Template:Infobox protected area/Wikidata/doc

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

Usage
These selected parameters can be used to form a completely functional infobox and the extra parameters listed below can also be added. This markup can be pasted into a new article. See below for working examples.


 * Basic usage


 * Full code



Parameter descriptions
This table describes all parameters which can be used in building infoboxes. Only the  parameter must be assigned a value.

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.

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.
 * → Authorized
 * → Created
 * → Designated
 * → Established

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 Nebraska State Historical Society.
 * → Governing body
 * → Administrator
 * → Operator
 * → Owner

IUCN Categories
Depending on the value of the  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 reliable source, leave blank.

Coordinate syntax
See Template:Infobox protected area/doc.

With map only


With photograph only


With no photograph or map

Map display methods
Any image of a map showing the location of the protected area can be used. There are several methods by which maps showing a marker can be generated. See Template:Infobox protected area for details.
