Usage

A military installation infobox may be used to summarize information about a military structure or facility, such as a fortification or military base.

The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox military installation}} template, as shown below:

Parameters

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". If a parameter is not applicable, leave it blank and it will not be displayed. All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{Coord}}'s |name= parameter.
