 Wikivoyage listing wrapper templates

The {{Listing}} template is responsible for displaying information about individual local entities that travellers may interact with in a concise, uniform text format, and integrating it into other page elements that organize them using different formats (such as geographical points on a map). It is the generic "backend" used by the all of the type-specific wrapper templates linked above, which preprocess the data supplied for listings before passing them on to this template, silently fixing common mistakes and improving consistency with Wikivoyage standards and policies. (Such as Eat listings use of price range symbols instead of currency values and never having checkout times, and so much more.)
Usage
It is strongly advised that all editors use the applicable wrapper template instead of this one whenever possible. Of course, unusual cases will always exist in which their implicit assumptions prevent a demonstrably superior end result and this template should be invoked explicitly. As always, use your best judgment and don't be afraid to ask for help on Template talk:Listing if things go awry. This template may be fundamentally more versatile and fully-featured than its wrappers, this is achieved at the expense of usability and resilience, and a keen attention to detail is called for when used directly.

There are no mandatory fields from a technical standpoint, but absent unusual circumstances, the |name= parameter should be treated as such, and both the |url= and |wikidata= parameters should also receive values if the listed entity has an official web or Wikidata page, respectively.

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 (as measured and reported by most GPS receptors). Both are indicated in signed decimal form in degrees (using only an optional leading "+" or "-" sign, basic Latin digits, and "." as decimals separator), see example.
- Do not specify any hemisphere name of abbreviation, use an optional leading sign instead: the "-" sign is required in the southern and western hemispheres; negative longitudes are used in the eastern Pacific Ocean, all the Americas, most of the northern Atlantic Ocean including Iceland, Ireland, western UK and France, the Iberian peninsula and north-western Africa).
- Their value should be in the range from -90 to 90 inclusively for the latitude, and in the range from -180 to 180 for the longitude. The geographic poles conventionally use the arbitrary longitude 0.
- However, world maps rendered for the most commonly used 2D projections (Mercator-like, preserving angles and shapes but not relative surfaces) will not display positions at polar latitudes (below roughly -87.5 degrees, or above roughly 87.5 degrees). Some other maps may render all positions, using projections suitable for specific regions (with their own limits).
Notes
- This template also allows the insertion of an "edit" link near the end of the generated text. Clicking on it will open a custom form editor to fill in the existing or missing values for supported field values.
- This "edit" link is added by a javascript extension tool (enabled on Wikivoyage), but it will not be visible in simple browsers (for old smartphones or some TV sets) that don't support Javascript, or in any browser whose Javascript has been disabled, or in any page which is not in the main namespace for articles (so it is also not visible in this template documentation page).
- Though this template calls {{Marker}} to create a listing's header (item type, number, name, URL), that template's
|zoom=and|group=parameters are not passed through to it, and this, are unsupported. - If
|wikidata=is defined and the Wikidata item has an accurate value for the coordinate location property, it will be used as|lat=and|long=of this template, unless they are explicitly given; please do confirm their accuracy. They can be copied either way by the listing editor's "sync shared fields" functionality.
