Template:Marker/doc

• Function: This template automatically numbers listings (Points of Interest) which have geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) given and is typically used in-line in the prose of articles.
• 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
    • |long longitude of listing, valid range: -180.0 to 180.0; specify NA to disallow fetching the value from wikidata
• Optional parameters:
  • |zoom zoom level for the full-screen map that opens when the listing number is clicked – default=17, valid range: 1 to 18 (1=Earth, 18=city block)
  • |url name of listing becomes a link to the specified URL
  • |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.
• Microformat: The template emits an hCard microformat.
• Examples:
  • {{marker|type=see|name=Museum|lat=51.47766|long=0.00115}}
  • {{marker|type=do|name=Theme Park|lat=51.47766|long=0.00115|zoom=15|url=http://www.example.com/|image=Legoland.jpg}}
• Associated template:
  • Template:Listing for a full listing
  • Module:TypeToColor converts the "type" value passed to this template to a color
  • Module:Marker
