Template:Marker

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Marker/doc. (edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

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}}
