== Urgent: Please fix this template for printed content [[Module:Location map/styles.css]]. ==
<div lang="en" dir="ltr">
Firstly, apologies for writing in English if this is not your first language (this is an automated message).
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.
To fix this:
# 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.
For any questions feel free to ask them at [[phab:T369874]].

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

== How do I set the Location map width to the reader's thumb size preference? ==
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)
:The context of MOS:IMGSIZE is clearly about stand-alone images, not ones in infoboxes. To have uniformly formatted infoboxes should be the standard. -- '''[[User:P199|<span style="color: #199199;">P 1 9 9</span>]]''' <big>[[User talk:P199|✉]]</big> 18:03, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
::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. So how do we follow this standard for ___location maps so that they match the infobox's lead image size? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 19:26, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
== Export ==
What's the best way to export the resulting map, please? Motivation: [[Template_talk:Location_map-line#Use_in_Wikidata]]. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 14:06, 15 March 2025 (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>.
=== Suggested Changes: ===
* Expand the {{para|position}} argument to recognize and support:
** <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: ===
* '''Greater Precision''': Labels can be positioned more naturally relative to markers, reducing overlap and improving clarity.
* '''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.
* Use a simple logic-based adjustment to move the label diagonally when a compass-based position is selected.
: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.
The new parameter is <code>top_offset</code>, available in <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">{{Location map/sandbox |top_offset=}}</syntaxhighlight>

Let me know what you think! [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 18:51, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
:Hi, this looks like it would be very useful, thank you! I hope implementing it wasn't very hard. I can understand why you wouldn't want to be able to fine tuning the absolute positions if it makes the display worse on certain screens. I will try it out now.

== Automatic color mode bug ==
I'm seeing a bug with text background color for annotations on ___location maps in articles, but not in the docs. Both logged-in and -out. E.g. screenshot at [[phab:F59386868]] of the random article [[Fechenheim]] (and same elsewhere). But the examples in [[Template:Location_map]] all work properly(!?). 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!

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

{{edit template-protected|Module:Location map/styles.css|answered=yes}}
'''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])
