How to add a historical locator map
I would like to add a historical locator map to battle of Hel, just like you can see on pl:Obrona Helu, but can't figure out the code. Could someone help with that? I should be able to do it myself in the future once I see the working code. TIA! PS. Polish wiki uses the pl:Szablon:Wojna infobox template, if you need the code. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Piotrus, For best results, create a new location module for Poland 1939, just like we have Module:Location map/data/Germany 1937. I did this myself a while back so I may be able to help. It looks like the plwiki map your are looking for is probably in pl:Kategoria:Szablony map.
- You can also hack it (see Leitmeritz concentration camp for an example]]), but a Poland 1939 map would be much more valuable overall. buidhe 00:32, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: Thanks. I found the maps of Poland user for that purpose on pl wiki here: pl:Moduł:Mapa/dane/Polska. Interesting how this doesn't have an en wiki interwiki? Anyway, I also found we already have Module:Location map/data/Poland 1939. Now, what's the best way of integrating this into this infobox? Or should it be used as a stand-alone box? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:55, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Piotrus, {{Infobox military conflict}} has parameters for adding a location map, which is automatically filled in with coordinates. If that doesn't work, you can try
| image_map ={{Location map...
as I did at Transport of Białystok children or you can inject {{location map}} and its variants directly into the infobox without a parameter. buidhe 02:00, 22 March 2020 (UTC)- I think I got it to work, thanks! Also ping User: Gog the Mild. See [1]. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:08, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- Piotrus, ah ha! Thanks. (Looks good.) Gog the Mild (talk) 12:48, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Invoked with the status argument seems to cause an extra paragraph tag to be output for that status; see "Ongoing" in Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts and 2020 China–India skirmishes. The extra padding/margin caused by this means misalignment with the "Status" header.
The status should be output without the <p> tag. 89.107.6.24 (talk) 01:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Note to template editors: this happens only in certain situations. The Mediawiki parser wraps the word "Ongoing" in
<p>...</p>tags when it is followed by a bulleted list, but not when it is alone. Paste and modify the infobox from Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts into Special:ExpandTemplates to see the HTML output. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC) - Seems to affect quite a few templates, e.g. Afghanistan conflict (1978–present) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- okay. Frietjes (talk) 22:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

CSS fix for the above issue. Making a separate request to separate this proposed fix from the issue, in case a different fix is desired.
At a glance the issue looks like one with the MediaWiki parser. The easiest solution seems to be a CSS fix. It applies to the direct first 'p' child of status to avoid any problems, and if any individual templates have a manual 'p' element as the first child and want their own styling (which would be unusual, contextually speaking) that won't cause issues as that would override with specificity.
Updated templates:
Courtesy reminder to update to use the live styles.css, if you merge this change. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Template ERs somewhat backlogged. Pinging Primefac, Frietjes: can this change be merged into live? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:27, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- okay. Frietjes (talk) 22:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Custom argument values
Hello, I reuse this module for viwiki. I would like to use both English and Vietnamese parameters:
- self.args.image and self.args.hình_ảnh // I have a error for "hình_ảnh"
How can use this? Thank you. Alphama (talk) 14:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Coordinates
Just a quick ping of User:Eastfarthingan and User:Keith-264 regarding this archived thread establishing a consensus to remove title coordinates from military conflict articles as "redundant". As recently discussed at Template_talk:Coord#Clarification_of_what_"=title"_achieves, there's actually more to the "=title" option than just showing the coordinates of the title on non-mobile devices, although this wasn't well documented: it also establishes the template coordinates as being the single, primary location of the article subject (so that they'll show up on a map by anything that queries the Wikipedia API).
If a project template has been modified to omit title coordinates, you may want to change it back. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oh no....Keith-264 (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- So this means I should stop removing 'title' in coord then? Eastfarthingan (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- If you think that the coordinates of conflicts should be visible on maps and features that use the API (like Special:Nearby), and if the only reason for removing 'title' was that you thought the coordinates looked redundant: yes, they should stay. The ones you've deleted should be brought back as well, but I don't know what the easiest way to do that would be. WP:AWB should be able to find and fix articles that use this infobox, but don't have a "title" for their coordinates. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. I will start putting them back. Eastfarthingan (talk) 18:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
