Maplink (or Mapframe) is a tool for creating interactive maps on Wikimedia projects.

Creating a map

{{Maplink|frame=yes|frame-width=230|frame-height=180|frame-coordinates={{Coord|40.428722|-79.976389}}|stroke-width=2|zoom=10|type=shape-inverse|stroke-color=#525252|id=Q1342|title=Pittsburgh|text=Example of a {{tl|Maplink}} map}}

{{mapbox|frame-coordinates={{Coord|40.428722|-79.976389}}|stroke-width=2|zoom=10|type=shape-inverse|stroke-color=#525252|id=Q1342|title=Pittsburgh|text=Example of a Mapbox map}}

In order to create an interactive map in an article, you need to have one of the below forms of data:

  • coordinates, either supplied or from Wikidata
  • a Wikidata ID for a shape or linear element
  • data stored in GeoJSON format in a data file
  • raw GeoJSON, preferably transcluded from another page

=Templates to choose from=

  • {{tl|Maplink}} {{ndash}} Automated, using OpenStreetMap maps
  • {{tl|Mapbox}} {{ndash}} Derivation just displaying a link to a map
  • {{tl|Infobox mapframe}} {{ndash}} Version with simpler code intended for infobox use
  • You may not need a template {{ndash}} if you are adding a map into one of these supported infoboxes

Once you have chosen a template, follow its documentation for help with adjustments and implementation. Each template has similar yet specific parameters. If you have issues or want to report a bug, visit Module talk:Mapframe (you may need to report issues with OpenStreetMap at [https://help.openstreetmap.org/ their forum], and more technical issues on [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ Phabricator]).
