Dimensional parameters

This template includes code that allows input of dimensional information: any of height, width, length, and diameter, as well as a freeform parameter for adding nonstandard information.

There are 11 parameters, of which most fall into two groups of unit types:

  • height_imperial
  • width_imperial
  • length_imperial
  • diameter_imperial
These define the respective values for Imperial or US customary units such as the foot or inch. If the imperial unit is set to feet, inch specification can be added with height_inch, width_inch, length_inch, otherwise these _inch-suffixed parameters should not be used.
  • height_metric
  • width_metric
  • length_metric
  • diameter_metric
These define the respective values for SI (metric) units such as the metre (meter) or centimetre (centimeter).

Once raw numerical values are established in the above parameters, the units are set in the imperial_unit and metric_unit parameters, which default to inches and centimetres respectively.

If information is provided in only one unit system, it is automatically converted to the other using the unit that is defined for that system. In general, this should be used, as for most pieces of artwork measurements will only be taken in one unit system. Do not use a comma as decimal indicator for metric units (as used in some European and other countries) since the conversion does not recognize commas and the imperial measurement will be calculated incorrectly (e.g. use 30.8 not 30,8).

Users should take care to avoid false precision: measurements should be provided in the same unit, and with the same number of significant digits, as when they were taken. ("1 metre" is far less precise than "1000.00 millimetres", even though they are, in theory, the same length!)

If additional dimensional data is needed, the dimensions parameter can be used to add freeform information to the end of the rendered string. This parameter accepts raw wikitext and is not subject to any automatic conversion or modification ({{convert}} would have to be used manually).

References concerning artwork dimensions can be appended to the dimensional data by placing them in the optional dimensions_ref parameter.

Map and coordinates

The coordinates= parameter is used to display coordinates in the infobox, and optionally at the top of the page; use the {{coord}} template.

Two types of maps are available: pushpin maps (static) or mapframe maps (dynamic).

Pushpin maps

{{Infobox artwork
...
| coordinates         = <!-- Use the {{Coord}} template. -->
| pushpin_map         = <!-- Location name used for Template:Location map -->
| pushpin_map_alt     = <!-- Location name used for Template:Location map -->
| pushpin_relief      = 
| pushpin_label_position =
| map_dot_label       = 
| map_size            = 
| pushpin_map_caption = <!-- Text to be displayed below map; for no caption enter "pushpin_map_caption="; -->
...
}}

Mapframe maps

A Mapframe map is automatically included if:

  • It has been turned on by setting |mapframe=yes
  • There are coordinates specified in |coord=, or if the Wikidata item for the page (or as specified in |qid=) has a value for for work (P625)
  • No pushpin map has been specified

The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map

  • |mapframe-zoom= zoom level (default is 14)
  • |mapframe-width= and |mapframe-height= for the map size (defaults are 270 and 200)
  • |mapframe-marker= for the marker icon (default is monument)
  • either |mapframe-marker-color= or |mapframe-marker-colour= for the marker colour (hex triplet, default is #5E74F3)
  • either |mapframe-stroke-color= or |mapframe-stroke-colour= for the stroke colour (hex triplet, default is #FF0000)
  • |mapframe-caption= caption below the map
  • |mapframe-lat= and |mapframe-long= (or |mapframe-latitude= and |mapframe-longitude=) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the hospital's coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.
