Parameters
All fields except for name, format, and owner are optional and will be hidden when not used; when values are entered for the relevant parameters, the fields will automatically appear.
The parameters translator and repeater should not both be used, except in unusual circumstances.
Sub-templates
Where possible, use:
- {{Frequency}}
 - {{Start date}}
 - {{Coord}}
 - {{URL}}
 
as above.
Microformat
The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE.
If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes
hCard uses HTML classes including:
- adr
 - agent
 - category
 - county-name
 - extended-address
 - fn
 - label
 - locality
 - nickname
 - note
 - org
 - region
 - street-address
 - uid
 - url
 - vcard
 
Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- geo
 - latitude
 - longitude
 
Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Precision
When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
TemplateData
See the monthly error report for this template.
