If the island is shared, then use "country 1" and "country 2" and list them alphabetically.
 +
 
 +
===Optional===
 +
* '''native name''' = only when the common name is different from the native name.  To remove the "native name" prefix, use '''local name''' instead.

 +
* '''coastline km''' or '''coastline mi''' or '''coastline m''' or '''coastline ft''' = the length of the coastline in either kilometres or miles or metres or feet without using {{tl|convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
 +
** '''coastline footnotes''' = references for coastline values using {{tag|ref}} format.
 +
* '''elevation m''' or '''elevation ft''' = the height of the highest point in either metres or feet without using {{tl|convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
 +
** '''elevation footnotes''' = references for elevation values using {{tag|ref}} format.
 +
* '''highest mount''' = name of the highest point on the island, if any

If the parameter, <code>caption</code>, is assigned a value the template will generate a thumbnail like image. If the parameter is not specified the template will generate a default caption. Neither of these options is desirable in an infobox. The <code>map caption</code> parameter can be used to display a caption below the map.  Using <code>float=center</code> causes the map to be centered in the infobox and should always be included. A width of 220px is generally recommended but this width should be reduced for maps that are taller than they are wide. Use <code>width=220</code> and not <code>width=220px</code>. See the template's [[template:Location map|documentation]] for more information.

Parameters

Mandatory

  • name = the official name (without the word island)
  • location = the sea in which the island is located
  • country = where the island is located. Either specify the standard three-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for the country, or a name by which the country is commonly known (e.g., "US", "South Korea", "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"). If the island is shared, then use "country 1" and "country 2" and list them alphabetically.

Optional

  • native name = only when the common name is different from the native name. To remove the "native name" prefix, use local name instead.

    • image alt = alt text for readers who cannot see the image; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images for more information
  • locator map = a locator map image (without the prefix "Image:") if there is one separate from the image used for the parameter "image name". The image will only be linked if it exists, which allows for use of the {{location map}} template. See below.
    • locator map size = size of the locator map in pixels (e.g., "300px")
  • coordinates = geographic coordinates: use {{coord}} with the parameter "display=inline,title"
  • archipelago = the name of the group of islands the island belongs to
  • total islands = total number of islands (for archipelagos only)
  • major islands = names of the major islands (for archipelagos only)
  • area km2 or area sqmi or area m2 or area sqft or area acre or area ha = the area in either square kilometres or square miles or square metres or square feet or hectares or acres without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
    • area footnotes = references for area values using Template:Tag format.
  • rank = the island's rank among other islands in the world in terms of size (1st being the largest island), as indicated in "List of islands by area"
  • length km or length mi or length m or length ft = the length in either kilometres or miles or metres or feet without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
    • length footnotes = references for length values using Template:Tag format.
  • width km or width mi or width m or width ft = the width in either kilometres or miles or metres or feet without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
    • width footnotes = references for width values using Template:Tag format.
  • coastline km or coastline mi or coastline m or coastline ft = the length of the coastline in either kilometres or miles or metres or feet without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
    • coastline footnotes = references for coastline values using Template:Tag format.
  • elevation m or elevation ft = the height of the highest point in either metres or feet without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically
    • elevation footnotes = references for elevation values using Template:Tag format.
  • highest mount = name of the highest point on the island, if any
  • Country heading = alternative title for the Country section (defaults value is "Country")
  • country admin divisions title = title for the administrative divisions
  • country admin divisions = the administrative divisions that govern the island
  • country admin divisions title 1 = (country admin divisions title 1)
  • country admin divisions 1 = (country admin divisions 1)
  • country admin divisions title 2 = (country admin divisions title 2)
  • country admin divisions 2 = (country admin divisions 2)
  • country capital

    • population footnotes = references for population values using Template:Tag format.
  • density km2 or density sqmi = the population density of the island expressed in either persons per square kilometres or persons per square miles without using {{convert}}; the conversion will be done automatically. For example if the number is 85, the output for density km2 is 85 /km2 (220 /sq mi).
    • density footnotes = references for density values using Template:Tag format.
  • ethnic groups = list the major ethnic groups making up the island's population
  • website =
  • additional info = a space for additional information at the bottom of the infobox

Location maps

The locator map parameter can be used with the {{Location map}} template to display a map with a location marker.

Santa Catalina Island
Script error
Geography
Location Pacific Ocean
Country
United States
{{Infobox islands
| name = Santa Catalina Island
| locator map = {{location map|California
  |caption= |float=center |width=220
  |lat_deg=33 |lat_min=23 |lat_sec=00 |lat_dir=N
  |lon_deg=118 |lon_min=25 |lon_sec=00 |lon_dir=W
  }}
| location         = [[Pacific Ocean]]
| country          = United States
}}

If the parameter, caption, is assigned a value the template will generate a thumbnail like image. If the parameter is not specified the template will generate a default caption. Neither of these options is desirable in an infobox. The map caption parameter can be used to display a caption below the map. Using float=center causes the map to be centered in the infobox and should always be included. A width of 220px is generally recommended but this width should be reduced for maps that are taller than they are wide. Use width=220 and not width=220px. See the template's documentation for more information.
