සැකිල්ල:Map caption/doc
This is a documentation subpage for සැකිල්ල:Map caption. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original සැකිල්ල page. |
Template intended to simplify adding a standardized and formatted caption below a map indicating the location of something (e.g. a country), possibly referring to the map's main region and optionally also to a shown subregion. Original use within infoboxes (e.g. see articles on European countries). For a complete set of elements (see Parameters) of reasonable length, a width of typically (minimally) 250px (without extra padding or margins) should be available.
Parameters
[සංස්කරණය]Parameter | Default | ||
---|---|---|---|
(optional) | countryprefix | Neither linked nor styled prefix e.g. "the" (for articles named e.g. "United Kingdom", "Czech Republic", "Netherlands") | – |
(optional) | country | Only if the country name at the map should not be identical to the article name (e.g. "Metropolitan France") Template sets [[...]], thus if identical to article name (default) in article shown in bold instead of linked |
<article name> |
(optional) | location | Only if hereunder colour is not used and its default not appropriate: Description identifying country's location (e.g. "circled in inset") This parameter must never be empty; "none" suppresses it. If passed, location_color cannot be shown |
– |
(optional) | location_color | Only if above description is not used: Colour identifying country's location; "none" suppresses showing the default. | orange |
(optional) | region | Name (or equally extremely short description) for approximately the entire area depicted by the map. "[[යුරෝපය]]" shown as "on the European continent", "[[Antarctica]]" shown as "on Antarctica", "[[Middle East]]", "[[Arctic Circle]]" or "[[Pacific Ocean]]" shown as "in the ...", versus any other: shown as "in ...", e.g. "[[Africa]]" shown as "in Africa" |
– |
(optional) | region_color | Colour identifying region; "none" suppresses showing the default. | white |
(optional) | subregion | Subregion indicated within region (only if used: aligning both region and subregion lines to the left, else single region line centered as top line) Must not occur without parameter region. "[[EU]]" or "[[යුරෝපියානු සංගමය]]" shown as "in the යුරෝපියානු සංගමය", versus any other: shown as "in ...", e.g. "the [[Caucasus]]" shown as "in the Caucasus" |
– |
(optional) | subregion_color | Colour identifying subregion; "none" suppresses showing the default. | camel |
(optional) | legend | Filename of image providing a map legend | – |
Note: In case the name of any article or redirect page on this Wikipedia is given for a country, region or subregion (without other characters in the parameter), the template automatically creates a link. It is nevertheless possible to pass a parameter between linking brackets [[...]] and such is required in case only a part of the parameter should be linked or in case a link should reach an article by another name using syntax [[...|...]]. |
