Template:Infobox church

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This infobox is for providing general information about a Christian church, including its history, architecture and staff. To provide information solely about the architectural details of a church building, use "{{Infobox religious building}}".

Churches vary from small chapels to large cathedrals; from corrugated iron sheds to architectural masterpieces of international importance. This template has to be adaptable to all Christian churches and as a consequence has many parameters. It is therefore important that editors exercise discretion in selecting an appropriate number of parameters. If the infobox for a particular church becomes excessive WP:BOLD applies and less significant parameters should be removed.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Name and image
name	The common name of the church. If this is omitted, the article name is used.
fullname	The full name of the church, if this is different from its common name. For instance, "Westminster Abbey" can be placed in the "name" parameter, and "The Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster" in the "fullname" parameter.
other name	Significant nicknames; name in native language (using {{lang}}. Separate multiple values using {{Plainlist}}.
image / img	The name of an image file containing a photograph of the church. If the image is called "File:WesleyMethodistChurch-sepiapostcard.jpg", just type "WesleyMethodistChurch-sepiapostcard.jpg". Do not include "File:" or enclose the file name in double square brackets ("[[ ]]").
imagesize / img size	The width of the image in pixels (px). For example, if you wish the image to be 150px wide, type "150". Do not add "px" after the number. If no number is stated, the width defaults to 220px for an image for a portrait image (i.e., one the width of which is shorter than the height) and 300px for a landscape image (one the width of which is longer than the height).
imagelink	A hyperlink for the image. This can either be a URL or the name of a Wikipedia article. Do not enclose the URL or article name in square brackets. If no link is specified or the parameter is omitted, the image is linked to its image description page.
imagealt	Alt text for the image. For more information, see "Wikipedia:Alternative text for images".
landscape	Indicate "yes" if the image has a landscape orientation, that is, if its width is longer than its height.
caption / img capt	The caption for the image.
Pushpin map, coordinates and location
pushpin map	The country name of a location map, e.g., "Indonesia", "Russia". See "Category:Location map by country templates" for a list of countries for which location maps are currently available. For information on creating new maps, see "Template:Location map#Creating new maps". The coordinate fields below position a pushpin coordinate marker and label on the location map automatically.
pushpin label position	The position of the label on the pushpin map relative to the pushpin coordinate marker. Valid options are "left", "right", "top", "bottom" and "none". If this parameter is not used or no value is specified, the default value is "right".
pushpin map alt	Alt text for the pushpin map.
pushpin mapsize	Must be entered only as a number – do not type "px" after it. The default value is 250.
map caption	A caption for the pushpin map.
relief	Any non-empty value will load a relief version of the location map if available, (instead of the default, blank administrative location map).
latd	The degrees of the latitude. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
latm	The minutes of the latitude.
lats	The seconds of the latitude.
latNS	Whether the latitude is north or south of the Equator – enter "N" or "S".
longd	The degrees of the longitude. Can also be used for decimal degrees.
longm	The minutes of the longitude.
longs	The seconds of the longitude.
longEW	Whether the longitude is east or west of the Prime Meridian – enter "E" or "W".
iso region	the ISO region code for the coordinates (see template:coord#region:R).
coordinates	Deprecated. The lat/long parameters above should be used instead of this parameter in all cases.
osgraw	(Short for "OS grid reference raw".) To provide the geographic grid references of a church in Great Britain according to the British national grid reference system, code simply as the grid ref, for example, "TQ 414 104". Spaces are allowed.
osgridref	As for |osgraw= above, but code as "{{gbmappingsmall|TQ 414 104}}". Note: use |osgraw= or |osgridref=, not both.
location	The city (and the province or state, if applicable) that the church is located in.
country	The country in which the church is located. This must be stated. In accordance with "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Avoid flag icons in infoboxes", do not insert an image of the flag of the country before the country name.

This can be done using the {{convert}} template, like this: "{{convert|404|ft|m|abbr=on}}", "{{convert|120|m|ftin|abbr=on}}". The name of any significant part of the church the dimensions of which are being stated should be indicated in parentheses after the measurement; for example, "{{convert|120|m|ftin|abbr=on}} (spire)", "{{convert|41.47|m|ftin|abbr=on}} (dome)".

Microformat

The HTML mark up 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 an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} 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.
