 | Please keep both widths and scales greater than zero and exactly the same in each template. For example, if width is 300, then all the scales must also be 300. Thanks. |

Usage
editConsider this example, adapted from Template:Australia Labelled Map:
{{Image label begin|image=Australia ___location map recolored.png
|alt=Australia map. Western Australia in the west third with capital Perth, Northern Territory in the north centre with capital Darwin, Queensland in the northeast with capital Brisbane, South Australia in the south with capital Adelaide, New South Wales in the northern southeast with capital Sydney, and Victoria in the far southeast with capital Melbourne. Tasmania, with capital Hobart, is off the coast of Victoria, across the Bass Strait. The Indian Ocean is to the west and northwest, the South Pacific Ocean to the east, the Southern Ocean to the south, and the Tasman Sea to the southeast. The Great Australian Bight to the south and the Gulf of Carpentaria to the north are the major bays. The Timor and Arafura Seas are off the north coast, and the Great Barrier Reef guards the northeast coast from the Coral Sea.
|width={{{width|}}}
|font-size=85%}}
{{Image label|scale={{{width|}}}|x=0.26 |y=0.345 |text=[[Western Australia|Western<br/>Australia]]}}
{{Image label|scale={{{width|}}}|x=0.46 |y=0.20 |text=[[Northern Territory|Northern<br/>Territory]]}}
{{Image label|scale={{{width|}}}|x=0.505|y=0.4025|text=[[South Australia|South<br/>Australia]]}}
...
{{Image label end}}
Parameters
editwidth/scale
editA number of pixels. Default is 400. (Do not include "px" after the number.)
If |width= is given for {{image label begin}}, the same value must be given as |scale= for {{image label}}, or the labels will become misaligned if the image is resized. When used in a template, the simplest way to ensure this is by passing through the same parameter, as in the example. For example, {{Australia Labelled Map|width=500}} displays the labelled image as a larger one of 500 pixels in width instead of the default, 400.
For earthly geographic maps, conforming to these specifications can allow easier conversion to for any other purposes such as for the use of {{Location map+}}.
x/y
editX values are always between 0 and 1. For square images, Y values are also between 0 and 1. The maximum Y value is higher for tall images, lower for wide images. The X and Y values represent the fraction of the width where the label will be placed. The exact point is the top-left corner of the image label.
x=0 |y=0 will place the top-left corner of the label at the top-left of a square image x=0 |y=1 will place the top-left corner of the label at the bottom-left of a square image x=1 |y=1 will place the top-left corner of the label at the bottom-right of a square image x=1 |y=0 will place the top-left corner of the label at the top-right of a square image x=0.5|y=0.5 will place the top-left corner of the label at the centre of a square image
image
editThe title of the wiki page of the image without the "Image:" prefix.
text
editThe text label to display as wiki markup.
float
editThree options:
|float=none– makes the image sit on its own line of the page (default)|float=left– makes the image pushed to the left of the page|float=right– makes the image pushed to the right of the page
font-size
editOptional. If given, specifies a font size for the labels. For example, |font-size=85% displays labels in a smaller font size. If omitted, font size will inherit from surrounding content.
|font-size= can also be set on each individual {{image label}} to adjust the font size for that label.
font-stretch
editAvailable only in {{image label}}. If given, alters text width for a label. The proper value could be normal, semi-condensed, condensed, extra-condensed, ultra-condensed, semi-expanded, expanded, extra-expanded or ultra-expanded, or alternatively a percentage number, for example: |font-stretch=75%.
text-align
editOptional. If given, affects the line-by-line alignment within labels with line breaks. If omitted, the default text alignment is centered.
link
editSpecifies where the image should link to. If File: (the default), the image links to its file page. If empty, the image does not link to anything; this is appropriate for purely decorative images.
alt
editSpecifies text to be used in the image's "alt" attribute. If |link= is empty, this should be empty; if |link= is File: or is not given, this should describe the image; if |link= points to some other page this should describe the action that will be taken if you click on the image. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images.
caption
editSpecifies text to be used in the image's "title" attribute. In certain browsers, this text will appear in a tooltip when the mouse pointer is rolled over it.
Template set
edit{{Image label begin|image=Example.png|width=400|float=right}}- {{Image label start}} (template redirect to {{Image label begin}})

|font-size=85%on {{Image label begin}} or {{Image label}} instead)
- {{Image label small}} (deprecated, use
{{Image label end}}
