Example: 42°01'59.23"N, 70°10'07.15"W would be entered as:    | latd  = 42   | latm  = 1   | lats  = 59.23   | latNS = N   | longd = 70   | longm = 10   | longs = 7.15   | longEW = W  or it can be entered in decimal notation, 42.033119, -70.168653, as:    | latd  = 42.033119   | longd = -70.168653  coordinates_display – sets the  template display option: inline (default), title or inline,title  Alternatively, you can use the  template directly using the coordinates = option.  For example, | coordinates = {{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}  Pushpin map To add a , specify which map using pushpin_map=.  For this option to work, the coordinates must be specified using latd= and longd= (i.e. don't use coordinates=).   Parameter Usage Example(s) pushpin_map The name of the map to be displayed. pushpin_map=France  pushpin_map=USA Florida relief Any non-blank value will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter. relief=yes   relief=1 pushpin_mapsize Width to display the map image in pixels. The default is 240. pushpin_mapsize=200   (not pushpin_mapsize=200px) pushpin_map_alt Alternative text for the map image, see WP:ALT. pushpin_map_caption Text displayed below the map image pushpin Specify one of three pre-defined marker images to be displayed on the location map. pushpin=red for 8px   (default)  pushpin=green for 8px   pushpin=lighthouse for 32px pushpin_label_position To add a label next to the pushpin, use a value of top, bottom,left, or right.  The default value is none. pushpin_label_position=top  pushpin_label_position=bottom  pushpin_label_position=left  pushpin_label_position=right  Other parameter usage Parameters left blank will not be shown. All of the parameters are text fields so you can, for example list in a span of years: yeardeactivated = 1952–1980 provide explanation: yearlit = 1880 (current tower) give more than one answer: fogsignal = Bell (1880)<br />Horn 1 every 20s (1915)   Parameter Usage Example(s) yearbuilt usually the year the light first built (construction completed) yearlit usually the year the present, or last structure was lit automated the year it was automated yeardeactivated If the light is no longer in service, list the year it was last working.List a span of years using an en-dash. taken offline in 1952, and later dismantled in 1960:  | yeardeactivated = 1952 Decommissioned in 1952, re-established in 1980:  | yeardeactivated = 1952–1980 foundation the material of the foundation construction the material of the structure shape the shape of the structure (Cylindrical, conical, pyramidal, etc.) marking color or other distinctive marks  height the total height of the structure above its foundation   Old Point Loma lighthouse: tower height: 46 ft  | focalheight = {{convert|46|ft|m}} |- | focalheight | the height of the actual light source above mean sea level.  When a navigator's light list simply shows a value for 'height', that should be entered here.  Focal height is important for navigation, to help mariners estimate their actual distance from the light under different visibility conditions. | Old Point Loma lighthouse: height of focal plane: 462 ft.  | focalheight = {{convert|462|ft|m}}  (this is the tower height, plus the elevation of the foundation above mean sea level, less the distance between the bulb and the top of the lantern) elevation Deprecated; DO NOT USE.

If the light has colors, there will be several ranges, one for each color.  It's usually given in nautical miles (USCG, NGA, and Admiralty light lists, at least).

The lists are available for download in 7 volumes, each covering a different region. Both the volume number and lighthouse number should be captured here, formatted as ‘V-NNNN’.

It is useful in those cases to include both  and  in an article. The NRHP infobox can be embedded into the lighthouse template, which makes them display at the same width. This is fully described at Template:Infobox nrhp#Embedding.  Briefly, insert the entire NRHP infobox template after the last line in the lighthouse infobox that actually has data. It's easiest if the parameters are left in the order above – then the NRHP infobox template goes after the last line that has something on the right side of the equals sign. The remaining parameter lines in the lighthouse infobox template, if any, can be deleted or left in place following the NRHP template.  Add "|embed = yes" as the second line of the NRHP infobox, immediately after {{Infobox_nrhp The result should end in }}}} (two for the lighthouse box and two for the NRHP – but see the third example below for an exception). The insertion should look like this: (Insert the actual NRHP name in place of ABCDE)  . .   | fogsignal = none   | admiralty =   | canada =   | NGA =   | ARLHS =   | USCG = 1-12345 {{Infobox nrhp   |embed = yes   | name = ABCDE . . }}}} or like this . . | fogsignal = none {{Infobox nrhp   |embed = yes   | name = ABCDE . . }}}} or even like this . .   | fogsignal = none {{Infobox nrhp   |embed = yes   | name = ABCDE . . }} <!- the end of the NRHP infobox ->   | admiralty =   | canada =   | NGA =   | ARLHS =   | USCG = }} <!- the end of the lighthouse infobox -> but not like this . .   | fogsignal = none   | admiralty =   | canada =   | NGA =   | ARLHS =   | USCG = {{Infobox nrhp   |embed = yes   | name = ABCDE . . }}}}  The tool at http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php is an easy way to create the NRHP infobox, just copy it, paste, and add "| embed = yes".  You may want to edit the result a bit, as the National Register database, from which the Elkman tool gets its data, is often a little terse – saying, "COAST GUARD", where you might want "U.S. Coast Guard" and so forth.  Note that the National Register name is often a little different from the name in the article, so if your search doesn't succeed, try using just one word from it.  The Elkman tool can find all uses of any word in the name, so a search on "Light" will show all lighthouses in a state and "Point" will find eleven lights in California. In cases where the name is different, you will probably want to show the NRHP name in the NRHP infobox as it clarifies that the reader is in the right place, see Doubling Point Range Lights, for example.
