| To add {{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W}} to the top of an article, use {{Tl|Coord}}, thus:
:'''<code><nowiki>{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}}</nowiki></code>'''
These [[Geographic coordinate system|coordinates]] are in [[Degree (angle)|degrees]], [[Minute of arc|minutes]], and seconds of arc.

"title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page and before any other text or images.

| To add {{Coord|44.112|N|87.913|W}} to the top of an article, use either
:'''<code><nowiki>{{Coord|44.112|N|87.913|W|display=title}}</nowiki></code>'''
(which does not require minutes or seconds but does require the user to specify north/ south and east/west) ''or''
:'''<code><nowiki>{{Coord|44.112|-87.913|display=title}}</nowiki></code>'''
(in which the north and east are presumed by positive values while the south and west are negative ones)
These coordinates are in [[Decimal fraction|decimal]] degrees.

* Degrees, minutes and seconds, when used, must each be separated by a [[Vertical bar|pipe ("|")]].
* [[Geodetic system|Map datum]] must be [[WGS84]] (except for off-earth bodies).
* Avoid [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision guidelines|excessive precision]] (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
* Maintain [[MOS:UNCERTAINTY|consistency]] of decimal places or minutes/ seconds between latitude and longitude.
* Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).

|Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by [[Underscore|an underscore ("_")]]: 
*[[Template:Coord#dim:D|dim]]: <code>dim:</code>'''''N''''' (viewing diameter in metres)
*[[Template:Coord#region:R|region]]: <code>region:</code>'''''R''''' ([[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] or [[ISO 3166-2]] code)
*[[Template:Coord#type:T|type]]: <code>type:</code>'''''T''''' (<code>landmark</code> or <code>city(30,000)</code>, for example)

Other optional parameters are separated by [[Vertical bar|a pipe ("|")]]: 
*[[Template:Coord#Display|display]]
*: {{Para|display|inline}} (the default) to display in the body of the article only,
*: {{Para|display|title}} to display at the top of the article only, or
*: {{Para|display|inline,title}} to display in both places.
*[[Template:Coord#Name|name]]
*: <code>name=</code>'''''X''''' to label the place on maps (default is [[mw:Help:Magic words#Page names|PAGENAME]])
Thus: '''<code><nowiki>{{Coord|44.117|-87.913|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:event</nowiki></code>'''
::'''<code><nowiki>|display=inline,title|name=accident site}}</nowiki></code>'''

Use {{Para|display|title}} (or {{Para|display|inline,title}}) once per article, for the subject of the article, where appropriate.
