For use with {{tl|coord}}; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Parameters for details.

• For cities: region:US-MI_type:city_scale:30000_source:GNIS
• For rivers: region:US-MI_type:river_source:GNIS|name=

For example:

• {{coord|43|03|01|N|85|33|01|W|region:US-MI_type:city_scale:30000_source:GNIS|name=NAME}}
• {{coord|45|40|28|N|84|35|48|W|region:US-MI_type:river_source:GNIS|name=Little Black River (source)}}

Notes:

• If scale is omitted, default for city is 1:100,000
• For smaller places like unincorporated communities, which are often no more than a cross-roads, use 30,000 or even 10,000
• For townships, use type:adm2nd for default scale of 1:300000

{{tl|link-interwiki}}

;Blank

:{{link-interwiki|en= |lang= |lang_title= }}

;Description

:{{tlx|link-interwiki|en{{=}}English language redlink article|lang{{=}}two letter language code|lang_title{{=}}foreign language article title}}

For example,

:{{tlx|link-interwiki|en{{=}}The Wave (German radio)|lang{{=}}de|lang_title{{=}}The Wave (Radio)}}

produces

:{{Interlanguage link multi|The Wave (German radio)|de|3=The Wave (Radio)}}

There is also an optional parameter |en_text= to display text for the English-language link, that is different than the English article name, but I don't expect that to be useful for redlinks to not yet existent articles.
