Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Building address/doc.

This template is intended for adding building addresses to pictures of buildings and streets in a standardized machine-readable format. The intention is to facilitate a search for all pictures of buildings at a certain address, or for building photos in a certain street, or postal code area. The parameters are the same as used in the OpenStreetMap-Project to describe addresses, with the intention to allow cross-referencing pictures to map data, and are only shown if they are filled in.
Note: For many media it is desirable to use a {{Location}} template in addition to the {{Building address}} template.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Category:Buildings with addresses
• Category:Buildings with addresses - incorrect country code
• Category:Buildings with addresses - country not yet supported
• Category:Buildings with addresses - no country

Usage

{{Building address
 |Street name  =
 |House number =

 |City         =
 |State        =
 |Country      =
}}

This template shall be added within the template {{Information}}, within the parameter description, at the bottom. For an example of the placement, see the following file: File:Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus 1900.jpg
