This template is used for implementing generic business listings. There are a few attraction-specific type template which should be used instead, if applicable:

* {{listing
| type=TYPE OF LISTING (see, do, buy, eat, drink, sleep)
| name=NAME OF LISTING (REQ)
| alt=ALTERNATE NAME
| url=URL OF LISTING'S WEBSITE including '''''http://''''' at the start
| email=EMAIL ADDRESS OF LISTING
| address=ADDRESS OF LISTING
| lat=LATITUDINAL POSITION OF THE LISTING
| long=LONGITUDINAL POSITION OF THE LISTING
| directions=SHORT DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO GET TO LISTING
| phone=PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT LISTING
| tollfree=TOLL-FREE PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT LISTING
| fax=FAX NUMBER TO CONTACT LISTING
| hours=OPERATING HOURS OF LISTING
| price=ADMISSION PRICE FOR THE LISTING
| checkin=CHECKIN TIME (SLEEP LISTINGS ONLY)
| checkout=CHECKOUT TIME (SLEEP LISTINGS ONLY)
| lastedit=DATE OF LAST EDIT (yyyy-mm-dd)
| content=BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE LISTING
}}

Only name is mandatory, but you should always provide more information.

Some caveats:

  • Unlike the old XML listing syntax, do not use quotation marks around your entries.
  • "lat" and "long" are for WGS84 coordinates' latitude and longitude, respectively. Decimal form, see example.

The template emits an hCard microformat.
