Location Template
To be Edited...
Fill out the suggested details; if something essential is missing, add a {{Stub/X}} where X may be Image, Location, Other, etc., so that others may find and complement your submission. The templates will automatically add the location to the correct Lotro-Wiki Category; however, you may want to manually add the location to e.g. Public Dungeons, Ruins, etc.
- These Boilerplates use one of the five Category: Infobox Templates:
The same basic template is used on all landmark pages. The parameters for this template are:
- name (Required): The name of the landmark. Default: {{subst:PAGENAME}}
- type (Optional): Whether it's wilderness, a building, mountain, lake, or statue. Default: not included
- region (Required): The region name. Default: none
- area: The area name. Default: none. If area equals region only the region is displayed.
- settlement Optional): The name of the settlement containing the landmark. If area equals settlement only the settlement is displayed.
- pointOfInterest: (optional): Blank, or any text. See below for usage.
- map (Required): The map name for use with the location tooltip. Default: none
- NS (Required): The North/South value from the ;loc command in-game including either N or S at the end. Default: 0.00N
