This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox forest. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua: Module:Infobox (sandbox) Module:InfoboxImage (sandbox) Module:Coordinates (sandbox) Module:Check for unknown parameters (sandbox) Module:Infobox mapframe (sandbox)

This template can be used to create an infobox for an article about a forest. It can be embedded in other infoboxes to provide addition data. For more information on this option read Infobox Embedding.

If both a photo and a map are to be displayed the photo will appear at the top of the infobox and the map at the bottom. If only a map is to be displayed then the map will appear at the top.

The only required parameter is name and it must be assigned a value

• Basic {{Infobox mapframe}} parameters:
  • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no
    • Internal onByDefault parameter: not specified
  • mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata d:Property:P625
  • mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
  • mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
  • mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
• Customise which features are displayed:
  • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Force display of shape by setting to on. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Force display of line by setting to on. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
  • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
    • auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
    • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
    • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
• Other optional parameters:
  • mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
  • mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
  • mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
  • mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.1
  • mapframe-stroke-color or mapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
    • mapframe-line-stroke-color or mapframe-line-stroke-colour – Color of line features. Default: #ff0000
    • mapframe-shape-stroke-color or mapframe-shape-stroke-colour – Color of outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
  • mapframe-stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: 2
    • mapframe-shape-stroke-width – Width of outlines of shape features. Default: 2
    • mapframe-line-stroke-width – Width of line features. Default: 5
  • mapframe-marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: not specified (i.e. blank)
    • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
  • mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-color or mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour – Color of outline of geomask shape. Default: #555555
  • mapframe-geomask-stroke-width – Width of outline of geomask shape. Default: 1
  • mapframe-geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
  • mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.25
  • mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
  • mapframe-length_km or mapframe-length_mi or mapframe-area_km2 or mapframe-area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified / not specified / not specified / not specified
  • mapframe-frame-coordinates or mapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
  • mapframe-type – Set the type of the object, with the same usage as {{coord}}. Default: not specified
  • mapframe-population – Set the population, useful with type="city", for {{Infobox dim}}. Default: not specified

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of map templates. This method requires the geographic coordinates to be entered using the parameters below and assigning map the name of the area covered by one of a set of location map templates. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters for {{Location map}} and reading the documentation for that template might be helpful.

The coordinates and related information must be entered using the of parameters below. This information is the same as that used by the {{coord}} template.

Location map templates can be found using these sources:

List of templates - 1050 templates available when the list was generated.

Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - a search that might help.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - another search that might help.

The value you need to assign to the parameter, map, is the area name. The location map for France is Module:Location map/data/France. In this case specify map=France.
