== Markers in caption legends? ==

I use a mapframe caption [[Special:Permalink/1047296081#Campus|here]] to provide a legend. However, the only template I can find is {{tl|Legend}}, which just produces solid-colored squares. Is there any way to replicate the marker icons themselves (i.e. the [[:File:Maki-marker-15.svg|pins]], their color, and the [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons|icons]] on them)? <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 04:34, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

==Blue maps in infoboxes==
I have tried to use mapframe in various infobox types. If it is supported and used, the results are quite surprising but some are great. [[Colosseum]] uses [[tl|infobox ancient site]] and creates a blue map with mapframe, but the fullscreen works great, see the history of the article 15:48, 6 October 2021‎‎. The same effect occured in [[tl|Infobox artwork]]. [[User:Ruedi33a|Ruedi33a]] ([[User talk:Ruedi33a|talk]]) 15:53, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
:Usually you just need patience, a few hours, to get the servers to respond to the mapping request. Adding the coordinates directly into the mapframe request can help. [[User:Ɱ|<span style="text-shadow:#bbb 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em;" class="texhtml">'''ɱ'''</span>]] [[User talk:Ɱ|(talk)]] 15:59, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

==Marker not shown in infoboxes==
Some infoboxes show the marker in the mapframe in "Show preview" mode, but not after applying "Publish changes". In fullscreen mode everything is OK. An example for this behaviour is [[Pietà (Michelangelo)]].[[User:Ruedi33a|Ruedi33a]] ([[User talk:Ruedi33a|talk]]) 17:29, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
:That article seems fine for me? And this is a known glitch, usually solved by changing an aspect, most easily the zoom level. After a while (few days or so?) you can change the zoom back to the ideal level.

== Givans Creek Woods ==

I'm trying to add a map to the [[Givans Creek Woods]] infobox.  When I add <code><nowiki>map = {{maplink|type=shape}}</nowiki></code>, I get {{tq|Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 522: "'\"`UNIQ--maplink-00000010-QINU`\"'" is not a valid name for a location map definition.}}.  I added the wikidata tag to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/423894868 yesterday.  Is it possible I've just not waited long enough for the data to propogate? -- [[User:RoySmith|RoySmith]] [[User Talk:RoySmith|(talk)]] 14:20, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
:It works for me, but you have a few problems with your code. See the park infobox for help - you need to make it map_image. Then see the maplink template for help - you need other parameters for a proper display - like |frame=yes|plain=yes|frame-align=center. But it's usually easier to instead use {{t|infobox mapframe}}, made for infoboxes. Not sure why that might not be working right now...

:: {{ping|Pppery}}. I've added a check on the type of the parameter key, which fixes the error.
:: I was puzzled why the errors didn't show up in the {{tl|maplink/testcases|testcases}}. It turns out that those templates showing the error have spurious positional parameters. [[Gonzales County, Texas]] has the Wikidata ID without the {{para|id}} parameter (of form <code><nowiki>{{maplink|...|Q26614}}</nowiki></code>) and [[Illinois Route 19]] has <code><nowiki>{{maplink|...|from.map}}</nowiki></code>. The positional parameters at the end do nothing and {{tl|maplink}} only works in the infoboxes because the module gets the Wikidata ID from the page. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 09:08, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

::: It seems to work and doesn't cause any problems with the [[Template:Maplink/testcases|testcases]]. I've added a "Raw Wikidata query" example.
::: I've being exploring this a bit more. A problem arose on the upgrade to php7 which meant that json was handled more strictly. This led to the fix of replacing control characters with spaces in all template parameters (<code>function util.trimArgs()</code>, line 190). This in turn caused a problem with stripmarkers in the {{para|text}} parameter, which was then exempted from control character replacement. My sandbox change now exempts the {{para|descriptionN}} parameters. As far as I can tell, only the {{para|raw}} parameter needs removal of the control characters (just replacing "\n" also works on the testcase). The json generated from template parameters by the module and passed through <code>mw.text.jsonEncode()</code> doesn't give the json errors. So a more general fix would be to only replace control characters in {{para|raw}}, which would then also allow references in {{para|title}} as well. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 11:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

== Lack of adequate documentation ==

The state of on-Wiki documentation of Mapframe maps is really quite horrible. Neither [[WP:Mapframe]] nor [[Help:Mapframe]] exists, and one has to dig around quite a bit to find the link to [[:mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer]], which itself isn't really helpful. it's really unclear where one is supposed to head for help on local issues, or to discuss community policy covering its use, etc.

I've noticed Mapframe maps referring to OSM objects via WikiData get broken every so often (including right now), and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to report this. --[[User:Paul_012|Paul_012]] ([[User talk:Paul_012|talk]]) 09:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
:Thanks for the feedback, I may try to help create some of those pages. I do think reporting is okay - a few different talk pages redirect here - this is the place to report any mapframe issues, including broken OSM-based maps. I do wish we had a better way to report to people who moreso edit OSM and could fix errors over there, however.

==Kartographer Icons ==
Are the [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons Kartographer Icons]] the full range of icons we can use? They are very limited.

I have been able to add maps on to pages such as the [[Upper Beeding]] parish and [[Brighton and Hove]] using the wikilink template and wikidata code, but I don't understand why some wikidata area items are connected to maps and some are not.

I am now trying to use the same method to add a map for [[Southwick,_West_Sussex|Southwick]], but it doesn't seem to have a map associated with it. I am guessing that is because it is of a different governmental organisational level. Is that correct? 

I am therefore look for an area with a map. It might be that I will have to use the map of the entire [[Adur District]], but I don't think so as [[Coombes]], [[Lancing, West Sussex|Lancing]] and [[Sompting]] all have maps associated with them and they are in the same District.

It could be that I should use the [[Shoreham-by-Sea]] map but this map (to the right) doesn't look correct - it should cover a much bigger area - and if it is not correct, what should I do about it?

Can anyone help me with this or explain it to me? 

And finally, am I able to make maps that do not exist and what is the easiest way to do this (preferably without having to draw it and work out borders myself)?

== Issue with non-OSM map ==

Not sure if this is the best place for this but I am having a problem with the first map on [[North Highlands, New York]]. As you can see in the source this map corresponds to [[c:Data:North_Highlands_NY.map|this Wikimedia Commons entry.]] It renders as expected when previewing however displays as blank on Gecko-based browsers and with a broken page icon on Chromium-based browsers.

== Check programmatically if an OSM-relation exist  ==

{{maplink|frame=yes|frame-align=right|type=line|id=Q42|text=Trying to show a map for {{Q|42}} }}
Hi! 
Is there a way do check programmatically if a wikidata-entity has a corresponding relation on Open Street Map (i.e. if it will show a map)? For example to show an error message rather than a map of the world if someone tries to use maplink for wikidata-items without a corresponding Open Street Map-relation (such as in the example where I try, nonsensically, to show {{Q|42}} on a map)

If that is the case it would be nice to show an error message with some information rather than a map of the world. At the moment we check wikidata if it has {{Property|402}}. However that solution is manual and not necessarily reliable as it depends on someone adding the relation to wikidata correctly whenever a relation is tagged with wikidata on Open Street Map.

== Can’t get Route shown reliabily ==

I simply cannot get the route in the map in the infobox on [[Roter Faden]] shown reliably. Sometimes it works, but most times it doesn’t.

I’ve now tried using [[GeoJSON]] (see [[Commons:Data:Hannover/Roter_Faden.map]], also as geoshape‪{{Q|P3896‬}} on {{Q|Q2168375}}, where it shows just fine).

{{maplink
|frame=yes
|plain=yes
|frame-lat=52.371993
|frame-long=9.7354699
|frame-width=222
|frame-height=222
|frame-align=center
|zoom=14

|type=line
|id=Q2168375
|stroke-colour=#C60C30
|stroke-width=3
|title=Red Thread
}}

It seems really finicky. I just added the {{t|mapframe}} above, and it KIND OF works here 😮 when you commit (but NOT in preview!). And the zoom grip in the top right is all over the place. And I cannot style the line yet.

Is there ANY way to get the route shown on a mapframe reliably? [[User:Betterkeks|Betterkeks]] ([[User talk:Betterkeks|talk]]) 07:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

:What you are seeing is likely that the image as included in the article is out of date. Maps use pretty aggressive caching, but it doesn't have 'active' expiration when you modify them (And confusingly, not all wikis do this, it is mostly the top wikipedia's). If you open a map, they are always dynamic, and their caching is less aggressive. For instance, above here, I seem to get revision 700862134 of [[c:Data:Hannover/Roter_Faden.map|Data:Hannover/Roter_Faden.map]]. The page was likely previewed or saved with this older version, then the actual version was saved, and now in this page you see the older version of that page, as the server doesn't know it should throw away the older tile. —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 09:09, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I'm facing a similar issue. The route is often unstable even for dynamic map. Does the stability depend on the time elapsed after a wikidata tag is added to a feature on OSM? For eg in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noida_Metro#Network_Map map], the old version showed [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4481323 RMG] but not [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3537978 Grey] and [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9268569 Aqua]. The wikidata tag for Grey and Aqua were only recently added and the old version in Noida Metro's page was more than 3 months old. How much time will it take before both static and dynamic map stabilizes?

== Manhattan ==

Does anyone have any idea why the map at [[Manhattan]] (linked to the Qid which is linked to OSM relation 8398124) doesn't include the island of Manhattan?

:@[[User:Ɱ|Ɱ]], there are two relations in OSM: one for Manhattan ([https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8398124 8398124]) and one for Manhattan Island ([https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3954665#map=11/40.7886/-73.9648 3954665]). Both are associated with the Wikidata item for Manhattan, [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11299 Q11299], which is incorrect. It seems Maplink gets confused and treats those two relations as one and only highlights their difference.

: I think this is a matter determined by the Wikimedia extension:  [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer]]. The scale is present in interactive mode and not in static mode. Unfortunately English Wikipedia doesn't show the maps in interactive mode on the page, only in edit preview and when the map is expanded. Presumably the scale alone wouldn't be a performance issue, but it would need a change to the Wikimedia software rather the Lua module here. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 08:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

== Hamburg ==

I tried to include an interactive map in [[Hamburg]] infobox. It was mostly successful except the the shape in the city is not cut out when I use ''shape-inverse''. I looked at the larger map and found out that there is a weird shape in the sea in the west side. For some reasons, it makes the whole city area filled but the boundary is still there. I tried to use the Hamburg.map in the Wikidata but it does not allow me to use ''shape-inverse'' for that map, only ''shape''. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

:{{re|Xeror}} I think part of your problem is that this isn't three different maps - it's one map with three different zooms. So if you have a fill inside or outside of a shape, it could mess with the larger shapes' displays. I think your best option for this complex map is what I drafted up at the top of [[User:Ɱ/sandbox]].

::{{ping|Ɱ}} If you check the [[Berlin]] one, it works perfectly fine with almost identical codes (just different QID). I have also tried removing the switcher and leaving with just one zoom. The problem is still there. It may have to do it with the disjoint areas of the Hamburg map. But then I do not understand why even using ''shape'' won't work. The area in the city area does not fill. I suspect that the boundary of the city area on OSM is not a close path. How can I fix that if it is the case? [[User:Xeror|Xeror]] ([[User talk:Xeror|talk]]) 21:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

== Wikidata routes found using Q relations need to also load in the data for their child relations ==

When looking up a route by its wikidata id, mapframe/maplink will correctly find an item with a relation.

However, it doesn't recurse into any child relations that relation may have.

For example lets look at Ohio State Route 104 (wikidata id Q2491883) since that is not too long and is given as an example on OSM's [[openstreetmap:Route_directions#One_relation_per_direction_per_leg|Route_directions]] page of the newer and generally preferred way to define routes 

The invoke:OSM link works correctly:

<nowiki>{{#invoke:OSM|wd|id=Q2491883}}</nowiki>
{{#invoke:OSM|wd|id=Q2491883}}

But maplink does not show anything:

<nowiki>{{maplink|frame=yes|text=OH104|type=line|id=Q2491883}}</nowiki>
{{maplink|frame=yes|text=OH104|type=line|id=Q2491883}}

The reason why is that the wikidata Q2491883 is referenced by OSM relation 162114, which consists of no ways, but four child relations: 12925342, 12925341, 12925339, 2925340.  See [https://osmrm.openstreetmap.de/relation.jsp?id=162114 OSM Route Manager for relation 162114].

I realize that a workaround in this instance would be to add the wikidata to each of the child relations, but this isn't a correct solution.  This parent/child relation is often used in cases of long routes such as [[en:Interstate 75]] (Q94689) with each state getting its own child route (and each having its own wikidata entry) such as [[en:Interstate 75 in Michigan]] (Q2351623).

With turbo-overpass querys the key parameter (which the invoke:osm template uses) is to put a line ">>;" which tells the system to recurse.

I'm usually pretty decent with deciphering code and would be willing to offer up a potential patch, but don't see where mapframe, Kartographer, nor Kartotherian is calling OSM to get the GeoJSON.

== Facility to export as image ==

Hello, I prefer using Mapframe for animal range maps and locations of parks, but one drawback is that a user can't export that information in the form of an image (like they would if it was an actual image). In Firefox, I'm able to right click on the Mapframe box and open the image link in a new page which gives a link like this:

I think there used to be a link to a map data before, but the link has been removed from the map.

== Interactive maps in the Kashmir region ==

Hi there,

You were recommended by user:Deor for this.  Something is perplexing me.  How does one specify a region in the Mapframe maps?  The interactive maps must have some intelligence.  For in the [[Jammu Division]], its shaded region appears in the map, but I am not able to do that for the [[Kashmir division]].  In both I had supplied the coords of a city within the region in the coords parameter.  

So again: how does one specify the lat/long coords of a region, as opposed, say, to a city or town, in these interactive maps?  Thanks.

Please see [[Daspoort Tunnel]] and [[Orange–Fish River Tunnel]]. I also added it to [[Chapman's Peak]] but it resolved after a few days. Adding a maplink to infobox river doesn't have that problem; see [[Berg River]]. Thanks, [[User:Maqdisi|Maqdisi]] ([[User talk:Maqdisi|talk]]) 08:30, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

== Scale indicator of maps is not shown at published phase==

Hi, does exist anyway to show scale of maps? For example, only in preview time, there exists a 20km indicator on the bottom left of this map:

{{Maplink|frame=yes|plain=yes|zoom=9|frame-lat=29.6666|frame-long=52.4999
|type=shape-inverse|id=Q6397066|title=City map interactive
|type2=point|id2=Q6397066|stroke-width=3|stroke-color=#7e7e7e|fill=#7e7e7e|title2=zones|marker=city
}}

For viewing of this scale, we should do a preview action. But at the time of publishing, such indicator is not shown. If we show, then the scale of map of Shiraz city becomes clearer to the viewer of Wikipedia.

== question about switching between maps ==

I'd like to switch between several different .map files depicting the same region in different times.  I tested the template:switcher and the switch function described in the template:mapframe docs.  Neither of them worked.  The template:switcher just resulted in 3 identical maps (the first of the three maps).  The template:mapframe switch function resulted in a map without the associated shapes on top.  But it's possible I did it wrong.  Here's the code segment for that attempt:

<nowiki>{{maplink|frame=yes|plain=yes|from=SWITCH:Wisconsin's 1st Assembly district (2024–2031).map,Wisconsin's 1st Assembly district (2022–2023).map, Wisconsin's 1st Assembly district (2011–2021).map|frame-height=300|frame-width=400|frame-latitude=44.8|frame-longitude=-88|zoom=7|overlay-horizontal-alignment=right|overlay-vertical-alignment=bottom|overlay=[[File:2024 WI Asm 01.svg|100px]]|switch=From 2024 to 2031, From 2022 to 2023, From 2012 to 2021 }}</nowiki>

I also tried adding overlapping shapes in the same map file and trying to switch by ID.  That threw errors.  Anyone done or seen something like this before? If I can see a working version I can probably reconstruct it.  -- [[User:Asdasdasdff|Asdasdasdff]] ([[User talk:Asdasdasdff|talk]]) 22:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

:::Because {{tl|Infobox mapframe}} was used standalone in the {{tl|Infobox military installation}} template of the page, and the Wikidata entry had both the P625 point and P402 shape attributes (which reserves a space on the Wiki Map servers to save a map), it defaults to only trying to show the shape unless extra parameters are specified such as <code>|point=on</code> or <code>|coord=<coords...></code> to show a marker. However, the map was centring on 0,0 coordinates in the Atlantic Ocean.
:::That's because there was no actual shape stored on the Wiki map servers that mirror OpenStMap, as the <code>type</code> parameter for the shape on OSM needs to be one of four ([[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM#How to get a single object from multiple lines]]) that causes the shape to be migrated across and so be available.

[[commons:Data:Muro_da_Mauá.map]] seems fine (except for the zoom view, which I plan to fix later, adding bboxes). Any ideas, please? (I've exported the JSON becase relation:site is not supported yet.) Thanks! [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 02:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

== Link to OSM relation ==

Is it possible for {{tlx|mapframe}} to include a link to the OSM relation, please? Currently I use {{tlx|OSM relation}} separately. Thanks. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 06:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

:Use the instructions on Kartographer in your earlier question, and change the type parameter for the shape on OSM to one of the four accepted, boundary is best. After some hours the Wiki maps server will copy the shape over and then you can call it using Mapframe and the Wikidata Q-number.

::I meant to ask in the more specific case of using a GEOJSON. The reason is I'm mapping an OSM relation of type "site", which is not currently supported by Wikimedia importer. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 05:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Such as {{tlx|mapframe|<nowiki>frame=yes|from=Muro_da_Mauá.map</nowiki>}} ?

::::Yes, but the external link to OSM could point to the relation  https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/17981605#map=14/-30.02738/-51.22937&layers=N instead of just the center coordinates https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-30.02738/-51.22937 [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 23:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::The Wikidata page is the central go-to point for all related features of an article. It already has a link to the relation on OSM, which usually gets cross-linked after adding the Q number to the relation on OSM. The Commons data page should also be added there. Regs, [[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] ([[User talk:The Equalizer|talk]]) 09:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
::::::I've now linked the geoshape in Commons to [[:wikidata:Q9046732|Q9046732]]. But when I include the parameter "id=Q9046732", mapframe complains "The JSON content is not valid GeoJSON+simplestyle." But let's consider a simpler case: a Q-item whose OSM relation is well supported at Wikipedia, such as "maplink|frame=yes|type=line|id=Q1094308". Even in that case, there's no backlink to the relation at OSM, only to the center coordinates. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 21:37, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::::From External links, you can't get to the OSM relation. I think the relations are meant to be accessible but not easily, and doing so only from the Wikidata page or by performing a find for local features in OSM itself is a good compromise. But, you could request it as a new feature in Phabricator. Using the Q number will only work if <code>|type=</code> is one of the four supported, as the parameter is still 'site', the wall shape is therefore not available on Wiki's maps. The Commons map file is not fetched with the Q number, it's only linked. Regs, [[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] ([[User talk:The Equalizer|talk]]) 01:08, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

== Feature label ==

The hovering label shown when clicking on the map is taken from the current page's title. It'd be nice to be able to set it manually, especially when invoking maplink multiple times in the same page. For example: {{maplink|frame=yes|type=line|id=Q1094308}}. Thanks! [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 21:46, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

:Add <code>|title=</code>
:{{tlx|maplink|<nowiki>frame=yes|type=line|title=Budapest|id=Q1094308</nowiki>}}
:{{maplink|frame=yes|type=line|frame-align=left|title=Budapest|id=Q1094308}}

== Can't disable map in infobox ==

I would like to disable the map in the infobox but 'mapframe=no' does not work. The article is [[Leys Institute]]. It might just be a Wikidata thing. [[User:Traumnovelle|Traumnovelle]] ([[User talk:Traumnovelle|talk]]) 19:09, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
:Please do not ask the same question in multiple places, per [[WP:TALKFORK]]. I already explained in detail how to do this, but I understand that technical syntax is not everyone's cup of tea. I have disabled the map for you, even though I disagree with hiding the useful map in that article. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 18:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

== default caption (text=map) ==

Hello, I propose to change the default text of the caption to be empty. In my opinion "map" doesn't really say anything meaningful. It is also a hurdle for other languages using the module.--[[User:McBayne|McBayne]] ([[User talk:McBayne|talk]]) 23:51, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

== replication lag monitoring ==

Can someone remind me, where can we check if there's a general lag between data entry into OSM and data showing up in Wikimedia mapframes? FAQ A4 {{tq|It can take 1 or 2 days after tagging on OSM before the data is available here.}}

I edited https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/18351028 last night and in recent times it's been very quick, but now I'm not seeing the update and I'm starting to wonder.

IOW are the osm2pgsql run logs saved somewhere where they can be downloaded to see? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 11:07, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

:Checks for lag are here - nothing unusual now but for some spikes earlier: [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM#Synchronization between OSM and Wikimedia wikis]]
:Nothing reported on Phabricator either. The links above do state anything up to 2 weeks is acceptable. I think it is nearly done as the relation is available, so wait another day I'd say. [[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] ([[User talk:The Equalizer|talk]]) 09:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for the links, there is no apparent lag, but it's still not rendering on [[Guanipa River]], maybe it's something else.
::This code behavior where one says {{para|mapframe|yes}} and yet it still shows no error messages is rather frustrating, can we fix that somehow? --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 16:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
:::Fixed. Coordinates were missing off WD. Regs, [[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] ([[User talk:The Equalizer|talk]]) 21:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
::::Aha, [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q3646674&diff=prev&oldid=2282842583], thanks.
::::That apparent requirement doesn't quite make sense, either, since the interesting thing mapframe plots there is the line relation, not that point. --[[User:Joy|Joy]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 07:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
:::And AFTER the lag, comes the caching. For some things this is 24 hours (shapes and OSM lookups), and other things (like raw tiles), this can be up to 30 days. —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 12:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

== Copying template to another language wiki ==

Hi, I would like to request that this template, together with its dependencies be copied over to the Bulgarian wiki. There are a lot of pages that would benefit from it and there is currently no alternative template to use. The parameters can be left as is, but if needed I can translate them over. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Foreigner037|Foreigner037]] ([[User talk:Foreigner037#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Foreigner037|contribs]]) </small> 1 January 2023 (UTC)
