== Urgent: Please fix this template for printed content [[Module:Location map/styles.css]]. ==

== Error in Myanmar map ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr">

In [[Module:Location map/data/Myanmar]] the two maps there have different coordinates. The File:Myanmar relief ___location map.jpg mentioned in its description is 92-102 E. So if this file is shown, the coordinate marked is shifted left/right from the place it should be. I think the File:Myanmar adm ___location map.svg should be changed to File:Myanmar ___location map.svg and the coordinate should be adjusted accordingly. Not sure what would break if the map range is shrunk. --[[User:Lerdsuwa|Lerdsuwa]] ([[User talk:Lerdsuwa|talk]]) 02:18, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Firstly, apologies for writing in English if this is not your first language (this is an automated message).

:I noticed the same thing. For instance [[Nat Ma Taung]] does not show up in the correct ___location. Can someone with the proper editing privileges and more technical know-how please fix this error?

This template has been detected as one of 436 pages using styles that break the page when printed when the user is using dark mode. The fix is very straightforward - all your styles relating to dark mode must be scoped to. Since there is a high risk of this templates being copied to other wikis it is important this notice is acted on ASAP.

== A new idea to insert outer title in this template ==

To fix this:

Seen from [[Washington (state)]] I just got an idea to place an outer title for this template, which requires an optional parameter {{para|title}}. Once this parameter is used, the title is placed at the top of <code>&lt;div class="thumbinner"></code> element, and centered in there. (see [https://postimg.cc/jwdyf0Q9 this screenshot])

# Update `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark` to `@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark`

# Wrap any styles relating to `html.skin-theme-clientpref-night` in `@media screen`

If this message has not been acted on in 7 days, this will be fixed by an automated script. Thank you for your help fixing this important issue.

== How to show multiple maps ==

[[User:Jon (WMF)|Jon (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Jon (WMF)|talk]]) 18:22, 2 August 2024 (UTC) on behalf of the web team.

Does anybody know how to show multiple maps that can be selected as in the [[Jakarta]] article. Looking at the WML, there is no mention of the filenames used - just some strange hashtags. I tried searching on help, but as is well known, the pathetic inadequacies of that function mean it's almost impossible to find even simple information. Any help, or a pointer to the concealed help page, would be much appreciated. Thanks. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml"> [[User:Davidelit|Davidelit ]][[User talk:Davidelit|(Talk)]] </span> 04:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

</div>

:Under the "pushpin_map" argument present in most geographical infoboxes, you can utilise multiple maps by listing the names of said maps in ascending order, separating each with a hashtag. E.G. "Indonesia{{nbsp}}Java#Indonesia#Southeast Asia". You can find the names of the specific maps you would like to use by looking at the modules of said maps; the name is shown near the top of the module documentation.

== Not centred on mobile ==

== Location Map with only part of a file ==

On mobile the image follows the float parameter. On narrow screens such as phones, this results in the article's text flowing to the side in a very narrow and hard to read column. In contrast, ordinary images generally are centred, and don't float, unless the screen is wide enough to justify floating.

Hi, so is it possible with this template to like display for example the map of germany and cut the part that isn't of interest ?

== Pyongyang Map ==

For context I'm creating french pages for German Regionalligen and from 2012 til now it's fine since all 5 groups have ___location maps i can use, but for the period when it was divided into 3 groups there is no ___location map file for now and instead of creating new files (cuz i don't really know how to) i wondered if i can just used ___location map with the full germany map file, and then ask it to for example cut the south when showing regionalliga nord, then cut the north when showing regionalliga süd and then cut the east when showing regionalliga west.

If it's not possible then I'll go ask around on how to edit svg maps and create ___location maps ig [[User:TheÆtherPlayer|TheÆtherPlayer]] ([[User talk:TheÆtherPlayer|talk]]) 13:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

== Bad contrast ==

Hey, I see there's a [[Module:Location map/data/North Korea]], but it'd be nice to have one for Pyongyang more specifically. Similar to [[Module:Location map/data/South Korea Seoul]].

Hi. Look at this please: [https://s6.uupload.ir/files/screenshot_2025-02-27_170348_wc6e.png The entry]

== How do I set the Location map width to the reader's thumb size preference? ==

'''Description of suggested change:''' see below

From the documentation, it appears that the {{para|width}} of the ___location map image is specified in pixels, but per [[MOS:IMGSIZE]], {{tq|1=Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified, because it ignores the user's base width setting. Thus upright=scaling factor is preferred when it is desired to present an image at other than the default width.}} How do I set the ___location map size to match the reader's thumb size preference, as recommended by MOS? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 04:44, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

'''Diff:''' [[Special:Diff/1177292789]]

:The context of MOS:IMGSIZE is clearly about stand-alone images, not ones in infoboxes.

::I agree that a uniform image width should be the standard, which is why I am asking how to set a ___location map to match the reader's standard thumb size preference. [[MOS:IMGSIZE]] refers to the size of a "lead image". [[MOS:LEADIMAGE]], on the same page, explains the lead image like this: {{tq|It is common for an article's lead or infobox to carry a representative image}}. [[:Module:InfoboxImage]], which is commonly used to display lead images in infoboxes, has <code>frameless</code> and <code>upright</code> options, which allow lead images in infoboxes to comply with both [[MOS:IMGSIZE]] and with readers' preferences.

----

[[Module:Location map/data/Zimbabwe]] has three maps in its definition file, but only ''image'' and ''image1'' can be used with the help of {{para|relief}}: no value means ''image'' will be used, any value gives ''image1''. If one wants to use ''image2'', the full file name has to be given to {{para|AlternativeMap}}. However, {{para|relief|2}} could mean ''image2'', and I think that's what many would expect. I'm proposing this little change [[Special:Diff/1177292789]], which would leave everything as it is now, except when {{para|relief|2…99}}. {{ping|TheDJ|Legoktm|Elli|Frietjes}} I'm pinging you as the last four contributors, not sure how much this page is watched.

: {{done}} [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 00:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I would like to propose an enhancement to <code>Module:Location map</code> that would allow for more precise label positioning. Currently, the module supports basic label positions (<code>top</code>, <code>bottom</code>, <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>), but does not include options for diagonal placements like <code>northeast</code>, <code>northwest</code>, <code>southeast</code>, or <code>southwest</code>.

== Bug when displaying several places? Cannot click ==

=== Suggested Changes: ===

Hello, is this a bug?

* Expand the {{para|position}} argument to recognize and support:

In map 1, clicking on "Recanati" works fine, both on the name and on the red marker.

** <code>northeast</code> (<code>ne</code>)

** <code>northwest</code> (<code>nw</code>)

** <code>southeast</code> (<code>se</code>)

** <code>southwest</code> (<code>sw</code>)

=== Benefits: ===

In map 2, it's impossible to click on "Recanati". I noticed that if I delete the "Siena" place, it kinda starts working but still a little buggy. There seems to be some kind of interaction that I fail to understand. In this map it happens with other places too, such as Milan.

* '''Greater Precision''': Labels can be positioned more naturally relative to markers, reducing overlap and improving clarity.

I noticed it happens frequently on other different maps. Is this a general problem of Location map? Or is it specific to some maps? Can anybody help or provide some insight? Thanks in advance

* '''Consistency''': Many mapping tools and templates already support compass-based positioning, making this a logical extension.

* '''Improved Readability''': This would allow editors to optimize label placement in cases where the default positions (<code>top</code>, <code>bottom</code>, <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>) do not work well.

=== Possible Implementation: ===

* Modify the {{para|position}} handling in <code>Module:Location map</code> to recognize the additional options and adjust label offsets accordingly.

{{Location map+ |Italy

* Use a simple logic-based adjustment to move the label diagonally when a compass-based position is selected.

This enhancement would improve the flexibility and usability of ___location maps across Wikipedia. I welcome feedback and discussion on this proposal. [[User:Abhiramakella|Abhiramakella]] ([[User talk:Abhiramakella|talk]]) 23:42, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:I would find this very helpful, particularly for locations that are very close to each other that the editor wishes to label. I would suggest alternatively that every label could have a certain "offset" parameter, in pixels, on top of the existing position parameter. This would specify the offset from a default position so editors could adjust the label to be anywhere they wish on the map.

@[[User:LivinAWestLife|LivinAWestLife]]: Adding some vertical offset to left- and right-positioned labels isn't too hard ([[Special:Diff/1305013356/1305042106]]). I don't think we need it for top- and bottom-positioned ones, and I'd advise against adding any left-right offset to those, as people tend to fine tune the absolute positions to what looks good on their screens, disregarding many other different devices and font sizes.

I used a little trick on your second map to show you what label_width of 50 means: Livorno and Siena boxes are completely covering Recanati. For most of those labels 6 would suffice, as shown of your first map. [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 00:31, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

== Two suggestions: default map image linking and VDE links ==

First I'd like to suggest including some version of {{t|navbar}} on each ___location map template (pointing to that map instead of Location map+ itself). I was experimenting with adding it on {{t|Oceans and seas in Southeast Asia}} and found it to be helpful and unintrusive with the right formatting parameters, but didn't save the edit because I thought it would be better to have this be standardised between all of the ___location maps using this template. This could have parameters to turn it off or to override whatever default formatting of navbar we picked so that the user could still format the final result as if inserting that template on the caption manually.

Secondly: We can turn off linking to the default background image with the maplink= parameter on Location map+. However, the vast majority of uses of this template on the wiki have links, and the background image link is very easy to click on by accident. Many, many of these templates are almost unusable because of their tiny links next to a clickable background. Even the example map on the template documentation suffers from a clickable background instead of maplink= despite being full of links. Proposing that the current behavior of maplink= is made the default for that template, and for some other parameter value to produce the current default.

== Three-state caption parameter ==

The module has different outputs depending on whether {{para|caption}} has a value, is empty, or absent from the call of {{tl|Location map}}. It also messes up with the border. Can't say I understand why such a design decision was made, instead of using specific params that do only and exactly what they're supposed to. Anyway... I am here to ask what to do when {{tl|Location map}} is used in a template, an infobox, which has a variable/parameter {{param|pushpin_map_caption}}. What would you use in the templates code so that {{param|pushpin_map_caption}} translates into what {{para|caption}} does: when {{param|pushpin_map_caption}} has value or is empty, use that value; but when {{param|pushpin_map_caption}} is absent from the template call in an article, make the module see it as nonexistent and provide the default caption. In other words, I need a replacement for <code><nowiki>|caption = {{{pushpin_map_caption|}}}}</nowiki></code> in the template code that will make {{para|caption}} disappear from the call of {{tl|Location map}} in the infobox code when {{param|pushpin_map_caption}} is absent from the call to the infobox in the article.

[[File:Location map pin background fix.png|thumb|Preview of the changes on the Android app.]]

Currently, an unsightly black box appears behind the red dot of the ___location map on the Android app whenever the map is inside of an infobox (such as in [[Plymouth Rock]]). This is because of styles specific to the [[mw:Page Content Service]] (PCS), which serves our content on the apps. Specifically, the <code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code> tags which wrap the dot inherit the background color from elements up in the tree, which happens to have their backgrounds set to dark/black when the reader requests it and when an infobox wraps the ___location map. There's a [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/services/mobileapps/+/refs/heads/master/pagelib/docs/pcs/pcs.md#themes very obscurely-placed way to disable this] ([[phab:T236137]]) that's officially supported, which is adding the "notheme" class to any element that shouldn't be styled by PCS. By adding the class to the outer div (div with class <code>od</code>), it suppresses the background color from being set to it and its children divs (which explicitly inherits the infobox's cell background color by default).

This change is visible only for the app view ''on dark/black mode''. You will have to open [[Special:PermanentLink/1192790784]] on the Wikipedia apps with dark/black mode enabled or view the Mobile HTML directly in your browser ([https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/User:Chlod%2Fsandbox/1192790784?theme=black preview]) to see the difference.

== Center aligned label? ==

Hi, I've searched the talk page archives for this, but I couldn't find a solution. Is it possible to place a label exactly over the point where the mark would be? I'm trying to make a label map of Afghan provinces [[User:RAGentry/sandbox|here]] on my sandbox, but it seems that the label will always be off-center, even if you move the "positon" parameter to "top" or "bottom". It would be useful if "center" were an option for this parameter. I'm trying to see if ___location maps could be used to make something like image-label maps such as at [[:Template:Bulgaria Provinces]], which would be much easier considering it uses coordinates instead of pixels of the image. &mdash; [[User:RAGentry|<span style="color:#00afaa">'''RAGentry'''</span>]] [[User talk:RAGentry|<span style="color:#f5246c">'''(talk)'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/RAGentry|<span style="color:#f98137">'''(contributions)'''</span>]] 22:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

:{{re|RAGentry}} Sadly there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to do this currently. I guess until that "center" option is implemented, the best workaround would be to add/subtract a standard latitude from the position.

{{Edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

I found a subtle bug in the way the markers/labels are created. If a marker has a link, the anchor tag seems to inherit the font size from the user skin, not from the label_size. This is problematic for small markers, especially clustered ones. The anchor tag bounding box may be taller than the marker and label themselves, thus it may obstruct other marker/label links behind it. You can compare the difference between these 2 map versions: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Russo-Ukrainian_War_detailed_map&oldid=1219979389 without fix] vs [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Russo-Ukrainian_War_detailed_map&oldid=1220996383 fixed]. Look for the Orlivka red marker which is vertically sandwiched by two villages. They are NW of Avdiivka which is NW of Donetsk. In the old version, the Orlivka marker link is barely clickable as Tonenke and Semenivka obstruct it. In the new version, the anchor follows the marker shape.

The proposed fix is written [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Location_map/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1220995695 in the sandbox]. It simply moves the css font-size definition from the label div to the outer div which also includes the marker div. Perhaps the only downside would be if the label_size was much bigger than the marksize, causing even more obstruction. Maybe forcing the font-size of the marker to be very small could help?

I've made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Location_map/multi/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1221106180 another bugfix], but this time for Module:Location map/multi. The problem was pretty simple: when using the <code>load</code> function for multi map templates, the radio buttons wouldn't show up despite the individual maps being correctly wrapped in <code><nowiki><div class="switcher-container"></nowiki></code>. This was because the <code>autoSwitcherLabel</code> option was being set on <code>args</code>, which isn't passed to <code>locmap.bottom</code> (<code>dataModule.containerArgs</code> is instead). Effectively, it wasn't being read. If <code>containerArgs</code> wasn't ''read-only'', then the new flag could be set directly. Therefore, I believe the neatest way to pass this flag to <code>locmap.bottom</code> is to make a shallow copy of <code>containerArgs</code>, modify it, and then pass it instead.

I'm not sure where the bug is coming from, whether it's in [[Module:Location map/styles.css]] or elsewhere. I hope those clues help!

:<code><nowiki>{{Location map~|France Paris and inner ring|lat=48.8737|long=2.2950|background = #ffcc7777|label=<div style="font-size:70%;">'''[[Arc de Triomphe]]'''<br />'''[[Place Charles de Gaulle]]'''</div>|position=top}}</nowiki></code>

== Changing template name to "Template:Pushpin Location map" ==

In the above example, the color has partial alpha but that's irrelevant to the issue: I previewed {{para|background|#ffcc77}} and/or {{para|position|bottom}} with same problem; changing {{para|position|left}} or {{para|position|right}} work OK. likewise changing other elements' {{para|position}} broke them.

Hi, just like [[Template:OSM Location map]], I think it is better to mention the type of Location map, which is in this case is pushpin. So I propose to move this article to [[Template:Pushpin Location map]]. Thanks, [[User:Hooman Mallahzadeh|Hooman Mallahzadeh]] ([[User talk:Hooman Mallahzadeh|talk]]) 03:02, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

:The pushpin (pog) is just the default marker. Templates like {{tl|Infobox airport}} use a different image file to show locations. There is a whole family of ___location maps, not just this module and template; I might support a name change if their name was something like "LM", but "Location map" is reasonably descriptive. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 15:16, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

* It's the <code><nowiki><div style="font-size:70%;"></nowiki></code>. [[Special:Diff/1237243334|My workaround]] was to use {{tl|resize}} instead, which is better practice anyway. The underlying issue may still be worth fixing, whenever. [[User:Jnestorius|jnestorius]]^{([[User talk:Jnestorius|talk]])} 21:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

== Buggy and unnecessary float ==

'''Description of suggested change:'''

the whole map section, including the caption, gets affected by the grayscaling effect on lines [[module:___location map/styles.css#L-66|66]] and [[module:___location map/styles.css#L-79|79]] in [[module:___location map/styles.css|styles.css]], which causes some weird coloring (see [https://ibb.co/LXYjbtkm])

'''Diff:'''

The {{para|float}} is causing infobox problems at [[2024_Wayanad_landslides]], see [[MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-switcher.js#Interface-protected_edit_request_on_1_August_2024_fix_floating_radio_buttons]].

According to the monthly parameter usage report, the {{para|float}} had only 1 use, which I removed. Furthermore, do we even need the CSS <code>float:right</code> when it's mostly in infoboxes, which are narrow?
