  • Usage: {{marker|type=|name=|wikidata=}}
  • Recommended parameters:
    • |type type of listing (see, do, buy, eat, drink, sleep, listing, around, city, other, go, vicinity) — defaults to "listing"
    • |name name of listing
    • Either
      • |wikidata if specified, the missing name/lat/long/image fields will be fetched from the respective wikidata entry fields
      or
      • |lat latitude of listing, valid range: -90.0 to 90.0; specify NA to disallow fetching the value from wikidata

    • |image name of image for the thumbnail that pops up when the map marker is clicked – "File:" prefix not necessary
    • |group a map group to which the marker should be added. This parameter should only be necessary when multiple dynamic maps are used on a page; in such cases, the {{mapframe}} template's "show" parameter should match the "group" parameter for its corresponding marker.
