Template talk:Location map/Info

Interwiki additions
Please take care when adding interwiki links to the template; particularly automatic additions. It seems to break the template every time. Kbthompson (talk) 20:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The interwiki links have been moved to Template:Location map/Info/doc and any changes can now be added there. I have already added the links shown above. -- Zyxw (talk) 08:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit request - display values of optional parameters
I would like to update this template to: The output for all other location map templates will not change. The required modifications can be copied from Template:Location map/Info/sandbox (diff). The following example shows the output of the current template next to the output of the sandbox version.
 * 1) display the value of any optional parameters if defined (crosses180, mark, and marksize are currently enabled in Location map but not displayed by this template)
 * 2) display the actual right longitude next to the defined value for maps which cross the 180th meridian (this template currently displays only the defined value, which is a not the actual longitude in templates using crosses180)
 * 3) include the standard documentation template

 * Seems uncontroversial and well-coded. ✅ &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:10, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit request - display optional skew parameters
I would like to update this template to display skew and lat_skew, if defined. Some location map templates define these values for use by Location map skew or Location map polarx. The required modifications can be copied from Template:Location map/Info/sandbox (diff).

Beautification of templates Location maps
I have a version in the sandbox that beautifies the display of x and y formulas. See Location map USA2 for an example of current messiness. The fix is a bit rough but it should work. I, also tweaked two label names and changed the display order of the x and y rows. I think it is common to express Cartesian coordinates as (x,y). The current diff is [ here]. Currently there are only 14 map templates that use the x, y syntax. I'll check them all for tidiness after the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droll (talk • contribs)

Edit request - display image2
This template currently displays the names for the parameters image (default), image1, and image2. However it only displays the actual images for image and image1. I am requesting an update that will also display the actual image for image2. The required modifications can be copied from Template:Location map/Info/sandbox (diff). Note that for uniformity I have placed each image below its name. The following example shows the output of the current template next to the output of the sandbox version. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! name !rowspan="4"| border coordinates ! map center ! image ! image1 ! image2

Changes to Location map/Info
I have some new markup in the sandbox. It uses in place of  so that the template can be transcluded on the template page or on a documentation sub-page. I did a couple of other minor tweaks as well. The back-link looks more like the real thing and I reduced the margin at the top of the table. Is the pp-template stuff necessary?

I used Location map Germany Baden-Württemberg relief as a testcase. It is new and currently unused. I'll make sure I fix it later. &#32;–droll &#91;chat&#93; 16:40, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Correct map image not being displayed
I have updated Location map Canada Toronto with a new, improved map image Toronto_map.png that actually includes the whole city of Toronto. However, the Location map/Info template does not display the new map image, rather the old one Location_map_Canada_Toronto.png. The Location map Canada Toronto template itself seems to be working correctly: the new map image is displayed on pages where it is transcluded (see list of articles to check). --papageno (talk) 15:59, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I fixed it. There is a bit of something unexpected when editing templates that use this template. You have to save your changes as you did then open the edit window a second temp and save it again even though you made no changes during the second edit. I don't fully understand why this is true.&#32;–droll &#91;chat&#93; 19:03, 27 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, that's kind of wierd! Thanks for your help. --papageno (talk) 06:05, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
