Mapframe maps

[edit source]
  • Basic parameters:
    • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no, but also modified by onByDefault
      • Internal onByDefault parameter: yes, unless any of these are present: |map=, |pushpin_map=, |map_type=, |image_map=
    • mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or 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 d:Property:P625
    • mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
    • mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
    • mapframe-wikidata – Set to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">yes</syntaxhighlight> to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
  • Customise which features are displayed:
    • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">none</syntaxhighlight>. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">on</syntaxhighlight>. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">none</syntaxhighlight>. Force display of shape by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">on</syntaxhighlight>. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">inverse</syntaxhighlight>. Default: not specified

    • mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for, P131 for P131). Default: not specified
    • mapframe-switcher – set to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">auto</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">geomasks</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">zooms</syntaxhighlight> to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
      • <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">auto</syntaxhighlight> – switch geomasks found in P276 and P131statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.

Information Note: 'Infobox government agency' is discouraged as the sole infobox for certain government bodies, such as law enforcement, military units, space programs, and a few others because they all have infoboxes specializing in those subjects. However, practical embedding of infoboxes is encouraged.
