== Still not showing up ==

Hi! I tried using a map with like 27 locations on it, I followed it and it's still not showing up! help me! [[User:45BearsFan|45BearsFan]] ([[User talk:45BearsFan|talk]]) 03:43, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

== {{tl|Location map~}} {{para|background}} is sometimes ignored when {{para|position|bottom}} or {{para|position|top}} ==

[[Special:Permalink/1237233339#Venues|Example here]] in which the label background color is ignored for one element:

:<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>

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.

* 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 ==

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?

:So I tested on mobile and saw the display. It is unclear why the controls are to the left of the image. I haven't heard of any UI pattern like this layout. On mobile, we should be spacing things out on the page with plenty of padding, not trying to cram everything on one row.

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

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.

The new parameter is <code>top_offset</code>, available in <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">{{Location map/sandbox |top_offset=}}</syntaxhighlight>

: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.
