This template is used on approximately 8,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
If the park is a natural protected area listed by IUCN, then editors should use {{Infobox protected area}}. |

Parameters
Descriptions
This table describes all parameters which can be used in build park infobox. Only the name
parameter must be assigned a value.
Field name | Description |
---|---|
name |
Required. The name of the park. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example, if the article title is Hyde Park, London then name=Hyde Park .
|
alt_name |
If there is a common English name for the park use it for the name parameter. This parameter can be used to display the full name if different from name or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
|
native_name |
name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}. |
native_name_lang |
ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead. |
image photo |
The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed. |
image_size photo_width |
Can be used to change the display width of the image. The default width is 250 pixels and maximum is 325 pixels. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180 pixels or less. For example, image_size=200 and not image_size=200px . This template allows image_size=frameless . See Photo display parameters below.

Alternative text for the image, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT. |
image_caption photo_caption |
The caption that will appear below the image if one is required. |
Map related parameters | |
map |
The name of the location map to be displayed. See Map display methods below. To use a static image, use |map_image=

|
relief |
Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. See Map display methods. |

Image display parameters
The parameters image_size
or photo_width
allow several options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
image_size= photo_width= |
If no value is assigned, the image will display with a width of 250 pixels. |
image_size=<n> photo_width=<n> |
Where n is any numeric value, the image will display with a width of n pixels. The maximum width is 325 pixels. |
image_size=frameless photo_width=frameless |
The image will display with a default width of 220 pixels, however, if a user is logged in, they can change this value here. If this option is used, the upright parameter is made available. For example, |image_size=frameless|upright=1.2 will cause the image to display with a width of (220 * 1.2) or 264 pixels. More information about this parameter can be found here.
|
image_size=upright photo_width=upright |
The image will display with a default width of 170px. This is equivalent to [[File:Example.jpg|frameless|upright]] using wiki image syntax. More information about the upright option can be found here.
|
Alternate parameters
A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error.

Map display methods
Any image of a map showing the location of the park can be used.
Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates
A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates=
parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:
- List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
- Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.
- Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.
- Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.
- Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.
All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada
.
Four Corners, Canada | |
---|---|
Coordinates | 60°N 102°W / 60°N 102°W |
{{Infobox park|
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}
By default, {{Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter |display=inline,title
can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.

for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified - mapframe-switcher – set to
auto
orgeomasks
orzooms
to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specifiedauto
