Template:Infobox Protected area/doc

This template is part of the Protected Areas WikiProject.

Usage
To get started, you can simply copy this blank definition into your page, and fill in the data. Be sure to read the notes below it.


 * Each group of items above is optional.
 * You may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
 * To hide the locator dot, leave locator_x and locator_y blank
 * The "IUCN category" must be one of the following (case-sensitive): Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, or VI — or it can be left blank.
 * base_width is the width of the base map (default value 288)
 * locator_x and locator_y are the number of pixels to offset the locator dot from the left and top edges of the base map. Note: there is a 3px y-axis difference between Internet Explorer and Firefox.
 * Be flexible with the "Location" field. Depending on the scale of the protected area it could be very broad (example: "Northwest Alberta, Canada), or could be a more specific place (examples: "St. Mary's County, Maryland, USA" or "Chartres, France").
 * The "Nearest city" is optional, but it is highly recommended if the "Location" field is not already an identifiable city. It could be a city with a major airport, or even a recognizable large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available.
 * If you have only degrees and minutes, set the seconds to "0".
 * Wiki links are fine in any of the Infobox fields except IUCN category and coordinates.
 * Include the HTML comments before and following the template; they help inexperienced editors.
 * Please spend some time at the Protected Areas WikiProject article and its talk page for standards on presenting names and other data.

Finding coordinates for the locator dot
There is a simple template tool named which you can use to help with pinpointing the x and y coordinates for a locator dot. If you're using a popular locator map, you can test with the list of examples already included in the usage and instructions page
