Template:Mapgroup-item/doc

Documentation

This template will generate a {{marker}} and (optionally) a {{mapshape}} that will be displayed on a map generated by {{mapgroup}}. It is particularly useful for things like maps of neighboring cities or regions.

Parameters

• name: (Required) The name to display in the marker link.
• wikidata: (Optional) The wikidata ID for the item being displayed. If a value is specified and if that Wikidata ID is associated to an OpenStreetMap record then a {{mapshape}} will appear on the map highlighting the area corresponding to the destination. See the documentation for {{mapshape}} for more details on using Wikidata IDs with dynamic maps.
• lat: (Optional) If specified, this latitude value will be used to place the marker pin on the map. If the wikidata parameter is specified then the coordinates associated with the wikidata item will be used instead.
• long: (Optional) If specified, this longitude value will be used to place the marker pin on the map. If the wikidata parameter is specified then the coordinates associated with the wikidata item will be used instead.
• fill: (Optional) If a Wikidata ID is used then this value specifies the fill color to use for the mapshape. Color must a valid web color, for example #ff0000 for red. If no value is specified then a default is used.
• marker-type: (Optional) The type of marker tag to generate. By default the "vicinity" type is used if no value is specified. See the "type" documentation in {{marker}} for more details.
• group: (Optional) The internal group name for the map. This parameter is generally only needed if more than one {{mapgroup}} is being used in an article. See the documentation for Module:Map for more details on how the group parameter can be used.

Example

Example demonstrating a basic {{mapgroup}}, including two items:

{{mapgroup
| name=[[Merced County]]'s neighboring counties
| height=300
| target=Q109690
}}
* {{mapgroup-item|name=[[Stanislaus County]]|wikidata=Q108503}}
* {{mapgroup-item|name=[[Fresno County]]|wikidata=Q271915}}

...which produces:

• 1 Stanislaus County
• 2 Fresno County
