Module:Wp/igl/Infobox mapframe/doc

Usage

Module that automatically makes a mapframe suitable for an infobox automatically, with minimal user input.

Generic usage

Just use the template

ERROR: This page is using an unprefixed version of template {{Tl}}

Create {{Wp/igl/Tl}} instead and replace all occurences of {{Tl}} in Wp/igl/ prefixed pages by that.

You may like to check 1 template in Category:Wp/igl/Templates using unprefixed template Tl first to remove all occurences from those templates which will fix the pages containing those templates too.

{{Infobox mapframe}}, following the documentation there. This module may also be imported to another Lua module.

Automatic maps in infoboxes

Example edits: Template:Infobox prison, Template:Infobox prison/doc

Edit the infobox template (or its sandbox). Add lines like the following examples to the infobox. Replace numbers (Template:Kbd, or Template:Kbd to Template:Kbd), with the appropriate number based on how many other image or data parameters are already present.

If placing near the top of infobox	If placing at/near the bottom of the infobox
| image4 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto}} | caption4 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|autocaption}}	| header97 = {{#if:{{{mapframe|}}}|Location}} | data98 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto}} | data99 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|autocaption}}

If the template has a {{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters}}, add the following parameters:

| mapframe | mapframe-area_km2 | mapframe-area_mi2 | mapframe-caption | mapframe-coord | mapframe-coordinates | mapframe-custom | mapframe-frame-coord | mapframe-frame-coordinates | mapframe-frame-height | mapframe-frame-width | mapframe-geomask | mapframe-geomask-fill | mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity | mapframe-geomask-stroke-color | mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour | mapframe-geomask-stroke-width | mapframe-height | mapframe-id | mapframe-length_km | mapframe-length_mi | mapframe-marker | mapframe-marker-color | mapframe-marker-colour | mapframe-point | mapframe-shape | mapframe-shape-fill | mapframe-shape-fill-opacity | mapframe-stroke-color | mapframe-stroke-colour | mapframe-stroke-width | mapframe-switcher | mapframe-width | mapframe-wikidata | mapframe-zoom 

Once this is done, the above parameters will be available to users of the template.

• Defaults values for these parameters can also be specified in the Template:Kbd calls above, e.g. {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=library}} means that the library marker will be used, unless a different value is passed in to the template.
• The maps are off by default, which means maps will not be displayed unless Template:Para is present in the template call. To turn maps on by default, in the Template:Kbd calls above add Template:Para – which means maps will be displayed unless Template:Para is present in the template call. Template:Kbd can also be set to a conditional, such as if another parameters is present, e.g. Template:Para
• Add the new parameters to the document. You can use Template:Tlx. Specify default values (if any are used in the Template:Kbd calls) using by adding parameters in the form Template:Ttparameter-nameTemplate:Ttvalue. The default output is shown here collapsed:

• Parameters can also be added to the TemplateData can also be added by copy-pasting from Template:Edit
