Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
{{{1}}}		the unnamed 1st parameter contains the location of the map definition (if Spain, then use values from Module:Location map/data/Spain)
lat	0	latitude (decimal format; enter negative numbers for southern latitude)
lat_deg	0	latitude degrees
lat_min	0	latitude minutes
lat_sec	0	latitude seconds
lat_dir	N	latitude: N = north (default), S = south
long	0	longitude (decimal format; enter negative numbers for western longitude)
lon_deg	0	longitude degrees
lon_min	0	longitude minutes
lon_sec	0	longitude seconds
lon_dir	E	longitude: E = east (default), W = west
label	{{PAGENAME}}	label text
label_size	90	label font size as a percentage (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger)
position, or pos	right	label position relative to the mark: left, right, top, bottom, none
background	transparent	label background color (background-color: {};)
mark	Red pog.svg	marker image file name ([[Image: {}]])
marksize	8	marker size in pixels, omit px ([[Image: {}px]] font-size: {}px;)
width	auto-size	map width - omit "px" or will stretch across page (image: {}px width: ({}+2)px;)
scale	1.0	map scale factor - relative to each user's preference setting for image-size (same as upright=x).
float	right	position of map on page: left, right, center, none (float: {}; clear: {};
border	#CCCCCC	border color or none (border: {};)
caption	"Marker text (location map name)"	map caption; for no caption enter "caption="
alt	empty	alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT
image	{{Location map {{{1}}}\|image}}	Alternative map file name without "File:" ([[Image: {}]]), must use same border coordinates as the default map

Creating new map templates

Find an appropriate blank map in equirectangular projection.
Create a template named Template:Location map location (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).

Examples

Default width, float, label position, and caption (decimal coordinates)

Pag

Pag (Croatia)

Map with the default caption (degrees/minutes)

Pag

Pag (Croatia)

This example shows a green circle ("Image:Green pog.svg"), with scale=0.75 to set the map width to 75% (3/4) of each user's image-size setting. The 2 lines are indented for position/mark, to show a way to emphasize the details about the label & marker.

  
{{Location map/sandbox quick | Croatia
| lat_deg = 44 | lat_min = 26
| lon_deg = 15 | lon_min = 3
| label = Pag
  | position = right
  | mark = Green pog.svg <!--green dot-->
| scale = 0.75
| float = right
| alt = Pag is on an island.
}}

Map with a custom caption and text background

Imotski

Imotski in Croatia

This example sets the label color by "background = #FFFFDD" and sets the caption=xx for the caption below the map. The width=200 sets the image width to 200px for all readers, rather than scale=0.75 as set to 75% of each user's preference setting.

  
{{Location map/sandbox quick | Croatia
| lat = 43.44
| long = 17.21
| label = Imotski
  | position = right
  | background = #FFFFDD
| width = 200
| float = right
| caption = Imotski in Croatia
| alt = Imotski is in Croatia.
}}

Map with enlarged marker and label

Pag

Pag Island in Croatia

This example shows a much larger label (double size, label_size=200), with a larger marker set to marksize=14, and with the map width=200.

  
{{Location map/sandbox quick | Croatia
| lat = 44.44
| long = 15.05
| label = Pag
| label_size = 200 <!--200% larger-->
| position = right
| background = #FFFFDD
| marksize = 14
| width = 200
| float = right
| caption = Pag Island in Croatia
| alt = Pag is on an island
}}

Design issues

Each of the mapper templates named as "Location_map_XX" (such as Module:Location map/data/Africa) contains a map-image name, latitude range, longitude range, or x/y skew factors, as the details hidden by data encapsulation (computer science). Some mapper templates treat latitude/longitude as straight lines (Mercator projections), whereas other mappers have skew factors for maps with curved lines. Hence, each of those templates is not a "fork" of {{Location map}} but instead, they are accessor functions which access the map-border coordinates or skew-factors as shared data, rather than being repeated data in each article using Module:Location map/data/Italy. If Italy officially changes its map borders, then only that one mapper template need be changed, and only those Italy-related articles will be reformatted. The total of 20,000+ articles using {Location_map} will NOT be reformatted when someone updates each particular "Location_map_XX" and so the impact on Wikipedia server work is reduced, as roughly 450 times faster, by having 450 separate mapper templates.
