Template:Mapbox
This template adds a box to the right of the page, which includes a link to an interactive full-screen OpenStreetMap map that displays additional data – either from:
- data stored in GeoJSON format on Commons;
- line/polygon features in OpenStreetMap;
- coordinates, either supplied or from Wikidata;
- raw GeoJSON, preferably transcluded from another page.
Note:
- GeoJSON files cannot currently be directly uploaded. Instead, on Commons, create a page that is in the
Data:namespace and ends in.map– see mw:Help:Map Data for further information. - To make OpenStreetMap (OSM) features available, add the Wikidata key to the OSM relation (and wait 1 or 2 days) – see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer#External_data and mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM for further information.
Usage
{{Mapbox}} utilises Template:Maplink. As a result, usage of the two templates is very similar.
| Type | Code | Notes | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data page on Commons | {{mapbox|from=}} |
specify .map data page in from=, excluding the Data prefix |
|
| Raw GeoJSON data | {{mapbox|raw=}} |
e.g. {{Wikipedia:Map data/Main Roads Western Australia/Forrest Highway}} | |
| Line of a border or a linear feature from OSM | {{mapbox|type=line|id=}} |
id= only required if the Wikidata item isn't linked to the current page |
|
| Shape from OSM | {{mapbox|type=shape|id=}} |
id= only required if the Wikidata item isn't linked to the current page |
|
| Inverted shape from OSM | {{mapbox|type=shape-inverse|id=}} |
id= only required if the Wikidata item isn't linked to the current page |
|
| Point feature from Wikidata coordinates | {{mapbox|type=point|id=}} |
id= only required if the Wikidata item isn't linked to the current page |
|
| Point feature from specified coordinates | {{mapbox|type=point|coord=}} |
Use {{Coord}} template to specify coordinates |

Multiple links
Up to five links can be included within the one box by adding "2", "3", "4" or "5" to the end of the parameter name - e.g.data2 or description2. All parameters support this except for above, below and text-left. Unlike the first link (where it is optional), the text parameter is required for links 2-5.
Parameters
Parameters affecting the maps
- type
- Type of data. Valid values are:
line– a geoline feature from OSM (e.g. a road)shape– a geoshape feature from OSM (e.g. a state or province)shape-inverse– a geomask feature from OSM (the inverse of a geoshape - allows an unobstructed view of the map beneath)data– a geoJSON data page on Commons (parameter is optional in this case)point– a point feature (coordinates)
- id
- (or ids)
- Wikidata id (Q-number) that the OSM feature is tagged with. Separate multiple ids with a comma. Defaults to the current page's Wikidata id (if
|from=not set). - from
- The JSON (.map) file from Commons to display (excluding the
Data:prefix) - raw
- raw GeoJSON (preferably transcluded from a subpage of Wikipedia:Map data) as well as <maplink> functionality not available via the other parameters. See below for more information.
- title
- Title of the feature (for features from OSM), displayed when the feature is clicked on; default is the page title
- description
- Description of the feature (for features from OSM), displayed when the feature is clicked on; optional
- coord
- Coordinates to display for a point feature. Use {{Coord}} template to specify coordinates. If not set, coordinates will be retrieved from Wikidata.
- marker
- Name of Maki marker image to display at the point feature. See mw:Maps/Icons for options. Defaults to
marker(plain marker) if not set. - stroke-color
- (or stroke-colour)
- Colour code for the colour used to draw the feature (for features from OSM); default is
#555555( ) - stroke-width
- Width for the lines used to draw the feature (for features from OSM); default is
5 - zoom
- Zoom level, from
1to19(larger numbers zoom in further); will be automatically determined if not set
Parameters affecting the box
- above
- Content (such as explanatory text) appearing above the links
- below
- Content (such as explanatory text) appearing below the links
- text
- Text to display for the link; default is "View map"
- text-left
- Set this to
yesto change the link text from centre-aligned to left-aligned
When to use the raw parameter
The "raw" parameter allows the same inputs as the full <maplink> function. It allows you to:
- Use GeoJSON data directly
- Use a combination of data sources together (direct GeoJSON, external data from Wikimedia Commons and external data from OpenStreetMap)
- Have more options for directly styling data (data from Commons will inherit the styling specified in the .map page)
- Include multiple pieces of external data from Wikimedia Commons
- Use Wikidata queries to obtain information for the map
- Use templates - if a map includes direct GeoJSON or many components, placing the data in a template will avoid cluttering the article text
Gotchas
- When retrieving lines or shapes from OSM, you can't style the fill colour or the opacity level of fills or strokes (unless you use the
|raw=parameter). - The following code utilising the
|raw=parameter won't work because the curly brace to close the GeoJSON is adjacent to the curly braces to close the template:
{{Mapbox|raw= {"type": "ExternalData","service": "geoshape","ids": "Q13518258"}}}
- To fix it, put a space before the two template braces or move them to a separate line.
- {{Maplink}}'s multiple features functionality doesn't work; use
|raw=instead.
