Module:Mapframe/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Mapframe.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

On English Wikipedia, this module is called by {{Maplink}}, see that template's documentation for usage instructions.

Usage

Standard usage

Just use {{Maplink}}, which passes its parameters to this module's main function.

From another module

Import this module, e.g. local mf = require('Module:Mapframe')
Pass a table of parameter names/values to the _main function. See {{Maplink}} documentation for parameter names and descriptions. E.g. local mapframe = mf._main(parameters)
Preprocess _main's output before returning it, e.g. return frame:preprocess(mapframe)

Set up on another wiki

Create template and module:
- Import this module and its template to that wiki (or copy the code over, giving attribution in the edit summary). Optionally, give them a name that makes sense in that wiki's language
- On Wikidata, add them to the items Q52554979 and Q27882107
Localise the module
- Edit the top bits of the module, between the comments -- ##### Localisation (L10n) settings ##### and -- #### End of L10n settings ####, replacing values between " " symbols with local values (when necessary)
Add documentation
- to the template (e.g. by translating Template:Maplink/doc, adjusting as necessary per any localisations made in the previous step)
- to the module (please transfer/translate these instructions so that wikimedians who read your wiki but not the English Wikipedia can also set up the module and template on another wiki).

Test cases

Test cases are available at Template:Maplink/testcases, comparing {{maplink}} (which uses the live module) and {{maplink/sandbox}} (which uses the sandbox module).
