Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on ೪,೬೦,೦೦೦+ pages, or roughly 329% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Location map (sandbox)

This template generates a location map as a composite image consisting of a map and a location mark. Optionally a label and caption can be added.

Usage[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Map image files are not accessed directly but by using an auxiliary map definition. For example, if the first unnamed parameter supplied to this template is "Japan", then this template uses the entry for Japan in Module:Location map/data/Japan if it exists, or {{Location map Japan}} otherwise, one of which contains the data needed to generate the composite image.

Please note

Assigning any value to the parameter caption causes the map to be displayed as a thumbnail image. If this parameter is not declared, the template will generate a default caption.
The coordinates are not checked. If the coordinates specified fall outside the area covered by the map image, the location mark will not display inside the image; however, it may be displayed somewhere else on the page.
Do not use px. Using width=200px will usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Use width=200.
To create a map with more than one location mark use {{Location map+}} or {{Location map many}}.

Parameters[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Map display parameters
Parameter	Description
`{{{1}}}`	Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or `{{Location map England}}` otherwise. See the examples below.
`width`	Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values. Do not include `px`, for example: `width=300`, not `width=300px`.
`default_width`	Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates e.g. place infoboxes. The default value is 240. Do not include `px`. This value will be multiplied by the `defaultscale` parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if `default_width=200` is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200 * 0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Template:Location map Thailand).
`float`	Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are `left`, `right`, `center` and `none`. The default is `right`.
`border`	Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see web colors). If set to `none`, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
`caption`	The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If `caption` is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If `caption` is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the `label` parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the `name` parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
`alt`	Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT.
`relief`	Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as `image1`, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief.
`AlternativeMap`	Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at Location map+/AlternativeMap.
`overlay_image`	Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
Label and mark parameters
Parameter	Description
`label`	The text of the label to display next to the mark. A wiki link can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker.
`label_size`	The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 90. Do not include `%`, for example: `label_size=80`, not `label_size=80%`. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark.
`label_width`	The width to use for the label, given as an em size. The default is 6. Do not include `em`, for example: `label_width=7`, not `label_width=7em`.
`position`	The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are `left`, `right`, `top`,`bottom` and `none`. This defaults to either `left` or `right`, depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image. When `position=none` any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption.
`background`	The background color to use for the label. See Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
`mark`	The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
`marksize`	The size of the mark in pixels. The default is 8. Do not include `px`, for example: `marksize=10`, not `marksize=10px`.
`link`	Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. Do not include `[[]]`, for example: `link=Yellowstone National Park`, not `link=[[Yellowstone National Park]]`.
`lat_deg`	Required. The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
`lat_min`	The minutes of latitude.
`lat_sec`	The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary.
`lat_dir`	N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for southern latitude).
`lon_deg`	Required. The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
`lon_min`	The minutes of longitude.
`lon_sec`	The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary.
`lon_dir`	E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime Meridian. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for western longitude).

Available maps[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

There are over 1000 maps available. To find other maps:

Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ - Checked before a map template is searched for. New maps should be created here rather than creating new templates.
Template:Location map/List - some of the items listed here are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected
ವರ್ಗ:Location map templates - templates sorted by category
Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - a search that might help

Examples[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Default width and float, no label, default caption (decimal coordinates)[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Note: When a label is not specified, the default caption is "Page name (Map name)", so if this example was viewed on a page named Pag, the default caption would be "Pag (Croatia)". Likewise, on a page named Pag (town), the default caption would be "Pag (town) (Croatia)".

Location map/sandbox (Croatia)

{{Location map | Croatia
| alt     = Pag is on an island.
| lat_deg = 44.44
| lon_deg = 15.05
}}

Map with the default caption (degrees/minutes)[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Note: When a label is specified, the default caption is "Label text (Map name)", seen as "Pag (Croatia)" in this example.

Pag

Pag (Croatia)

{{Location map | Croatia
| width = 200
| float = right
| alt = Pag is on an island.
| label = Pag
| position = right
| mark = Green pog.svg <!--green dot-->
| lat_deg = 44 | lat_min = 26 <!-- default: lat_dir = N -->
| lon_deg = 15 | lon_min = 3  <!-- default: lon_dir = E -->
}}

When |position=none, the label text is not displayed next to the mark but is still used in the default caption and default alt text.

Pag (Croatia)

{{Location map | Croatia
| width = 200
| float = right
| label = Pag
| position = none
| mark = Green pog.svg <!--green dot-->
| lat_deg = 44 | lat_min = 26 <!-- default: lat_dir = N -->
| lon_deg = 15 | lon_min = 3  <!-- default: lon_dir = E -->
}}

Mark outside of map border, no caption[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]

Rimini

{{Location map | Croatia

| float    = right
| caption  =
| alt      = Rimini in Italy (outside the map)
| lat_deg  = 44.05
| lon_deg  = 12.57 <!--outside map's left border at 13.1-->
| outside  = 1 <!-- we're aware the point is outside the map, so suppress the warning category -->
| label    = Rimini
