Usage

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

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 -->
}}

Microformat

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

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

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

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