What is this here for
At the start of the tale it quickly became obvious that much of the map data on the wiki was being duplicated on a range of different pages, with different points being shown on each map. This area of the wiki was put together using templates to allow the data to be held on just one page - while being visible from each relevant page.
As a result, when adding a new point of interest (such as a public mine) only one page now needs to be edited (instead of three or more) and each map using that data will update automatically.
I want to add a new datapoint, Help Me!
To add a new datapoint, decide which page it should be added to from the list at the bottom of this page. Generally resources will be on a common page for that server, and facilities (smelting, mines, etc) will be on a regional page. Then follow the link to that page, edit it and add a new line using the standard googlemap format:
(MtPb) -1570, 5300, Lead/Sapphire Mine
You can find information on what to put for the icon parameter (the "MtPb" in the above example) in the Google Maps#Customized Icons section.
I want to use one or more of these maps on another page
To add a map to a page you will need to use Template:CondMap. To do so it is suggested you copy the following text to the page you wish to edit. Any map data that you wish to link should be placed on a new line as with the public mines (alcyone) and red sand shown below.
The five parameters at the end are optional and can be removed if unneeded.
{{CondMap|
{{:Maps/Public Mines/Amunet/Alcyone|contentonly=yes}}
{{:Maps/Red Sand|contentonly=yes}}
|exmarks=yes|lat=1200|lon=1900|zoom=4|width=800|height=700}}
What types of thing should be placed in this type of map
Generally, only items which need to be shown on multiple pages will require a map in this area. Public facilities and resources are the main examples.
There is no requirement to place things that only need to be visible from one page (such as guild locations) here
Who inflicted this monstrosity on egypt!
That would be Kasiya. If you are having trouble adding data please feel free to chat me and let me know.
