Template:Poi/doc
From CruisersWiki
This template is used to list POIs (POI stands for point of interest).
In a wiki article a POI denotes some geographic location like a city, port or an anchorage. Such a POI must have a name and a type, also it should have some geographic coordinates and a description text.
There are two styles in using this template.
Usage
Lat, Lon style
{{poi | lat= | lon=
| type=
| name=
| text=
}}
Here the coordinates are defined by lat and lon parameters represented in decimal degrees (negative values denote either S or W hemispheres).
DD°M.M'H style
{{poi |DD|M.M|N|DDD|M.M|E|
| type=
| name=
| text=
}}
Coordinates in this format are quite useful then Template:Coord locations are converted into Template:Poi and similar templates.
In this case the coordinates of a location are represented by 6 positional parameters. The first 3 parameters are: round number degrees of latitude, minutes of latitude, N or S for hemisphere. The further 3 parameters are the similar to the first group, but they denote the longitude part of a coordinate.
NB: There are no spaces or new line between these parameters and vertical bars ("|"), including the last in this sequience, the 6th parameter.
Type
A value of the type parameter should be one of:
- anchorage
- berth (for marinas and other moorings at quays, piers, etc.)
- buoy (for mooring buoys)
- provisioning (for grocery stores, markets and supermarkets)
- chandler (for yacht's stores)
- catering (for restaurants, caffes, eateries, etc.)
- officials
- facilities
- service
- accommodation
- beach
- waypoint
- other
