==Labels==

''Only'' towns & border posts can have blue visible wikilink labels. Whether a town has a blue visible wikilink label or not will depend on its size, importance and available space around it for the label to appear without obstructing other towns. The wikilink labels have a minimum size of 65 (label_size=65).

== Contested icon ==

Line 61 ⟶ 68:

===Examples of cases where the contested icon should ''not'' be used===

* A caseCases where there washave no chance of the enemy taking the town over, andbeen only, small clashesor weresporadic going onclashes in thea town., We don't put towns contested if there are only sporadicor clashes. Sothat reportsstopped of clashes are not always enough to mark a townafter assome contestedhours.

* A case where there were many separate reports of rebel ambushes on army checkpoints, sobut this was not ano ''seizure of territory'' inside of the town. The rebels do not control any part of the town, so a contested icon is unwarranted.

* A case where there were clashes in a town with a handful of enemy fighters and the clashes were over after some hours. For example if source says: "… at least six insurgents were killed during the clashes … while the rest of militants escaped on Saturday evening”

* A case where there was just one source about clashes in a major town and what occurred was essentially a small firefight. Sleeper cells infiltrated the town and shot at some soldiers, and the soldiers shot back and killed some of them. The source then reports the rest of the fighters as having fled the battlefield. So this was a one-off, hit-and-run attack, not a serious attempt to grab and ''hold'' parts of the town.

* A case where there were many separate reports of rebel ambushes on army checkpoints so this was not a ''seizure of territory'' inside of the town. The rebels do not control any part of the town, so a contested icon is unwarranted.

* A case where the enemy reached city limits. Well, they still haven't entered the city proper (which is the prerequisite for marking the city as "contested") When the city really becomes contested, a bunch of news outlets will be reporting on it. Just because there is enemy at gates does not mean it is contested. The enemy needs to be making progress in the city.

* The evidence should be especially strong to turn a “stronghold” contested. A few clashes, especially on the periphery are not enough. There should be evidence that the enemy can do more than just hit & run attacks. In these cases, a semi-circle is often enough.

Line 77 ⟶ 82:

== Siege and pressure from one side icons ==

===Definition===

The siege icon ([[File:map-circle-redblue.svg|12px]]) should be used for towns that are under siege or enemy pressure or militant attacks or rocket attacks. The “pressure from one side” icon ([[File:map-arcNE-redblue.svg|11px]]) should be used for towns that are under enemy pressure from one side.

===How to place these icons===

The easiest way to place these icons is to copy/paste the line code of the object you want to have a circle (or semi-circle) around it and then:

# Replace the mark = parameter with [[File:map-circle-redblue.svg|12px]] or [[File:map-arcNE-redblue.svg|11px]]

# Increase marksize = parameter by 4. So for example, if the town dot has a size of 10, then the circle (or semi-circle) should have a size of 14.

Line 87 ⟶ 92:

'''Example:'''

* Correct: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{ lat = "33.972", long = "36.897", mark = "map-arcNE-redblue.svg", marksize = "12" },

{ lat = "33.972", long = "36.897", mark = "Abm-bluered+icon.png", marksize = "8", label = "Brigade 128", label_size = "0" },</syntaxhighlight>

* Wrong: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{ lat = "33.972", long = "36.897", mark = "Abm-bluered+icon.png", marksize = "8", label = "Brigade 128", label_size = "0" },

{ lat = "33.972", long = "36.897", mark = "map-arcNE-redblue.svg", marksize = "8" },</syntaxhighlight>

== Truce (purple with D) icon ==

The purple with D icon ([[File:LACMTA Circle DPurple Line.svg|11px]]) should be used for towns where the party in question has ''lost a significant amount of [[sovereignty]]'', such as giving up heavy weapons, allowing regular enemy patrols inside of it, etc… If all that the “truce” means is that there is no fighting or shooting from both parties, then there is no need for a purple icon. In summary, the purple icon means loss of sovereignty, not lack of fighting.

==How to preview map before saving edit==

Before saving your changes (by clicking "Publish changes"), you should preview your edits (changes). This allows you to view the map to make sure it is what you want to do before saving and making the change appear on Wikipedia. To do this, type in the box under "Preview page with this module" the name of the template: "Template:IsraeliRusso-PalestinianUkrainian conflictWar detailed map". Then hit "Show preview".
