Bespoke numbering systems

If a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name, ID number and a link (optional) may be specified.

• |country=
• |countrynumber=
• |countrylink=

Fetch wikidata

To fetch specific fields from Wikidata (and no others) the |fetchwikidata= can be used. For example, to fetch the date of construction and the date of deactivation, use:

• |fetchwikidata=constructed,yeardeactivated

If this parameter is not specified then all available fields will be fetched.

To suppress certain fields (but fetch others), the |suppressfields= can be used. For example, to suppress the range of the lighthouse and its intensity, use:

• |suppressfields=range,intensity

If this parameter is not specified then no fields will be suppressed.

By default, the template will use the Wikidata item associated with the article. In some cases (for example, if the article is about an island but contains some information about a lighthouse on that island) you will need to specify the Wikidata Q-identifier using |qid=. For example:

• |qid=Q28333621

Embedding other templates

The |module= parameter can be used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules): <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">

Full list

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)

For coordinates, use |coordinates= with {{Coord}}. See the Coord template's documentation for details on usage. For example, |coordinates={{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}

Maps

A Mapframe map is automatically included if:

• There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item
• It has not be turned off by setting |mapframe=no

The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map

• |mapframe-zoom= zoom level (default is 10)
• |mapframe-width= and |mapframe-height= for the map size (defaults are 270 and 200)
• |mapframe-marker= for the marker icon (default is no marker icon)
• either |mapframe-marker-color= or |mapframe-marker-colour= for the marker colour (hex triplet, default is #5E74F3)
• |mapframe-caption= caption below the map
• |mapframe-lat= and |mapframe-long= (or |mapframe-latitude= and |mapframe-longitude=) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the lighthouse coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.

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.
