Forum:How to make a "Red Dot" map?

On Memory Gamma I am trying to start a system for making push-pin maps like Wikipedia does (sort of here maybe here and seen here.) But I can't seem to find how (or what) to add the more complex parts of a infobox template. - Lieutenant Ayala 04:05, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia template you need is Template:Location map. It is a very complicated version of Template:Superimpose. These templates work by floating text (or an image) above another image. I can make a very simple one here as an example:


 * Hello world!
 * Hello world!


 * Basically, it is just a divider with an absolute position inside of a divider with a relative position. Your map image goes inside the relative one, and your pushpin/text goes inside the absolute one. You change the position of the pushpin/text by changing the numbers for "left" and "top" in the absolute divider. ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 14:37, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
