Bespoke numbering systems
If a country has its own numbering system (such as the Netherlands), the country name, ID number and a link (optional) may be specified.
|country=|countrynumber=|countrylink=
Fetch wikidata
To fetch specific fields from Wikidata (and no others) the |fetchwikidata= can be used. For example, to fetch the date of construction and the date of deactivation, use:
|fetchwikidata=constructed,yeardeactivated
If this parameter is not specified then all available fields will be fetched.
To suppress certain fields (but fetch others), the |suppressfields= can be used. For example, to suppress the range of the lighthouse and its intensity, use:
|suppressfields=range,intensity
If this parameter is not specified then no fields will be suppressed.
By default, the template will use the Wikidata item associated with the article. In some cases (for example, if the article is about an island but contains some information about a lighthouse on that island) you will need to specify the Wikidata Q-identifier using |qid=. For example:
|qid=Q28333621
Embedding other templates
The |module= parameter can be used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules):
{{Infobox lighthouse
| name =
...
| module =
{{Infobox example
| embed = yes <!-- or 'child=yes' or 'subbox=yes' -->
...
}}
}}
Full list
Parameters left blank will not be shown. All of the parameters are text fields so you can, for example
- list in a span of years:
|yeardeactivated=1952–1980 - provide explanation:
|yearlit=1880 (current tower) - give more than one answer:
|fogsignal=Bell (1880)<br />Horn 1 every 20s (1915)

Coordinates
For coordinates, use |coordinates= with {{Coord}}. See the Coord template's documentation for details on usage. For example, |coordinates={{coord|1|2|N|3|4|E|type:landmark|display=inline,title}}
Maps
A Mapframe map is automatically included if:
- There are coordinates specified on the page's Wikidata item
- It has not be turned off by setting
|mapframe=no
The following optional parameters can then be used to adjust the map
|mapframe-zoom=zoom level (default is 10)|mapframe-width=and|mapframe-height=for the map size (defaults are 270 and 200)|mapframe-marker=for the marker icon (default is no marker icon)- either
|mapframe-marker-color=or|mapframe-marker-colour=for the marker colour (hex triplet, default is#5E74F3) |mapframe-caption=caption below the map|mapframe-lat=and|mapframe-long=(or|mapframe-latitude=and|mapframe-longitude=) – alternate initial latitude and longitude for the map, instead of the lighthouse coordinates. Specify as a decimal number.
