Automatic maps in infoboxes

Example edits: Template:Infobox prison, Template:Infobox prison/docEdit the infobox template (or its sandbox).Add lines like the following examples to the infobox. Replace numbers (or to), with the appropriate number based on how many other image or data parameters are already present.

If the template has a <nowiki>{{#invoke:</nowiki>[[Module:Check for unknown parameters|Check for unknown parameters]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, add the following parameters:

| mapframe | mapframe-area_km2 | mapframe-area_mi2 | mapframe-caption | mapframe-coord | mapframe-coordinates | mapframe-custom | mapframe-frame-coord | mapframe-frame-coordinates | mapframe-frame-height | mapframe-frame-width | mapframe-geomask | mapframe-geomask-fill | mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity | mapframe-geomask-stroke-color | mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour | mapframe-geomask-stroke-width | mapframe-height | mapframe-id | mapframe-length_km | mapframe-length_mi | mapframe-marker | mapframe-marker-color | mapframe-marker-colour | mapframe-point | mapframe-shape | mapframe-shape-fill | mapframe-shape-fill-opacity | mapframe-stroke-color | mapframe-stroke-colour | mapframe-stroke-width | mapframe-switcher | mapframe-width | mapframe-wikidata | mapframe-zoom 

Once this is done, the above parameters will be available to users of the template.

• Defaults values for these parameters can also be specified in the calls above, e.g. <nowiki>{{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=library}}</nowiki> means that the library marker will be used, unless a different value is passed in to the template.
• The maps are off by default, which means maps will not be displayed unless is present in the template call. To turn maps on by default, in the calls above add – which means maps will be displayed unless is present in the template call. can also be set to a conditional, such as if another parameters is present, e.g.
