Parameters

Please note:

With parameters or values that are not applicable/available or unknown, please use "none" or "unknown" rather than the ambiguous abbreviations "n/a", etc.
At least one reliable source citation must accompany each qualitative or subjective judgement, quantity or statistical entry (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).

Parameters whose inclusion is required are listed below in bold italics.

Parameter	Description
name	Formal name of the memorial.
native_name	The name in local language of the area where the memorial is located. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}.
native_name_lang	The local language's ISO 639-2 code (e.g. "fr" for French). If more than one, use {{lang}} instead.
body	The country or other body responsible for administering the memorial (e.g. the Commonwealth War Graves Commission).

caption	An optional caption for the image
commemorates	The force, nationality, or other identity of the dead being honored (e.g. "the British of all wars", "the missing of World War I", "the RAF dead of World War II", etc.).
use_dates	Period during which the people interred at the cemetery died, given as an en dash-separated pair of numbers (e.g. "1915–18"). This often corresponds to the dates of a particular conflict. Do not use if commemorates above is specified.
established	Date when the memorial was established or first used (use {{start date}}).
unveiled	Date when the memorial was unveiled (if established provided, do not use {{start date}}).
removed	Date when the memorial was removed or dismantled (use {{end date}}).
coordinates	Location of the memorial. For coordinates, use {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.
location	Where the location is given as a coordinate pair, the town or place within which the memorial is located.
nearest_town	Where the location is given as a coordinate pair and the memorial is not located within a town, the town nearest to the memorial.
designer	Person, people or group that designed the memorial.
total_burials	Total number of people buried in the memorial's cemetery.
unknowns	Number of unidentified individuals buried in the memorial's cemetery.
commemorated	Number of individuals without known graves commemorated in the memorial's cemetery.

by_war	Breakdown of burials by the war during which those buried were killed. Usually formatted as a bulleted list.
inscription	The main inscription on the memorial (if any).
designation	Heritage designation (such as {{Infobox designation list}} or {{Infobox NRHP}}, if any).
embedded	For embedding an embeddable infobox (or sidebar) template such as {{Infobox designation list}} or {{Infobox NRHP}}.
source	At least one source for the statistics in the infobox.

Mapframe maps

Basic {{Infobox mapframe}} parameters:
- mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no, but also modified by onByDefault
  - Internal onByDefault parameter: yes
- mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata d:Property:P625
- mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
- mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
- mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
- mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
Customise which features are displayed:
- mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
- mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Force display of shape by setting to on. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
- mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Force display of line by setting to on. Default: not specified
- mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
- mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
  - auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
  - geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
  - zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
Other optional parameters:
- mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
- mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
- mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
- mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.1
- mapframe-stroke-color or mapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
  - mapframe-line-stroke-color or mapframe-line-stroke-colour – Color of line features. Default: #ff0000
  - mapframe-shape-stroke-color or mapframe-shape-stroke-colour – Color of outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
- mapframe-stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: 2
  - mapframe-shape-stroke-width – Width of outlines of shape features. Default: 2
  - mapframe-line-stroke-width – Width of line features. Default: 5
- mapframe-marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: monument
  - Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
- mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
- mapframe-geomask-stroke-color or mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
- mapframe-geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default: 1
- mapframe-geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
- mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.25
- mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
- mapframe-length_km or mapframe-length_mi or mapframe-area_km2 or mapframe-area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified / not specified / not specified / not specified
- mapframe-frame-coordinates or mapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
- mapframe-type – Set the type of the object, with the same usage as {{coord}}. Default: landmark

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

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.
