|country=and|nation=have the defaults shown|coordinates=- standard usage is:
{{Coord|44.112|-87.913|type:landmark_country:GB|display=title,inline}}
or
{{Coord|44.112|N|87.913|W|type:landmark_country:GB|display=title,inline}}
These coordinates are in decimal degrees.

These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.
|map_name=may be used to select a map which has a different name to |country, see Template:Location map for more details. The map can be suppressed with 'nomap'.|static_image_alt=is for an alternate text – see WP:ALT|static_image_name=and |static_image_2_name have a default width of 240px. For smaller widths use the following options;
| static_image_width = [width as number (180) or size (180px)] | static_image_2_width = [width as number (180) or size (180px)]
Official name
The heading (official_name) uses the same coding as Template:Infobox UK place including the style 'nowrap'. For long names this will force the infobox to expand sideways. To avoid this include <br /> (bottom rule; equivalent to break or newline) in official_name.
Embedded tables
It is, in theory, possible to embed any table or infobox in this infobox after the second caption - see the example. Although this should work for all tables most of the tables tested default to a greater width (typically 300px) making the application unsatisfactory – see poor example.
Examples
Undocumented options
UK articles should use the defaults so that the articles match with Template:Infobox UK place and other infoboxes. Other articles may wish to make use of the following options (defaults shown). See example.
| label = |official_name [which defaults to {{PAGENAME}}]
| marksize = 9
| mark = Red_pog.svg
Using the correct template
There are many other templates available which in some cases will be more suitable; see list at top of page.
