This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.
This Lua module is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Just use {{Maplink}}, which passes its parameters to this module's main function.
From another module
Import this module, e.g. local mf = require('Module:Mapframe')
Pass a table of parameter names/values to the _main function. See {{Maplink}} documentation for parameter names and descriptions. E.g. local mapframe = mf._main(parameters)
Preprocess _main's output before returning it, e.g. return frame:preprocess(mapframe)
Import this module and its template to that wiki (or copy the code over, giving attribution in the edit summary). Optionally, give them a name that makes sense in that wiki's language
Edit the top bits of the module, between the comments -- ##### Localisation (L10n) settings ##### and -- #### End of L10n settings ####, replacing values between "" symbols with local values (when necessary)
Add documentation
to the template (e.g. by translating Template:Maplink/doc, adjusting as necessary per any localisations made in the previous step)
to the module (please transfer/translate these instructions so that wikimedians who read your wiki but not the English Wikipedia can also set up the module and template on another wiki).
