Template:Location map

This note is transcluded from Template:Location map/permission. (edit | history)

I am currently in the process of trying to get permission for this template. This is what I have so far. Since it is incomplete, this template is based on an outdated version. It should be fixed soon.

User	Permission link
w:user:Zocky	[1]
w:user:Patrick
w:user:Andux	[2]
w:user:Hintha
...

Still missing permission for some of the edits. Not sure if needed as they are very small (and thus perhaps are not a creative work, and therefore not copyrighted. but that is probably just wishful thinking)

Create location maps.

Usage

{{Location map|''map name''
|label=''label''
|position=left ''or'' right '' - position of the label relative to the mark
|lat=''latitude in degrees''
|long=''longitude in degrees''
|mark=''image file name - a red circle by default
|caption=''caption'' - caption below the map
|float=left ''or'' right ''or'' none
|width=''width of the map''
}}

Available maps

Creating new maps

1. Find an appropriate blank map in an orthographic projection.
2. Create a template named Template:Location map Location.
3. Copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values.
4. Done.

Issues

• Doesn't handle longitude properly for maps crossing the +/- 180 meridian yet. (fixable, copyright is standing in my way)
• Due to copyright, not as up to date as the Wikipedia version. working on it.
