ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Location map/doc
This is a documentation subpage for ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Location map It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು page. |
This template is used on ೪,೬೦,೦೦೦+ pages, or roughly 324% 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: |
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
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿMap 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
. Usingwidth=200px
will usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Usewidth=200
. - To create a map with more than one location mark use
{{Location map+}}
or{{Location map many}}
.

Parameters
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿMap 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
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿThere 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
- Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - another search that might help

Examples
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿDefault width and float, no label, default caption (decimal coordinates)
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿNote: 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 | Croatia | alt = Pag is on an island. | lat_deg = 44.44 | lon_deg = 15.05 }}
Map with the default caption (degrees/minutes)
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿNote: When a label is specified, the default caption is "Label text (Map name)", seen as "Pag (Croatia)" in this example.
{{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.
{{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{{Location map | Croatia | width = 200 | 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 | position = right }}
Caption, label_size, background, mark, marksize
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ{{Location map | Italy | width = 200 | float = right | caption = Location of Rimini in Italy | alt = Map of Italy with mark showing location of Rimini | label = Rimini | label_size = 150 <!--150% of normal size--> | position = bottom | background = orange | mark = Orange_pog.svg | marksize = 12 <!--size in pixels--> | lat_deg = 44.05 | lon_deg = 12.57 }}
AlternativeMap parameter
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ{{Location map | Italy | AlternativeMap = Italy location map.svg | width = 200 | float = right | caption = Location of Rome in Italy | alt = Map of Italy with mark showing location of Rome | label = Rome | lat_deg = 41.9 | lon_deg = 12.5 }}
Relief parameter
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿAlso demonstrates automatic positioning of label to the left, due to far right position of mark.
{{Location map | Nepal | relief = yes | caption = Location of Biratnagar Airport in Nepal | alt = Biratnagar Airport is located in southeastern Nepal | label = Biratnagar | mark = Airplane silhouette.svg | marksize = 10 | lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 28 | lat_sec = 53 | lat_dir = N | lon_deg = 87 | lon_min = 15 | lon_sec = 50 | lon_dir = E }}
{{Location map | Nepal | relief = | caption = Location of Biratnagar Airport in Nepal | alt = Biratnagar Airport is located in southeastern Nepal | label = Biratnagar | mark = Airplane silhouette.svg | marksize = 10 | lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 28 | lat_sec = 53 | lat_dir = N | lon_deg = 87 | lon_min = 15 | lon_sec = 50 | lon_dir = E }}
Same coordinates on different maps
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ{{Location map | UK Scotland | relief = 1 | width = 180 | float = right | caption = Lockerbie in Scotland, UK | alt = Lockerbie is in southern Scotland. | label = Lockerbie | mark = Blue_pog.svg | marksize = 9 | lat_deg = 55 | lat_min = 07 | lat_sec = 16 | lat_dir = N | lon_deg = 03 | lon_min = 21 | lon_sec = 19 | lon_dir = W }}
