# வார்ப்புரு:Infobox park/doc



This Infobox template can be used in any article about a park, nature reserve or garden.  

## Usage

This template provides many options. A very functional infobox can be created using the most commonly used parameters below.  


## Parameter descriptions

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

| <code>name</code> | 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 <code>name=Hyde Park</code>. |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| <code>alt_name</code> | If there is a common English name for the park use it for the <code>name</code> parameter. This parameter can be used to display the name in the local language or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup. |  |
| <code>photo</code> | The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed. |  |
| <code>photo_width</code> | Can be used to change the display width of the image. The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is ,. 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 or less. For example <code>photo_width=200</code> and not <code>photo_width=</code>. This template allows <code>photo_width=</code>. See Photo display parameters below. |  |
| <code>photo_alt</code> | Alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT. |  |
| <code>photo_caption</code> | The caption that will appear below the image if one is required. |  |
| <code>location</code> | 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. |  |
| <code>nearest_city
nearest_town</code> | 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. |  |
| Map related parameters |  |  |
| <code>map</code> | The name of the map to be displayed. See Map display methods below. |  |
| <code>map_width</code> | Can change the display width the map. The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is , but usually the map can be smaller. For example <code>map_width=200</code> and not <code>map_width=</code>. |  |
| <code>map_alt</code> | Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT. |  |
| <code>map_caption</code> | The caption that appears below the map if one is required. |  |
| <code>label</code> | A text message that will be displayed next to the mark. Works with <code>label_position</code> below. Seldom used. |  |
| <code>label_position</code> | Specifies the position of a label with respect to the mark. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. Valid values are <code></code>, <code></code>, <code>top</code> and <code>bottom</code>. See <code>label</code> above. |  |
| <code>relief</code> | Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. See Map display methods. |  |
| <code>mark</code> | The image used for the mark on a map. The default is . Look here for other images. |  |
| <code>x</code>
<code>y</code> | Specifies the position of the location marker on a map image. The coordinates of the marker in pixels based on a map with a width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See below. |  |
| <code>x%</code>
<code>y%</code> | Specifies the position of the location marker on a map image. <code>x%</code> specifies the percentage of the distance across the image from the edge and <code>y%</code> specifies the percentage of the distance down from the top edge. See below. |  |
| Coordinate related parameters |  |  |
| <code>grid_ref_UK</code> | 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. |  |
| <code>grid_ref_Ireland</code> | 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 it it is present. |  |
| <code>coords</code> | For the template. Will not generate a location mark if a map template is used. When this option is used the <code>type</code>, <code>region</code>, <code>scale</code>, <code>source</code>, <code>format</code> and <code>display</code> parameters are not functional but this data can be entered in the Coord template. The defaults should be <code>type:landmark</code> and <code>display:inline,title</code>. |  |
| <code>lat_d</code> | The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified. See below. |  |
| <code>lat_m</code> | The minutes of latitude. |  |
| <code>lat_s</code> | The seconds of latitude. |  |
| <code>lat_NS</code> | N if north of the equator, S if south of the equator. Other values will be disregarded. |  |
| <code>long_d</code> | The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified. See below. |  |
| <code>long_m</code> | The minutes of longitude. |  |
| <code>long_s</code> | The seconds of longitude. |  |
| <code>long_EW</code> | E if East of the prime meridian, W if west of the prime meridian. Other values will be disregarded. |  |
| <code>coords_ref</code> | Can be used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using tags. |  |
| <code>coords_type</code> | Type is one way to specify the scale of maps generated by external map websites. See type for valid values. The default value is <code>landmark</code>. If no type is appropriate consider using the <code>scale</code> parameter below. |  |
| <code>scale</code> | Determines the zoom factor for external map websites. See scale. The value is 1:10,000 for the default type which is <code>landmark</code>. Using <code>scale=50000</code> will change the zoom to 1:50,000. |  |
| <code>region</code> | A country code. See ISO 3166-2:US, ISO 3166-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. For example US-OR is the code for Oregon. This computer readable code is recommended. It will not be displayed. See region. |  |
| <code>source</code> | Source of the coordinate data. See source. For example gnis or ngs, etc. It will not be displayed. Not all possible values are recognized. |  |
| <code>format</code> | Determines the format of the coordinates displayed. Valid values are <code>dms</code> for degrees, minutes and seconds, and <code>dec</code> for decimal degrees. The default value is <code>dms</code>. |  |

## Photo display parameters

The parameter <code>photo_width</code> allows several options:  

| <code>photo_width=</code> | If no value is assigned, the photo image will display with a width of . |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| <code>photo_width=<n></code> | Where n is any numeric value, the photo image will display with a width of n pixels. The maximum width is . |  |
| <code>photo_width=</code> | The photo image will display with a default width of , however, if a user is logged in, they can change this value here. If this option is used, the <code>upright</code> parameter is made available. For example <code></code> will cause the image to display with a width of (220 * 1.2)px or . More information about this parameter can be found . |  |
| <code>photo_width=upright</code> | The photo image will display with a default width of . This is equivalent to using wiki image syntax. More information about the <code>upright</code> option can be found . | } |

## Alternate parameters

A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error.  

To display the date the park was *created* use the most appropriate parameter below:  
: <code>authorized</code> → Authorized  
: <code>created</code> → Created  
: <code>designated</code> → Designated  
: <code>established</code> → Established  
: <code>opened</code> → Opened  

To display the name of the entity which *manages* the park use the most appropriate parameter below:
