Height parameters

The following parameters are provided for the height of buildings. They include parameters corresponding to methods used by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) to measure the height of tall buildings. CTBUH heights are measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance of the building.

Specify |height= with no other height-related parameters, or leave |height= blank and fill in one or more of the other parameters below. Use of |height= along with one of the other parameters below will place the page in Category:Pages using infobox building with parameter errors.

Parameter	Description
height	Generic height parameter
architectural	(CTBUH) Height to the top of the building, inclusive of spires but excluding items such as flagpoles and antennae. This is the most commonly cited CTBUH measurement.
tip	(CTBUH) Height to the highest point of the building, including antennae, flagpoles, and technical equipment.
top_floor	(CTBUH) Height to the floor level of the highest floor that is occupied by building users on a consistent basis.
roof	(CTBUH) Height to top of roof. This category was removed from CTBUH criteria in 2009, but is included for historical data.
observatory	Height of observation deck.
antenna_spire	Height of the highest point of structures such as antenna towers.

Map and coordinates

Location maps

The coordinates= parameter is used to display coordinates in the infobox, and optionally at the top of the page; use the {{coord}} template.

• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the location_country= parameter.

{{Infobox building
...
| coordinates         = <!-- Use the {{Coord}} template. -->
| map_type            = <!-- Location name used for Template:Location map -->
| map_alt             = <!-- Alternative text for map image, see WP:ALT for details -->
| map_caption         = <!-- Text to be displayed below map; for no caption enter "map_caption="; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)" -->
| relief              = <!-- Any non-blank value (yes, 1, etc.) will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. -->
| map_dot_label       = <!-- Text to display on the map -->
| map_dot_mark        = <!-- Pin color for use on the map -->
...
}}

Map type

A list of templates containing maps that may be used can be found at:

• Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Location map

A list of modules containing maps that may be used can be found at:

• Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/

Mapframe maps

A Mapframe map is automatically included if:

• There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item (or the item specified in |qid=)
• It has not been turned off by setting |mapframe=no

The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map

• |mapframe-zoom= zoom level (default is 13)
• |mapframe-frame-width= and |mapframe-frame-height= for the map size (defaults are 270 and 200)
• |mapframe-marker= for the marker icon (default is no marker icon)
• either |mapframe-marker-color= or |mapframe-marker-colour= for the marker colour (hex triplet, default is #5E74F3)
• |mapframe-caption= caption below the map
• |mapframe-lat= and |mapframe-long= (or |mapframe-latitude= and |mapframe-longitude=) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the building's coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.
