Add an example on how to keep town dots linked to the latest status source. |
Add section: "How to preview map before saving edit" |

Line 19:
This provides the latest status (along with the source) to viewers clicking on the town's dot in the map. Notice also how at the ''beginning'' of the war section in the town's Wikipedia article, there is the expression: <nowiki>{{anchor|civilwar}}</nowiki>. This mirrors the #civilwar part in the link parameter in the map's code and allows the click on the dot to take the viewer to the [[Al-Taybah#civilwar|beginning of the war section]] in the town's Wikipedia article. In summary, when the status of a map object changes, the color of the icon has to be updated ''and'' the write-up (along with the source) has to be ''added'' as well.
==How to preview map before saving edit==
Before saving your changes (by clicking "Save changes"), you should preview your edit (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:Libyan Civil War detailed map". Then hit "Show preview".
