Parameters

All fields are optional. The infobox is segmented into several basic parts, including the name of the site, an image, a map of the site's location, basic information about the site, and information pertaining to the registers on which the site is listed. Wikilinks and other formatting are acceptable in any of the Infobox fields except map/image and coordinate parameters.

Please spend some time at the Historic sites WikiProject and its talk page for standards on presenting names, designations, and other data.

Parameter	Description
embed	Set to true to embed in another tempalte
name	Most recognizable name of the site. This may or may not be the official name given by any designation registers. See WP:TITLE for more information.
native_name	The name of the site in its native language. For sites in countries that have more than one common language, choose the language most closely associated with the specific region of the country in which the site is located, and use the native_name2 and native_name3 parameters for other languages. Only three languages are supported at this time.
native_name2
native_name3
native_name_lang	The language of the native name or its corresponding ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 language code. This uses the {{lang}} templates to display a link to the article about the language. If a language name (e.g. "French", "Russian", etc.) is specified, {{Lang2iso}} converts it into its ISO abbreviation.
native_name_lang2
native_name_lang3
other_name	Other name(s) by which the site is known. Most often this entry is used best for alternative names of the site in English. The transliteration of a foreign-language name into English often produces multiple English names with slightly different spellings.
image	Name of main image displayed. Only the title of the image (i.e. Don't include "File:" or "Image:").
image_size	Width of main image in pixels.
caption	Caption for main image. Links can be included in this text.
alt	Alt text for image. For more information see WP:ALT.
image_map	Name of site map image displayed. Only the title of the image (i.e. Don't include "File:" or "Image:").
image_map_size	Width of site map image in pixels.
image_map_caption	Caption for site map image. Links can be included in this text.
image_map_alt	Alt text for image. For more information see WP:ALT.
coordinates	The location using {{Coords}}
coord_ref	A reference for the coordinates if avaliable
map_type	If you want a map to be displayed, set this parameter to the region in which the site is located. See {{Location map}} for valid regions. If the parameter is left blank, no location map will be displayed. A mapframe map may still be displayed; see below.
map_caption	Caption for the map.
map_relief	Any non-blank value (yes, 1, etc.) will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter.
map_dot_mark	If the template is set to display a location map, this parameter will set the symbol used as the "pin" to mark the site's location. If not specified, defaults to File:Red pog.svg ().
type	Type of object (e.g. Church, Burial Mound)
location	City, country, state, province, etc. in which site is located. If known, the postal address of the site can be included here as well. It is suggested that links are provided to the cities and countries.
etymology
epochs	Period(s) during which the site was in use (e.g., Bronze Age II–Iron Age I)
cultures	Cultures which evidence has shown to have occupied the site. This can be an archaeological culture but also a culture in the sense of a people. Mention the archaeological culture in the form of a noun minus the word "culture" and mention a people in the form of an adjective. For example, a wikilink to [[Vinča culture]] becomes [[Vinča culture|Vinča]].
dependency_of	If a satellite dependency (e.g., outlying village, quarry, etc.), specify the controlling nearby city or site
occupants	Significant historical figures occupying or associated with the site
region
nearest_city
part_of	Name of main site, if part of larger site or complex

founder	If the site is a city or locality which was founded by a group of people, this parameter describes who did the founding
built	If the site is a building or manmade structure, this parameter describes when it was built.
beginning_label	If none of the above labels quite apply to the article's subject (i.e. if the place was "settled" or "discovered"), these parameters can be used to show a customized date. Example: |beginning_label=Settled and |beginning_date=15th century
beginning_date
builder	If known, name of person or people who built the site
built_for	If a building or structure was built for a specific person (such as a king or queen) or organization, this parameter identifies them.

sculptor
architecture	If the site is a building or manmade structure, this parameter describes the architectural style. Links are encouraged.
year_of_event
events	Significant historical event(s) associated with the site
governing_body	Body that owns/operates the historic site. If there is a Wikipedia article about the governing body, link to it. If the site is owned by a local or national government, be sure to provide adequate regional information.
owner	Who owns the property or is it public?
management	Pertinent info about the management of the site (private manager, admission fee, etc.)
visitors_num	Most recent figure describing the number of visitors to the site in a given year along with a reference. If a specific year is not known, an estimated annual number of visitors can be included.
visitors_year
visitors_ref
public_access	Is the site open to public visits (Yes, No, Limited)

designation1	Input the callname of the designation here. For a list of supported callnames, see Template:Designation/doc#Supported designations.
designation1_offname	The official name of the historic site, as listed in the register. If the official name is the same as the common name at the top of the infobox, this field is not necessary. If more than one name is included on the register, include all of them.
designation1_type	Some registers have certain types of designations (i.e. "Natural" and "Cultural", "Grade I" and "Grade II", etc.). If the type is closely associated with the designation, input that type here.
designation1_criteria	Some registers require sites to meet specific criteria (normally one or more items in a list) for inclusion. If the criteria is known, input it here.
designation1_date	Date when the site received this designation. Normally this parameter needs a reference (make sure it is properly formatted).
delisted1_date	If a site has been removed from a designation's list, this is the date of delisting. Setting a value to this parameter causes the designation's color bar to turn grey and adds the word "Former" to the beginning. This parameter also needs a reference.
designation1_partof	Some designations are part of larger designations (i.e. an individually designated building inside a designated district or an individually designated district in a designated city). For example, Ellis Island is a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument; both are listed as New York City Landmarks. If the larger designation is listed on the same register, include the name of the larger designation here. If a Wikipedia article exists about that designation, link to it.
designation1_number	Most registers include unique reference numbers for each site so that they can be searched for more easily than by name (There may be two Jones Houses on the register, but they have unique reference numbers). Include this reference number here.

Mapframe parameters

• 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 any of these are set: |map_type=, |image_map=, |embed=
  • 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 d:Property: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 {{maplink}} 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 yes to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
• Customise which features are displayed:
  • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Force display of shape by setting to on. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Force display of line by setting to on. 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 country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
  • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
    • auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (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.
    • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
    • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, 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

    • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
  • mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-color or mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default: 1
