This template is flexible enough to be used to provide a box containing an information summary for many historical and cultural locations, even though it was originally created for use with articles about ancient sites, excavations and constructions.
To use this template, simply copy the text from the box below, paste it at the top of your article, then complete any of the parameters which apply to the archaeological site which you are describing. Only a value for the "name" parameter is required; all others are optional.
Use as few or many of the following fields as you wish. Fields for which no information is provided will not be displayed in your infobox. The more fields for which you add information, the longer will be your infobox. Infoboxes which include data for a large number of fields can interfere with other elements of your article.

Many of the titles displayed are broadly inclusive, and the descriptions below are suggestions. If you cannot find a description which exactly matches the information you wish to present, find the closest match. Again, only the "name" parameter is required.

Up to 2 designations are allowed. Normally designations are listed in decreasing scope (i.e. an international designation first, followed by a national one, etc.). Each designation is represented by a colored bar, controlled by the {{Designation}} template. Though the Designation template is used in the background here, it can be used as a stand-alone template to create tables, lists, and even other infoboxes. For more information see Template:Designation/doc.
To display a designation, there are several templates. While no parameters are necessary, it is recommended that at least the designation date and reference number (if applicable) are known before adding the designation. For each designation (1-2) the following parameters may be used:
designation1 – Input the callname of the designation here. For a list of supported callnames, see Template:Designation/doc#Supported designations.
| designation1 = World Heritage Site
designation1_offname – The official name of the historic site, as listed in the register. If the official name is the same as the common name at the top of the infobox, this field is not necessary. If more than one name is included on the register, include all of them.
| designation1_offname = Obélisque antique
designation1_type – Some registers have certain types of designations (i.e. "Natural" and "Cultural", "Grade I" and "Grade II", etc.). If the type is closely associated with the designation, input that type here.
| designation1_type = Cultural
designation1_criteria – Some registers require sites to meet specific criteria (normally one or more items in a list) for inclusion. If the criteria is known, input it here.
| designation1_criteria = ii, iv
designation1_date – Date when the site received this designation. Normally this parameter needs a reference (make sure it is properly formatted).
| designation1_date = March 4, 1972<ref>{{cite web|...}}</ref>
delisted1_date – If a site has been removed from a designation's list, this is the date of delisting. Setting a value to this parameter causes the designation's color bar to turn grey and adds the word "Former" to the beginning. This parameter also needs a reference.
| delisted1_date = March 5, 1972<ref>{{cite web|...}}</ref>
designation1_partof – Some designations are part of larger designations (i.e. an individually designated building inside a designated district or an individually designated district in a designated city). For example, Ellis Island is a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument; both are listed as New York City Landmarks. If the larger designation is listed on the same register, include the name of the larger designation here. If a Wikipedia article exists about that designation, link to it.
| designation1_partof = [[Statue of Liberty National Monument]]
designation1_number – Most registers include unique reference numbers for each site so that they can be searched for more easily than by name (There may be two Jones Houses on the register, but they have unique reference numbers). Include this reference number here.
| designation1_number = 70010045
For designation 2, these same parameters are used, only "designation1" in all the parameters is replaced by "designation2", "designation3", etc.
Besides all of these hard-coded parameters there is also the possibility of adding up to 3 custom parameters for each designation. These can be used for information specific to that single register (such as "Region" for World Heritage Sites or "Multiple Property Submission" to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places). If there is anything extra needed to fully identify the designated site, include it here. designation1_free1name – The name (bolded part) of the 1st custom parameter you would like to identify.
| designation1_free1name = Region
designation1_free1value – The value to which you want to set the custom parameter.
| designation1_free1value = [[World Heritage Sites in Europe|Europe and North America]]
Up to three custom parameters can be named and defined for each parameter (| designation1_free2name =
, | designation1_free2value =
, etc.).
|other_designation=
may be used for designations not covered by the above.
These parameters are for adding numbers or labels that uniquely identify the site in a database (e.g. national registers, widely used catalogues and gazetteer). Where available they will automatically generate a link to the site's entry in that database. The following databases are currently supported:
|mapframe-geomask=

Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
