Usage[edit]

This template generates an infobox for docks. Below is the basic syntax that you need to get a complete infobox for an article. Place this below any hatnotes and before any other text and fill in the variables. If a variable is empty, it can and should be omitted. Other, more specific parameters exist and are described in detail below.

Syntax[edit]

This is the basic code you need to set up an infobox for a dock:

{{Infobox docks
 | name            = 
 | image           = 
 | caption         = 
 | location        = 
 | coordinates     = <!-- {{Coord|LAT|LON|display=inline,title}} -->
 | grid_ref_UK     = <!-- e.g. SJ297909 -->
 | owner           = 
 | operator        = 
 | opened          = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD|df=y}} -->
 | closed          = <!-- {{End date|YYYY|MM|DD|df=y}} -->
 | reopened        = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD|df=y}} -->
 | closed1         = <!-- {{End date|YYYY|MM|DD|df=y}} -->
 | type            = <!-- dry, half tide or wet dock, etc. -->
 | purpose         = <!-- cargo transfer, ship construction, ship repair, layup, etc. -->
 | joins           = <!-- connecting docks, rivers and other waterways -->
 | entries         = <!-- number of water entrances available to access the dock -->
 | gates           = <!-- number of gated water entrances to the dock -->
 | area            = <!-- {{Convert|10|ha|acre|abbr=on}} -->
 | volume          = <!-- {{Convert|10|m3|cuyd|abbr=on}} -->
 | length          = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|yd|abbr=on}} --> <!-- size of the dock along its largest axis -->
 | width_entrance  = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|ft|abbr=on}} --> <!-- width of the dock entrance -->
 | min_depth       = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|ft|abbr=on}} --> <!-- the minimum water depth required to float a ship with the maximum permitted draft -->
 | quay_length     = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|yd|abbr=on}} --> <!-- total length of the quays surrounding the dock -->
 | max_draft       = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|ft|abbr=on}} --> <!-- the maximum permitted hull draft able to enter the dock -->
 | max_beam        = <!-- {{Convert|10|m|ft|abbr=on}} --> <!-- the maximum permitted width of vessels able to enter the dock -->
 | cranes          = <!-- number and types of permanent cranes at the quayside, use {{ubl}} for multiple types --> 
 | cargo_type      = <!-- container, bulk, reefer, tanker, RORO, etc. -->
 | warehousing     = <!-- {{Convert|10|m3|cuyd|abbr=on}} --> <!-- total capacity of warehouses at the quayside -->
 | transport_links = <!-- connecting roads and railway lines -->
}}

Example[edit]

{{Infobox docks
| name        = Bidston Dock
| image       = Iron ore unloaders, Birkenhead 1964.jpg
| location    = [[Birkenhead]], [[United Kingdom]] 
| coordinates = {{Coord|53.412857|-3.056538|region:GB_type:landmark_scale:2000|display=inline,title}}
| grid_ref_UK = SJ297909
| owner       = [[Mersey Docks and Harbour Company]]
| opened      = {{Start date|1933}}
}}

Microformat[edit]

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles 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[edit]

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

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

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes[edit]

hCard uses HTML classes including:

adr
agent
category
county-name
extended-address
fn
label
locality
nickname
note
org
region
street-address
uid
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[edit]

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