Template:Infobox mapframe/doc

Template page

This template generates a mapframe map, suitable for infoboxes, with minimal user input. This template only works with single features (points, lines, or shapes); use {{maplink}} if more advanced options, such as displaying multiple features, are required.

If coordinates are not supplied, they will be fetched from the page's Wikidata item. In such cases, if |point= is not set, then a point feature marker is displayed at those coordinates unless the Wikidata item has an Lua error in Module:Wd at line 621: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P402) specified.

Usage

Note: When in mainspace, parameter |id= is not required (except to use a different page's data)

Basic

{{Infobox mapframe}}

When used without parameters, or with only |id=, the map will display either a shape, line, or point feature, depending on the data available on Wikidata and OpenStreetMap.

Basic usage examples

Point feature (Wikidata coordinates):

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q7270550}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Line feature:

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q1318331}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Shape feature:

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q61}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Using specified coordinates instead of Wikidata

Point feature only, no shapes or lines:

{{Infobox mapframe |coord=}}

Point feature and shape/line feature if available:

{{Infobox mapframe |wikidata=yes |coord=}}

Specify coordinates using the {{Coord}} templates, e.g. |coord={{Coord|32.1|S|116.2|E}}

  • If |coord= is specified, then by default only that coordinate will be displayed (no line or shape features)
  • If |coord= is specified and |wikidata=yes is used, then those coordinate will be displayed, along with any line or shape features linked to the Wikidata item.
Specified coordinates examples

Point feature (with coordinates specified, no shape/line feature from Wikidata item):

{{infobox mapframe |coord={{coord|31|56|S|115|58|E}} }}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Point feature (with coordinates specified, along with shape/line feature from Wikidata item):

{{infobox mapframe |wikidata=yes |coord={{coord|31|56|S|115|58|E}} }}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Customizing which features are displayed

Inverse shape

{{Infobox mapframe |shape=inverse}}

Replace the shape with an inverse-shape (geomask) by setting |shape=inverse

Inverse shape example
{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q61 |shape=inverse}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Turn point marker on or off

Force point marker to be displayed:

{{Infobox mapframe |point=on}}

Prevent point marker from being displayed:

{{Infobox mapframe |point=none}}

Turn shape feature off

Prevent shape feature from being displayed:

{{Infobox mapframe |shape=none}}

Turn line feature off

Prevent line feature from being displayed:

{{Infobox mapframe |line=none}}

Show a geomask from a related Wikidata item

{{Infobox mapframe |geomask=}}

Set |geomask= to a Wikidata item id (Q-number), or property id (P-number) such as Lua error in Module:Wd at line 621: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P17)

Geomask examples

Use the item linked from the Lua error in Module:Wd at line 621: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P17) statement as a geomask:

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q3239281 |geomask=P17}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Use the item Lua error in Module:Wd at line 621: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q1199) as a geomask:

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q3239281 |geomask=Q1199}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Determine zoom from object length or area

Use |length_km= or |length_mi= or |area_km2= or |area_mi2=

Zoom from length/area examples

Determine zoom from object length in kilometres or miles

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q1318331 |length_km=5.6}}
{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q1318331 |length_mi=3.5}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Determine zoom from object area in square kilometres or square miles

{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q100 |area_km2=232.14}}
{{Infobox mapframe |id=Q100 |area_mi2=89.63}}

Lua error in Module:Infobox_mapframe at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

  • Basic parameters:
    • id – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
    • coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata
    • wikidata – Set to yes to show shape/line features from the wikidata item, if any, when |coord= is set. Default: not specified
  • Customise which features are displayed:
  • Other optional parameters:
    • frame-width or width – Frame width. Default: 270
    • frame-height or height – Frame height. Default: 200
    • shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
    • shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
    • stroke-color or stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
    • stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features; default is "5". Default: 5
    • marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: not specified (i.e. blank)
      • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
    • marker-color or marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
    • geomask-stroke-color or geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
    • geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default: 2
    • geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
    • geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
    • zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
    • length_km or length_mi or area_km2 or area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified
    • frame-coordinates or frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
  • Deprecated parameters
    • frame-lat or frame-latitude – Alternate latitude coordinate for initial placement of map; default is derived from item coordinates
