Mapframe maps
- Basic parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no
- The default value of the mapframe parameter is also modified by the internal onByDefault parameter. Default: yes, unless any of the other map parameters are present:
|pushpin_map=,|map_type=,|map=,|image_map=
- The default value of the mapframe parameter is also modified by the internal onByDefault parameter. Default: yes, unless any of the other map parameters are present:
- 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

P17for country (P17),P131for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified - mapframe-switcher – set to
autoorgeomasksorzoomsto enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specifiedauto– switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively.

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.
