Creates a chain of locations using Structured data, starting with the location given in location of creation, and ending with the country. Intended for use directly beneath {{Information}}, above {{Location}} if present.

Usage

For example: {{SDC location chain|flag=Ireland}}, when placed in File:Erinaceus europaeus - formicacid - 44557453.jpg, returns: Greatwood  (Greatwood→County Kilkenny→Leinster→Ireland). The two main advantages of this template are:
1: It uses Structured Data, so it can be easily automated.
