Wikipedia:Mapframe maps in infoboxes

1. Check the chosen infobox template for potential, such as:
2. * presence of other map parameters
3. * how often the infobox already has infobox mapframe transcluded manually, such as with a search engine query with hastemplate: and similar search terms, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?go=Go&search=hastemplate%3A%22Infobox+military+installation%22+hastemplate%3A%22Infobox+mapframe%22&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 like this] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hastemplate%3A%22Infobox+military+installation%22+insource%3A%2F%5C%7B%5C%7Binfobox+mapframe%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 like this]
4. Examine the infobox talk page for any signs of map-related controversy
5. If the latter check brings up anything, propose any changes first, and notify relevant wikiprojects
6. Discuss any implementation nuances with infobox users/maintainers
7. * Positioning inside the template
8. * Whether to render wikidata coordinates / shapes by default
9. * If there are multiple coordinates parameters, the choice of which one is rendered by mapframe
10. * Matching widths of maps and images
11. * Marker icon
12. * Mapping of length/area parameters
13. Update the template sandbox, per normal template editing
14. Update the template test cases to make sure mapframe rendering is tested, esp. if defaults are changed
15. Check for manual transclusions which don't use an identifiable map parameter, but rather some free-form parameter, which in turn may have to be fixed manually (to avoid mapframe duplication)
16. * If they exist and you can't attend to them all immediately, disable the mapframe by default on them with something like this in an onByDefault check:

::: {{#invoke:String|match|s= {{{embedded|}}}{{{module|}}} |pattern= mapframe |ignore_errors= true}}

1. Update the live template
2. Update the documentation
3. Update the tracking table below
4. Update any manual invocations of infobox mapframe to new syntax
5. Check :Category:Pages with script errors for any fresh errors related to the change. Typical issues include:
6. * coordinates present but not formatted with {{tl|coord}} - make sure template specifies it as such and fix broken call sites
7. * broken coordinates parameters
