Template:Coord unknown/doc

This template is used to tag articles which satisfy the following three criteria:
 * 1) The subject is non-fictional.
 * 2) It is associated with a fixed location on Earth.
 * 3) The article lacks geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) because the subject's location is disputed or unknown.

Evidence that the subject's location is disputed or unknown might include:
 * a reliable source says the subject's location is unknown AND no reliable source gives a specific location for it, or
 * reliable sources provide two or more contradictory locations.

If further research seems likely to uncover definite coordinates, do not apply this template; use Coord missing instead.

If the subject's location is known approximately, it may still be better to provide rough coordinates using Coord than to apply this template.

Parameters

 * countryname:


 * should be one of the country names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country. Where a particular country cannot be identified, one of the continent names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by continent should be used instead.


 * Note: this parameter is for future use. The template doesn't yet subcategorize articles by country or continent, but may begin doing so at a later date.
