Template documentation

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 of reasonable length, a width of (minimally) 250px (without extra padding or margins) should be available.

Parameters

Required parameters shown in bold italics

Parameter	Description	Default
countryprefix	Neither linked nor styled prefix e.g. "the" (for articles named e.g. "United Kingdom", "Czech Republic", "Netherlands").	–
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.	< >
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.	–
location_color	Only if above description is not used: Colour identifying country's location; "none" suppresses the default.	orange
region	Name (or equally extremely short description) for approximately the entire area depicted by the map. special: "[[Europe]]" shown as "on the European continent", special: "[[Antarctica]]" shown as "on Antarctica", special: "[[Middle East]]", "[[Arctic Circle]]" or "[[Pacific Ocean]]" shown as "in the ...", special: versus any other: shown as "in ...", e.g. "[[Africa]]" shown as "in Africa"	–
region_color	Colour identifying region; "none" suppresses the default.	white
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. special: "[[EU]]" or "[[European Union]]" shown as "in the European Union", special: versus any other: shown as "in ...", e.g. "the [[Caucasus]]" shown as "in the Caucasus"	–
subregion_color	Colour identifying subregion; "none" suppresses showing the default.	tan
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 [[...|...]].

Typical sample for an article on a European Union member that needs no "the" before its name, for otherwise identical output: {{map caption |region=Evropa |subregion=EU |legend=European location legend en.png}}
	Staðseting av  Map caption  (appilsingult) – í Evropa  (ljósabrúnt & hvítt) – í EU  (ljósabrúnt)  –  [Frágreiðing]

Infobox usage of code (as intended) — wherein the alignment, the padding/margins, and font are rendered differently (this template adjusts for that infobox):

Sample for article named 'Armenia', about a non-European country {{Infobox Country or territory| |common_name = Armenia |image_map = Europe location ARM.png |map_caption = {{map caption}} |(other for the Infobox required parameters omitted from sample) }} Sample for article named 'Belarus', about a non-member of the EU {{Infobox Country or territory| |common_name = Belarus |image_map = Europe location BLR.png |map_caption = {{map caption |region=[[Evropa]] |legend=European location legend en.png}} |(other for the Infobox required parameters omitted from sample) }} Sample for article named 'Netherlands', about a member of the EU {{Infobox Country or territory| |common_name = Niðurlond |image_map = EU location NED.png |map_caption = {{map caption |countryprefix= |region=[[Evropa]] |subregion= [[Evropiska Samveldið]] |legend=European location legend en.png}} |(other for the Infobox required parameters omitted from sample) }}
