แม่แบบ:Geobox

Geobox

คู่มือการใช้งานแม่แบบ

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

Parameters

A full list of the parameters available is given here.

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
• 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

Other guidelines

This general, multi-purpose geobox template may duplicate features contained in various other, more specific geography and place infobox templates (like {{Infobox settlement}} for settlements, {{Infobox protected area}} for protected areas, and {{Infobox mountain}} for mountains). Editors should not change from one to the other without good reason or broad consensus.
