  • {{Coord}} for documentation on the Coord template options and parameters; Including: "region:XX-YY";
    • When country but not state or province are known, then code as region:XX
      • Where:
        • "XX" should be replaced with the appropriate ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, and
        • "YY" with the corresponding ISO 3166-2 administrative subdivision code (typically a state or province abbreviation within the country)
      • CAUTION: When "region:XX-YY" is not properly coded or supplied, then Wiki ToolServer map queries perform a database lookup for an unknown region:, which can time-out and display a "Fastcgi Protocol Error" message instead of the geohack/GeoTemplate map services page. See {{coord}} for more information.
