:::::::{{ping|Jc86035|Rich Farmbrough}} Okay, that solution is a good alternative if we like the word "the". If you want to do the bot thing, a good place to start is [[Template:Location map/doc/Converting map definition templates to modules|the instructions for how to manually convert them]].

== Location map Ukraine Kiev Oblast ==

;Request:

: The map on [[Template:Location map Ukraine Kiev Oblast]] is coordinated incorrectly. As а reference point can be used [[Kotsiubynske]]. It's a small spot inside the Kiev city area. But in fact on this map, it's moved towards the top-right side.

I tried to correct it myself but I have no experience in such a job. I cannot even find ''Module:Location map/data/Ukraine Kiev Oblast'' Could you please help me? --[[User:TimeWaitsForNobody|TimeWaitsForNobody]] ([[User talk:TimeWaitsForNobody|talk]]) 20:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

: I had a look and the physical and non-physical maps did not match precisely, and checking the history of [[:File:Kyiv province ___location map.svg|the latter]] it had been updated with a slightly differently aligned version, so I reverted it. Have a look at it now to see if that fixes it; you may need to purge the page to see the change.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small>^{[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]}<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 21:07, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

:: Ta, but problem's still existed. As I mentioned the best way to check the map alignment is to see the position of [[Kotsiubynske]] village. It must be exactly on the spot inside the Kiev City area. You can see the small spot in the west part of the Kiev City area (in the centre). As a help you can see [https://www.google.com/maps/place/50%C2%B029'24.0%22N+30%C2%B020'05.0%22E/@50.4655299,30.5599417,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d50.49!4d30.334722?hl=en here] [[User:TimeWaitsForNobody|TimeWaitsForNobody]] ([[User talk:TimeWaitsForNobody|talk]]) 22:59, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

* I've made a test. I created [[User:TimeWaitsForNobody/sandbox#Kotsubynske]] using the [[Template:Location map]] and it works correctly but when the map is used inside the [[Template:Infobox settlement]], variable ''pushpin_map = Ukraine Kiev Oblast'', there's an error as you can see at [[Kotsiubynske]] article.

* Thanks a lot, I don't know who's corrected it but '''now it's accurate'''. Unfortunately in other wiki languages, it's still been incorrect. e.g. [[:de:Kozjubynske]]. [[User:TimeWaitsForNobody|TimeWaitsForNobody]] ([[User talk:TimeWaitsForNobody|talk]]) 01:33, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

::The German version looks the same as the one on this Wikipedia to me. Changes like this can take time to propagate across articles, as they keep a local cache of the page to speed loading. You can force it to regenerate the page, to see a change to an image or template, by purging it. Append <code>?action=purge</code> to the page, e.g. [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozjubynske?action=purge like this].--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small>^{[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]}<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 08:52, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
