Changing map title
Hello, I'm not too skilled in the coding side of wikipedia, so please bear with me! I'm currently trying to change the title of the map Module:Location map/data/China Tibet topography. Right now, it's showing up in the infobox of articles including Mount Everest as China Tibet topography when all it should say is Tibet. Changing the title value in the code didn't seem to change it. Do I have to move the location map module page? Any help is appreciated. --NoGhost (talk) 20:55, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- NoGhost, I searched Mount Everest for "China Tibet topography" and found nothing. What is the problem exactly? Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 21:26, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Plastikspork: Oh, it seems to be displaying correctly now! I guess it just took awhile to update. Thanks for checking. --NoGhost (talk) 21:57, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Philadelphia map not big enough?
The coordinates for Watson Comly School are outside the Philadelphia box, and I've double checked that the coordinates are correct and are within Philadelphia. The template uses File:Location Map Philadelphia Metropolitan Area.png, which cuts off at or very near the building's location. I can't quite tell from the map styling. Is this an issue with insufficient border coordinates being set, or should there be a larger map for Philadelphia? (Is this even the right place to ask?) kennethaw88 • talk 07:53, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- kennethaw88, if you look at a larger version of the map image, you will see a purple dashed line. that line is the boundary of Philadelphia. it looks like that when User:Vrysxy exported the image from openstreet map, the image was cropped too much. you could try to export a new image from open street map using a larger region. just make sure you keep track of the bounding box lat/long information. or, try asking at WP:Maps or Graphics Lab/Map workshop to see if someone there can help. I would help, but I haven't had any luck with exporting images from openstreetmap. Frietjes (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, I asked over at WP:Graphics Lab/Map workshop. kennethaw88 • talk 19:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
