To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of a page, use {{Coord2}}, thus:
{{Coord2|57|18|22.5|N|4|27|32.7|W|display=title}}

These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc.

To add Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found. to the top of a page, use either
{{Coord2|44.112|N|87.913|W|display=title}}

or

{{Coord2|44.112|-87.913|display=title}}

These coordinates are in decimal degrees.

  • Degrees, minutes and seconds must be separated by a pipe ("|").
  • Map datum must be WGS84 (except for off-earth bodies).
  • Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1″ is <31 m).
  • Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).
Optional coordinate parameters follow the longitude and are separated by an underscore ("_"):

Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):

  • display
    |display=inline (the default) to display in the body of the page only,
    |display=title to display in the title only, or
    |display=inline,title to display in both places.
  • name
    name=X to label the place on maps (default is PAGENAME)

Thus: {{Coord2|44.117|-87.913|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:event

|display=inline,title|name=accident site}}

Use |display=title (or |display=inline,title) once per page, for the subject of the page, where appropriate.
