Map and coordinates
- The location map uses the value of the

country=andborough=parameters. This can be overridden by specifyingregion:XXorregion:XX-ABCin the unnamed parameter after the coordinate values.
{{Infobox station

| coordinates = <!-- {{Coord}} template -->
| map_type = <!-- Location from Location map. -->
| map_overlay = <!-- Overlay image file name, to be placed on top of the main map. Should have the same border coordinates. -->

Mapframes
This template supports mapframes. Parameter instructions:
Template:Infobox mapframe/doc/parameters
External style template
An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=DB-IC will use the {{DB-IC style}} template.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name_format | Formatting the station name in Infobox station |
| thcolor | Font color for table headings in Infobox station |
| thbgcolor | Background color for table headings in Infobox station |
For systems which have an Adjacent stations module defined the |style2= parameter may be used to specify a sub-style within that system. For example, |style2=Amtrak old used with |style=Amtrak will return the pre-Acela Amtrak heritage colors from Module:Adjacent stations/Amtrak.
Embedding other infoboxes
The |embedded= or |nrhp= parameters can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{infobox designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

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.
