Parameters

Descriptions

This table describes all parameters which can be used in build park infobox. Only the name parameter must be assigned a value.

Field name	Description
name	Required. The name of the park. 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 Hyde Park, London then name=Hyde Park.
other_name	If there is a common English name for the park use it for the name parameter. This parameter can be used to display the full name if different from name or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
native_name	name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}.
native_name_lang	ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead.
image	The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed.
image_size	Can be used to change the display width of the image. The default width is 250 pixels and maximum is 325 pixels. 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 180 pixels or less. For example, image_size=200 and not image_size=200px. This template allows image_size=frameless. See Photo display parameters below.
image_alt	Alternative text for the image, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
image_caption	The caption that will appear below the image if one is required.
Map related parameters
map_image	The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |pushpin_map=.
map_width	Can change the display width the map. The default width is 250 pixels and maximum is 272 pixels, but usually the map can be 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.
Type, Location, Motto, Nearest city
type
location	The location of the park. Don't be too precise. County, state and country are good in the USA. If the park is within a city specify the city, state and country. If the park is in multiple counties just list the state and country. For areas in other countries adjust accordingly.
motto
nearest_city nearest_town	Recommended if the area is not within a city or town. It could be a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available. Use the most appropriate parameter.
Coordinates-related parameters
grid_ref_UK	If the park is in Great Britain, the British grid reference. For parks outside of Great Britain, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present.
grid_ref_UK_note	If grid_ref_UK is used, this will add a note (e.g., for a reference) immediately after.
grid_ref_Ireland	If the park is in Ireland (whether Northern Ireland or the Republic), the Irish grid reference. For parks outside Ireland, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present.
grid_ref_UK_Ireland	If grid_ref_Ireland is used, this will add a note (e.g., for a reference) immediately after.
coordinates	For the {{coord}} template. The parameters |format=dms and |display=inline,title are recommended. Its coordinates can be used with the location map. (Unless a value for type: is provided, the template will automatically use type:landmark. See the {{Coord}} page for more info.)
coords_ref	Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.
Other parameters
area	Area of the protected park. 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.
elevation	Elevation of the park if it is noteworthy. The {{convert}} template should be used.
authorized created established designated opened opening	The date the park was created. See below. Use {{start date}}. For example, for Yosemite National Park, use {{start date|1890|10|1}}.
closed	The date of closure or disestablishment, if applicable.
founder	The person who founded the park or garden.
designer	The person who designed the park or garden.
etymology	The etymology of parks name. Should be very brief or only included in the text of the article.

Map display methods

Pushpin map

Below are the parameters used by Module:Location map to produce the pushpin map in this Infobox. These parameters are available for editors to set in articles that use this infobox.

Parameter	Description	Default
|pushpin_map=	The map(s) to display. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England.Multiple maps can be shown by providing a list of map names separated by #. For multiple maps, the first is shown by default. A reader can select the others with radio buttons.	N/A
|pushpin_caption=	The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. If not provided a default caption will be generated. Multiple captions can be shown when separated by ## (that's two).	Location within MAPNAME
|pushpin_relief=	0/false/off will cause the template to display the map defined as image (generally not a relief map). 1/true/on will cause the template to display the map defined as image1 (generally a relief map). Any non-zero numeric value such as 2 or 3 will display image2 or image3, if those images are defined. Any other non-empty value will cause display of image1. See the example at Location map+/relief.	1
|pushpin_label=	The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a wikilink can be used. You can enclose the label inside of {{nowrap}} if you want to make sure that it stays on a single line.	N/A
|pushpin_label_size=	The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100=smaller, >100=larger); the default size is 90. Do not include %. For example, use |pushpin_label_size=80, not |pushpin_label_size=80%. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark.	90
|pushpin_label_position=	The position of the label relative to the identifying mark; valid values are left, right, top, bottom and none. This defaults to either left or right, depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image. When |pushpin_label_position=none, any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption.	N/A
|pushpin_mark=	The name of an image file to display as the identifying mark; the default is Red pog.svg . See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.	Red pog.svg
|pushpin_mark_size=	The size of the identifying mark in pixels. Do not include px	8
|pushpin_alt=	Alt text for map; used by screen readers. See WP:ALT.	N/A
|pushpin_background=	The background color to use for the label; see Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.	N/A
|pushpin_map_size=	Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values; do not include px.	N/A

Mapframe parameters

• Basic {{Infobox mapframe}} parameters:

  • mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
  • mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified

  • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
    • auto – switch geomasks found in (P276) and (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
    • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
    • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
