Map and coordinates

The location map uses the value of the |coordinates= parameter. It was previously necessary to use individual parameters for latitude and longitude, but the format was obsoleted by an RfC in August 2016 (see Help:Coordinates in infoboxes).
The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the country= and borough= parameters. This can be overridden by specifying region:XX or region:XX-ABC in the unnamed parameter after the coordinate values.

{{Infobox station
...
| coordinates         = <!-- {{Coord}} template -->
| map_type            = <!-- Location from Location map. -->
| map_overlay         = <!-- Overlay image file name, to be placed on top of the main map. Should have the same border coordinates. -->
| AlternativeMap      = <!-- Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates. -->
| map_alt             = <!-- Alternative text for map image, see [[WP:ALT]] -->
| map_caption         = <!-- Map caption; for no caption leave it blank; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" -->
| map_size            = <!-- Width of map -->
| map_dot_label       = <!-- Text to be displayed next to dot on map image -->
| map_label_position  = <!-- Override automatic label positioning; valid values are left, right, top, bottom, or none -->
...
}}

External style template

An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=Amtrak will use the {{Amtrak style}} template.

Parameter	Description
name_format	Formatting the station name in Infobox station
thcolor	Font color for table headings in Infobox station
thbgcolor	Background color for table headings in Infobox station

Embedding other infoboxes

The embedded= parameter can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

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 "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates 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.
