== Thumbnail rendering issue in [[José Salvador Alvarenga]] ==

==UK Wikidata items with and without maps==

{{maplink|frame=yes|text=Notable areas around Shoreham-by-Sea|frame-align=right|type1=shape-inverse|id1=Q770599|frame-width=200|frame-height=200|frame-coord={{coord|50.8329|-0.275}}|zoom=14|stroke-color1=#AA1205| stroke-opacity1=0.3|stroke-width1=4}}

I have been able to add maps on to pages such as the [[Upper Beeding]] parish and [[Brighton and Hove]] using the wikilink template and wikidata code, but I don't understand why some wikidata area items are connected to maps and some are not.

Point 1 and most of the line not visible, something to do with the 180th meridian line. Same issue on the [[:fr:José_Salvador_Alvarenga|fr]] and [[:zh:荷西·薩爾瓦多·阿爾瓦倫加|zh]] pages. Also is there a way to make the 180 line not visible? [[User:Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami|Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami]] ([[User talk:Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami|talk]]) 05:28, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

I am now trying to use the same method to add a map for [[Southwick,_West_Sussex|Southwick]], but it doesn't seem to have a map associated with it. I am guessing that is because it is of a different governmental organisational level. Is that correct?

:@[[User:Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami|Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami]] This is a bug. Only happens in "View mode". But I propose you to take some screenshot of OSM map, for this track, modify that and upload it using template OpenStreetMap in WikiCommons. Best regards. [[User:Hooman Mallahzadeh|Hooman Mallahzadeh]] ([[User talk:Hooman Mallahzadeh|talk]]) 06:19, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

I am therefore look for an area with a map. It might be that I will have to use the map of the entire [[Adur District]], but I don't think so as [[Coombes]], [[Lancing, West Sussex|Lancing]] and [[Sompting]] all have maps associated with them and they are in the same District.

== How not dispay top right square for "Show in full screen" ==

It could be that I should use the [[Shoreham-by-Sea]] map but this map (to the right) doesn't look correct - it should cover a much bigger area - and if it is not correct, what should I do about it?

Hi, is there anyway to avoid showing top right while square ([ ]) for "Show in full screen"? Sometime this square disrupts the map. Thanks, [[User:Hooman Mallahzadeh|Hooman Mallahzadeh]] ([[User talk:Hooman Mallahzadeh|talk]]) 13:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Can anyone help me with this or explain it to me?

:Don't think you can. Just increase the height of the frame to accommodate the map. Regs, [[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] ([[User talk:The Equalizer|talk]]) 20:10, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

And finally, am I able to make maps that do not exist and what is the easiest way to do this (preferably without having to draw it and work out borders myself)?

::@[[User:The Equalizer|The Equalizer]] Implementation of "Hide" does not seem so hard. Just add an argument named "|hide square=yes" and then in the span of OSM map apply this style "display: none;".

Many thanks. [[User:Riparia_riparia|Paolo Oprandi]] ([[User talk:Riparia_riparia|talk]]) 17:36, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

::Hiding this square is very useful for many Wikipedia maps, especially for small ones. So it worths implementation. Thanks, [[User:Hooman Mallahzadeh|Hooman Mallahzadeh]] ([[User talk:Hooman Mallahzadeh|talk]]) 04:01, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

== Many maps ==

How do I specify a manual override coordinates so one article can have many maps?

== Failure to set frame-align=none ==

Please reply at [[Template_talk:Infobox_building#mapframe-coordinates]], not here.

As the alignment of thumbnail images can be set to <code>none</code> (see [[Help:Pictures]]), its reasonable to let this module get support as well. Unfortunately, if I set {{para|frame-align|none}}, I see this notice: <nowiki><mapframe>: Attribute "align" has an invalid value</nowiki>. -- [[User:Great Brightstar|Great Brightstar]] ([[User talk:Great Brightstar|talk]]) 10:29, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

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

I can't make shape map for [[Uttara (town)|Uttara]]. Can anyone please give instructions for it? I tried it from doc of template but can't understand. [[User:Mehediabedin|Mehedi Abedin]] 12:00, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

== Display in title ==

Hello, for some reason, the outline doesn't work on all objects. It's shown here with wikidata:

There's this comment in the code, saying "[display=title] makes maplink wikitext that will be located in the top-right of the title of the page (the same place where coords with display=title are positioned)." That does not seem to work: the styles associated with id=coordinates cannot do that. Is this option even useful? I'm wondering if it should be removed from the template's documentation, it seems misleading. [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 20:30, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

[[Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve]]

:[[Special:Diff/1294960231|'''This edit''']] will put the display=title marker in the indicator area, which seems to work for all desktop skins, as can be seen at [[Template:Maplink/sandbox]] (as long as the module sandbox change is on). Is that what we want? [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 21:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

but it doesn't work here:

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

[[Umtiza Nature Reserve]]

A naive search shows that there aren't that many articles that use {{tlx|mapframe|display{{=}}title}}, maybe no more than [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=100&offset=0&ns0=1&search=hastemplate%3AMaplink+insource%3Adisplay+insource%3Atitle+insource%3A%2F%5BMm%5Daplink%5B%5E%7D%7B%5D%2Bdisplay+%2A%3D+%2A%5B%5E%7C%7D%5D%2Atitle%2F 50]. So I think it's safe to make [[Special:Diff/1294958307/1295035531|'''this change''']]. With it

* the module and template will do what they're supposed to do with {{para|display|title}}: the inline+title markers won't be shown next to each other in Vector-2022 (<span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Comet_Trail?useskin=vector-2022]</span>) nor the 'title' one will be placed on top of the infobox in Vector (<span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Comet_Trail?useskin=vector]</span>)

* the 'title' marker will be placed as the last of the [[:mw:Help:Page status indicators|indicators]] (the code added is mostly from that page)

* the resulting html code seems clean, and in line with what {{tlx|coord}} already does

== Clicking a shape with from key doesn't work ==

Hello, I have something like this:

<pre>

|type=shape|from=Southwest Indian Seamount Marine Protected Area.map|title=Shape|description=Description of shape

== How avoid text that appears when hover mouse cursor over the map? ==

But clicking on it won't show the title popup and description.

Also, I'm unable to change the colours of the shape if it uses `from`.

: When using {{para|from}} you are getting the geojson from the map file from Commons, e.g. your second one at [[:commons:Data:Agulhas_Bank_Complex_Marine_Protected_Area.map]]. I think any changes need to be made to that file or a duplicate made with your requirements, e.g adding a title to the features block with <code>"title":"test title"</code>. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 13:28, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

In Talk page at [[Talk:Death_of_James_Cook#Comments_from_Noleander]] I put a map. I've replicated the map here. When the mouse cursor is hovered over the map (desktop computer; Windows OS, Firefox browser) a popup window appears containing the text "The intuitive WP:UE/WP:COMMONNAME page title for this would probably be Death of James Cook. Just saying." which is the text (unreleated to the map) at the top of that Talk page.

== Help with map Q112251746 ==

That text popup window does not appear here, in this Talk page, when hovering over the map.
