. The defaults should be `type:landmark` and `display:inline,title`.
`lat_d`	The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
`lat_m`	The minutes of latitude.
`lat_s`	The seconds of latitude.
`lat_NS`	N if north of the equator, S if south of the equator. Other values will be disregarded.
`long_d`	The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
`long_m`	The minutes of longitude.
`long_s`	The seconds of longitude.
`long_EW`	E if East of the prime meridian, W if west of the prime meridian. Other values will be disregarded.
`coords_ref`	Can be used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using `<ref>...</ref>` tags.
`type`	Type is one way to specify the scale of maps generated by external map websites. See type for valid values. The default value is `landmark`. If no type is appropriate consider using the `scale` parameter below.
`scale`	Determines the zoom factor for external map websites. See scale. The value is 1:10,000 for the default type which is `landmark`. Using `scale=50000` will change the zoom to 1:50,000.
`region`	A country code. See ISO 3166-2:US, ISO 3166-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. For example US-OR is the code for Oregon. This computer readable code is recommended. It will not be displayed. See region.
`source`	Source of the coordinate data. See source. For example GNIS or NGS, etc. It will not be displayed. Not all possible values are recognized.
`format`	Determines the format of the coordinates displayed. Valid values are `dms` for degrees, minutes and seconds, and `dec` for decimal degrees. The default value is `dms`.
`display`	Determines where the coordinates will be displayed. Valid values are `inline` and `inline,title` and their variants. The default is `inline,title` and is recommended.
`area`	Area of the beach. Usually in acres or square miles for US locations and hectares or square kilometres elsewhere. The {{Convert}} template should be used. Very small areas might be specified in square feet, square yards or square metres.
`authorized created established designated`	The date the beach was created. See below. Use {{Start date}}. For example, for Yosemite National Park, use {{Start date\|1890\|10\|1}}.
`visitation_num`	The number of visitors in a recent year if known.
`visitation_year`	The year during which the number of visitors was counted.
`visitation_ref`	Used with the visitation parameters above. Highly recommended. Specify the a citation for the visitation data using `<ref>...</ref>` tags.
`governing_body administrator owner`	The agency or organization which controls or owns the beach. See below.
`world_heritage_site`	The year the beach was designated a World Heritage Site. Few areas have this designation. If the article uses {{Infobox World Heritage Site}} then this parameter should not be used.
`url`	The full URL of the official website with no formatting. For example: `http://www.example.org/`.

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 World Commission on beachs article,

IUCN category Ia (strict nature reserve)

IUCN category Ib (wilderness area)

IUCN category II (national park)

IUCN category III (natural monument or feature)

IUCN category IV (habitat/species management area)

IUCN category V (protected landscape/seascape)

IUCN category VI (protected area with sustainable use of natural resources)

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.

beachs 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.

authorized → Authorized

created → Created

designated → Designated

established → Established

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.

governing_body → Governing body

administrator → Administrator

owner → Owner

Map display methods

Any image of a map showing the location of the beach can be used. There are two methods by which maps using a marker can be displayed.

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

A marker can be superimposed on one of a set of special map templates. If a valid map name is specified this is the method the template will attempt to use. To display a marker the geographic coordinates must be specified using the parameters lat_d, long_d, etc. The marker will not be displayed if the {{coord}} template is used. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters for 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/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 the for Alberta, Canada is Location map Canada Alberta. In this case specify map=Canada Alberta. For example:

{{Infobox beach
 | name           = Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park
 | iucn_category  = III
 | map            = Canada Alberta
 | map_alt        = Located in south central Alberta, which is in western Canada.
 | map_caption    = Map of Alberta, Canada
 | map_width      = 175
 | location       = [[Alberta, Canada|Alberta]], [[Canada]]
 | nearest_city   = [[Three Hills, Alberta|Three Hills]] and [[Red Deer, Alberta|Red Deer]]
 | coordinates    = {{coord|51.9438889|-112.9636110|region:CA}}
 | area           = {{convert|34.5|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}
 | established    = {{start date|1970|12|15}}
 | governing_body = [[Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture]]
 | display        = inline
}}

Many of the maps for large areas in this set of templates use equirectangular projection. Large scale maps, using this projection, look different than those with which most are familiar. However, there are some large area maps that that use a familiar map projection. A list of large area maps that do not use equirectangular projection can be found here.

**Three examples of maps of the United States**
Equirectangular projection	USA Equidistant conic projection	USA Equidistant conic projection with shaded relief

To use the USA shaded relief map use map=USA and relief=1 or use map=USA relief. Other relief maps are available. See Category:Location relief map by country templates

Display a marker on any map image

To display a marker on any map use the x and y parameters.

The values for the x and y parameters are the pixel coordinates of the location mark when the image is scaled to a width of 1000 pixels.

x is the pixel offset for the mark from the left edge of an image 1000px wide.

y is the pixel offset for the mark from the top edge of an image 1000px wide.

There are at least two ways of obtaining these values:

Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in a graphics editor, such as GIMP or XnView. Scale (resize) the image to a width of 1000px and then note the x, y coordinates when the mouse cursor points to the desired location. Use these values directly.
Download the image from the image's file page to your computer. Open the image in any image viewer that displays the coordinates of the cursor position, such as Paint from Microsoft. Note the X, Y coordinates when the mouse cursor points to the location. Then:

.mw-parser-output .sfrac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .sfrac.tion,.mw-parser-output .sfrac .tion{display:inline-block;vertical-align:-0.5em;font-size:85%;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .sfrac .num{display:block;line-height:1em;margin:0.0em 0.1em;border-bottom:1px solid}.mw-parser-output .sfrac .den{display:block;line-height:1em;margin:0.1em 0.1em}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}1000 · x'/w = x

and

1000 \cdot y' / w = y

where

x'

and

y'

are the mouse cursor coordinates,

w

is the width of the image displayed on your computer and

x

and

y

are the values to assign to the x and y parameters.

These computed coordinates are relative and will work even if the width of the image displayed in an article is changed by another user. Using simple pixel coordinate values would not have this advantage. Note that Wikipedia does not allow the aspect ratio of an image to be altered.

In the example below the marker is 7.8% of the way across the map from the left side and 29% of the way down from the top.
