Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
name	Name of the institution, museum, gallery or collection, which will be shown in the uncollapsed part of the template (most of the time name should be the same as page name): Provide links to Wikipedia articles and/or Commons galleries - this is important to avoid disambiguation problems and to allow users to easily find more information. Best solution is to use {{LangSwitch}} to show the name in user's own language and provide link to an article in user's wikipedia. See here for more info. Avoid using Language templates in this section. Corresponds to the Wikidata label and sitelink		empty	required
parent	Name of parent institution. Corresponds to P749 (parent company) on Wikidata		parent organization (P749)	optional
native name	Official name of the institution in the native language Corresponds to P1448 (official name) on Wikidata		empty	optional
location	Institution location: usually a city name with a link to the location's page: Template automatically places location inside {{city|city-name}} template which works as a lookup table connecting multiple spellings of cities to autotranslated city templates, its own translations or to the Commons galleries. If no suitable links are found than string is unchanged. One can use one of autotranslated city templates (see Category:Multilingual tags: Locations). Those templates show the city name in the language of the viewer and provide links to the wikipedia pages in that language. One can also use direct links to a gallery or Wikipedia article Use {{RelativeLocation}} for relative locations, like "A near B". Avoid using Language templates, like {{de|Paris}}, or {{LangSwitch}} template. In case of small little known institutions, without Wikipedia articles of website addresses, this field could be used to provide street address using {{Building address}} template. Corresponds to P276 (location) with fallback to P131 (is in the administrative territorial entity) on Wikidata		empty	optional
latitude	The latitude coordinate of the institution. Corresponds to P625 (coordinate location) on Wikidata		empty	optional
longitude	The longitude coordinate of the institution. Corresponds to P625 (coordinate location) on Wikidata		empty	optional
OSM	Link to OpenStreetMap way page. For example if OSM=58975404, then clicking OpenStreetMap icon will link to www.openstreetmap.org/?way=58975404 Not sure what this corresponds to on Wikidata. Maybe P402 or P1282		empty	optional
geopoly	Polygon coordinates in lat1,lon1,height1 lat2,lon2,height2 lat3,lon3,height3 format. Clicking Google icon will link to polygon drawn in Google Maps. Not available on Wikidata (yet).		empty	optional
established	Date of the institution's establishment. Example: 1997-03-31 Corresponds to P571 (date of foundation or creation) on Wikidata		empty	optional
website	Link to the institution external website Corresponds to official website (P856) on Wikidata		empty	optional
image	Image of the institution Corresponds to image (P18) on Wikidata		empty	optional
homecat	Institution home category - used to categorize the institution page without categorizing images using it. Institution pages should be categorized using Homecat parameter only. Please do not add categories directly since those would be added to all the files and categories using the template. Corresponds to Commons category (P373) on Wikidata		empty	required
linkback	name of specialized Institution: page used to provide a link back to it. If provided than an icon will be shown in the top line, after the name. Clicking this icon will bring user to the proper Institution: page. Corresponds to Commons Institution page (P1612) on Wikidata		empty	optional
authority	As of May 2016 it is recommended to add "Wikidata" parameter and add any authority control parameters to wikidata instead of Institution template. Then proper authority control information will be displayed. For older templates, this field was used for Authority control data displayed using a call to {{Authority control|...|bare=1}}. See for example Institution:Bibliothèque Municipale, Saint-Germain-en-Laye.		empty	deprecated
inventory	Link to the institution or museum inventory page, like Inventory Glyptothek (München) No corresponding Wikidata property (yet).		empty	optional
wikidata	Link to the Wikidata item of the institution, like q1. That's the item where we're grabbing al the Wikidata information from		empty	optional
option	Template {{Institution}} is mostly used to create custom templates in "Institution" namespace specific to a single institution. Option parameter should always be set to |option = {{{1|}}} and is used to pass information from users of the custom templates to the {{Institution}} template code. For example if one calls {{Institution:Louvre|1234}}, the "1234" will be passed as argument option to the {{Institution}} template. That mechanism is used extensively with {{Creator}} templates, but in case of {{Institution}} templates it is used at the moment only to pass information if template should be initially collapsed or not. The wikitext {{Institution:Louvre|collapse}} will create collapsed Institution:Louvre template.		empty	required
