Image

For each institution, it is preferable to have an image of the main building (or another significant illustration), in the « image » field.

Geographic informations

Most of the geographic informations in the templates are set to be fetched on Wikidata. You can rewrite them if the informations are false or absent, but please consider adding them to the Wikidata item instead !

GPS coordinates

The GPS coordinates latitude and longitude can use a {{GeoTemplate}} model which allows you to display the images/maps/photos of the site. If the WikiMiniAtlas is activated, the image of a globe should appear next to the coordinates. When clicking this globe, an interactive map should appear on the article itslef. In any other case, see the WikiMiniAtlas page for a custom installation.
