This template can be used to generate an infobox for a protected area. It is part of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas|Protected areas WikiProject]].

== Usage ==
The "basic usage" templates includes selected parameters which can be used to form a completely functional infobox. The "full usage" template includes all of the extra parameters which may be added. Either can be pasted into a new article. See [[#Examples|below]] for working examples.

{{Parameter names example | name | alt_name | iucn_category | photo | photo_width | photo_alt | photo_caption | map=Earth | map_caption | coordinates={{coord|0|0|type:landmark|display=inline}} | coords_ref | location | nearest_city | nearest_town | length | width | area | area_ref | elevation = {{{elevation}}} ''or''<br>{{{elevation_avg}}}, {{{elevation_min}}}, {{{elevation_max}}} | dimensions | designation | authorized | created | established | designated | disestablished | named_for | visitation_num | visitation_year | visitation_ref | governing_body | administrator | operator | owner | world_heritage_site | website | embedded | embedded2 }}

== Parameter descriptions ==
This table describes all parameters which can be used in building infoboxes. Only the <code>name</code> parameter must be assigned a value.

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 97%;"
! style="width: 14%" | Field name || Description
|-
| <code>name</code> || Required. The official name of the protected area. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example if the article title is [[Mount Washington (New Hampshire)]] then <code>name=Mount Washington</code>.
|-
| <code>alt_name</code> || If there is a common English name for the area use for the <code>name</code> parameter. This parameter can be used to display the name in the local language or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
|-
| <code>iucn_category</code> || Strongly recommended. The [[World Commission on Protected Areas#IUCN Categories of Protected Area|IUCN]] category associated with the protected area. Valid values are Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V, or VI. See [[#IUCN Categories|IUCN Categories]].
|-
| <code>iucn_ref</code> || A reference for the iucn_category.
|-
| <code>photo</code> || The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed.
|-
| <code>photo_width</code> || Can be used to change the display width the image. The default and maximum value is 284px. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180px or 220px. For example <code>photo_width=200</code> and not <code>photo_width=200px</code>.
|-
| <code>photo_alt</code> || Alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See [[WP:ALT]].
|-
| <code>photo_caption</code> || The caption which will appear below the image if one is required.
|-
| <code>map</code> || The name of the [[Template:location map|location map]] to be displayed. See [[#Map display methods|Map display methods]].  To use a static image, use {{para|map_image}}
|-
| <code>map_image</code> || The file name of a static map image to be displayed.  To use a [[Template:location map|location map]], use {{para|map}}.
|-
| <code>map_width</code> || Width to display the map image in pixels. The default and maximum is 284, but usually the map should be much smaller. For example: <code>map_width=200</code> (not <code>map_width=200px</code>). If a [[Template:Location map|location map]] template is used the map size might be scaled automatically if no width is specified.
|-
| <code>map_alt</code> || Alternative text for the map image, see [[WP:ALT]].
|-
| <code>map_caption</code> || Text to be displayed below the map image, if required.
|-
| <code>AlternativeMap</code> || Use an alternative map for the location map, where available. For additional information, see [[Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter]].
|-
| <code>relief</code> || When the geographical coordinates method is used (see [[#Map display methods|Map display methods]]), any non-blank value (<code>yes</code>, <code>1</code>, etc.) will cause the template to display a [[relief mapping (computer graphics)|relief map]] image, where available. For additional information, see [[Template:Location map#Relief parameter]].
|-
| <code>label</code> || A text message that will be displayed next to the marker. Works with <code>label_position</code> below. 
|-
| <code>label_position</code> || Specifies the position of a label with respect to the marker. This is not functional when using the XY method for map display. It must be assigned a value or no label will not display. Valid values are <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>top</code> and <code>bottom</code>. See <code>label</code> above.
|-
| <code>mark</code> || The image to use for the marker. The default is [[:File:Red pog.svg|Red pog.svg]], unless <code>map=us locator blank.svg</code> in which case the default is [[:File:Green pog.svg|Green pog.svg]]. See [[Template:Location map]] for more information.
|-
| <code>marker_size</code> || The display width of the marker image in pixels. The default value is 8.
|-
| <code>location</code> || The location of the protected area. Don't be too precise. County, state and country are good in the USA. If the area is within a city specify the city, state and country. If the area is in multiple counties just list the state and country. For areas in other countries adjust accordingly.
|-
| <code>nearest_city</code><br /><code>nearest_town</code> || Recommended if the area is not within a city or town. It could be a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available. Use the most appropriate parameter.
|-
| <code>coordinates</code><br /><code>coords</code> || For the {{tl|coord}} template. The parameters {{para|format|dms}} and {{para|display|inline,title}} are recommended. Its coordinates can be used with the location map. (Unless a value for <code>type:</code> is provided, the template will automatically use <code>type:landmark</code>. See the {{tl|Coord}} page for more info.)
|-
| <code>coords_ref</code> || Can be used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using {{nowrap| <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code>}} tags.
|-
| <code>length</code> || Length of protected area, e.g., length of a trail. The {{tl|Convert}} template should be used.
|-
| <code>length_km</code><br /><code>length_mi</code> || Length of protected area, with automatic conversion to metric/imperial units. 
|-
| <code>width</code> || Width of protected area. Can be used with {{para|length}} to describe rough shape. The {{tl|Convert}} template should be used.
|-
| <code>width_km</code><br /><code>width_mi</code> || Width of protected area, with automatic conversion to metric/imperial units.
|-
| <code>area</code> || Area of the protected area. Usually in acres or square miles for US locations and hectares or square kilometres elsewhere. The {{tl|Convert}} template should be used. Very small areas might be specified in square feet, square yards or square metres.
|-
| <code>area_km2</code><br /><code>area_sqmi</code><br /><code>area_acre</code><br /><code>area_ha</code> || Area of the protected area, with automatic conversion to metric/imperial units. Preferred to using bare {{para|area}}
|-
| <code>area_ref</code> || Reference to reliable source for area value.
|-
| <code>elevation</code> || Elevation of the protected area.
|-
| <code>dimensions</code> || Dimensions of the protected area.
|-
| <code>designation</code> || The legal protection offered to the park.
|-
| <code>authorized</code><br /><code>created</code><br /><code>designated</code><br /><code>established</code> || The date the protected area was created. See [[#Alternate parameters|below]]. Use {{tl|Start date}}. For example, for Yosemite National Park, use <nowiki>{{Start date|1890|10|1}}</nowiki>. 
|-
| <code>disestablished</code> || The date when the area became no longer protected, if any.
|-
| <code>named_for</code> ||
|-
| <code>visitation_num</code> || The number of visitors in a recent year if known.
|-
| <code>visitation_year</code> || The year during which the number of visitors was counted.
|-
| <code>visitation_ref</code> || Used with the visitation parameters above. Highly recommended. Specify the a citation for the visitation data  using {{nowrap| <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code>}} tags.
|-
| <code>governing_body</code><br /><code>administrator</code><br /><code>operator</code><br /><code>owner</code> || The agency or organization which controls or owns the protected area. See [[#Alternate parameters|below]].
|-
| <code>world_heritage_site</code> || The year the protected area was designated a [[World Heritage Site]]. Few areas have this designation. If the article uses {{tl|Infobox World Heritage Site}} then this parameter should not be used.
|-
| <code>website</code><br /><code>url</code> || The full URL of the official website with no formatting. For example: {{nowrap| <code><nowiki>http://www.example.org/</nowiki></code>}}. Use {{para|website}} to display it with the label "Website" or use {{para|url}} to display it with no label.
|-
| <code>child</code> || Set to "yes" if this infobox is embedded inside another infobox.
|-
| <code>embedded</code><br /><code>embedded1</code> || Another infobox to place within this infobox. It will show up at the bottom. It needs to have its "embed" or "child" parameter set to 1 or yes, as appropriate.
|-
| <code>embedded2</code> || A second embedded infobox.
|}

=== Alternate parameters ===
A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error.

{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|authorized=''authorized''}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|created=''created''}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|designated=''designated''}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|established=''established''}}
Protected areas are often created as the result of a governmental procedure. For example, in the United States, national parks are ''established'' by an act of congress, National Monuments are usually ''created'' by presidential proclamation, and wilderness areas are ''designated'' by an act of congress. National Park Service Affiliated Areas are ''authorized''.
: <code>authorized</code> → Authorized
: <code>created</code> → Created
: <code>designated</code> → Designated
: <code>established</code> → Established

{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|administrator=''administrator''}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|operator=''operator''}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name=|owner=''owner''}}
Some areas are privately owned, and it might be inappropriate to use the label ''Governing body''. For example, the [[Aleutian World War II National Historic Area]] is affiliated with the [[National Park Service]] but is ''owned'' by the [[Ounalashka Corporation]]. [[Chimney Rock National Historic Site]] is operated by the [[Nebraska State Historical Society]].

=== IUCN Categories ===
Depending on the value of the <code>iucn_category</code> parameter, one of the following banners will be displayed below the name. Valid values are Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, V and VI. For more information read the [[IUCN protected area categories]] article. If you cannot find the correct code in a [[WP:SOURCE|reliable source]], leave blank.

== Map display methods ==
Any image of a map showing the location of the protected area can be used.

=== Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates ===

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{tl|Coord}} template inside the {{para|coordinates}} parameter. See the documentation for {{tl|Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{tlf|Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:
:[[Template:Location map/List|List of templates]] – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
:[[:Category:Location map templates]] - templates sorted by category.
:[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info]] – a search that might help.
:[[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/]] – another search that might help.
:[[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map]] – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is [[Module:Location map/data/Canada|Location map/data/Canada]]. In this case specify {{para|map|Canada}}.

{{Infobox protected area
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}

| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}</pre>

By default, {{tl|Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter {{para|display|inline,title}} can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.
