Height parameters

The following parameters are provided for the height of buildings. They include parameters corresponding to methods used by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) to measure the height of tall buildings. CTBUH heights are measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance of the building.

Specify |height= with no other height-related parameters, or leave |height= blank and fill in one or more of the other parameters below. Use of |height= along with one of the other parameters below will place the page in Category:Pages using infobox building with parameter errors.

Parameter	Description
height	Generic height parameter
architectural	(CTBUH) Height to the top of the building, inclusive of spires but excluding items such as flagpoles and antennae. This is the most commonly cited CTBUH measurement.
tip	(CTBUH) Height to the highest point of the building, including antennae, flagpoles, and technical equipment.
top_floor	(CTBUH) Height to the floor level of the highest floor that is occupied by building users on a consistent basis.
roof	(CTBUH) Height to top of roof. This category was removed from CTBUH criteria in 2009, but is included for historical data.
observatory	Height of observation deck.
antenna_spire	Height of the highest point of structures such as antenna towers.

Map and coordinates

Location maps

The coordinates= parameter is used to display coordinates in the infobox, and optionally at the top of the page; use the {{coord}} template.

• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the location_country= parameter.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto"> {{Infobox building ... | coordinates = | pushpin_map = | pushpin_map_alt = | pushpin_map_caption = | pushpin_relief = | pushpin_label = | pushpin_mark = ... }} </syntaxhighlight>

Map type

A list of templates containing maps that may be used can be found at:

• Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Location map

A list of modules containing maps that may be used can be found at:

• Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/

Mapframe maps

• Basic Infobox mapframe parameters:
  • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no, but also modified by onByDefault
    • Internal onByDefault parameter: yes, unless other map types have been used with |pushpin_map=, |map_type= or |image_map=
  • mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata P625
  • 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 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-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
  • mapframe-wikidata – Set to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">yes</syntaxhighlight> to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: yes
• Customise which features are displayed:
  • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">none</syntaxhighlight>. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">on</syntaxhighlight>. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">none</syntaxhighlight>. Force display of shape by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">on</syntaxhighlight>. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">inverse</syntaxhighlight>. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">none</syntaxhighlight>. Force display of line by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">on</syntaxhighlight>. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for (P17), P131 for (P131)). Default: not specified
  • mapframe-switcher – set to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">auto</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">geomasks</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">zooms</syntaxhighlight> to enable Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
    • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">auto</syntaxhighlight> – 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.
    • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">geomasks</syntaxhighlight> – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
    • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">zooms</syntaxhighlight> – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">3</syntaxhighlight>), "zoomed out" is <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">1</syntaxhighlight>, and "zoomed midway" is the average
• Other optional parameters:
  • mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 250
  • mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
  • mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060

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 Peo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a PPS 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

Peo 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.
