Use as a child template
The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another (see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes).



Embedding other templates
The embedded parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox.



Example 1


Example 2: embedded templates


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.

Location maps
The  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  parameter.



Map type
A list of templates containing maps that may be used can be found at: A list of modules containing maps that may be used can be found at:
 * Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Location map
 * Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/

Mapframe maps
A Mapframe map is automatically included if: The following optional parameters can be used to adjust the map
 * There are coordinates specified on the page's Gratisdata item (or the item specified in qid)
 * It has not been turned off by setting no
 * Other map types have not been used (pushpin_map map_type and image_map not used)
