Help:Maps Extension

Maps can be embedded in the pages of any community.

Adding a Map Visually
Communities can use the MapEditor tool (Special:MapEditor) to create maps. Similar to a normal Google Map, you can zoom in and out and scroll to get to the point on the map you want to mark. You can then choose to mark a point, create a line, or draw a shape. You cannot use fictional maps.

From thereon, you can mark more points or do more tasks until you are happy with the map presentation. If you want to change more of the external features of the map (which mapping service to use, what mode the map should display in), you can click "Edit Map Parameters".

Once you have completed work on the map, you can click "Export to Wiki Code". A pop-up will show with the wikitext that is required to be copy-pasted into the page you want the map to be embedded in.

Adding a Map Via Source Code
If you are familiar with the extension's syntax, you can always code the maps by hand. Otherwise, to insert a map using source code, you can use the syntax. This function can be used in multiple ways:
 * To display a set of coordinates, you can use syntax like  to display the exact coordinates of a place (in this case, it will be Moscow.)
 * To display a named location or address, you can use the syntax  to display the address or location recorded in Google Maps. You can also use syntax like   or   as long as you give the map enough information on where to find the point you are looking for (Country, State, Suburb, etc.)
 * To display multiple points the following syntax is used:

There are plenty of options available for coding. A full list of things you can do with the Maps extension as well as the codes and examples you need to make your maps presentable are available here on the Mapping site. Please note that FANDOM is running version 3.5 of the Maps extension.
