Map Image: Click on this area to upload or select the image you would like to use for your Map. This field supports wikitext, and the character limit is 200. It will also feed future map search results. Map Description (optional): This will add a text description above your Map in the Map namespace to tell viewers as well as Google what this Map is about and how it fits into the context of your wiki. This will close the Interactive Maps Editor and take you to Special:MovePage. If you wish to change the name after the Map's creation, hover over the button with the three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner on the Map itself and select the option "move". Your Map will be viewable using the URL /wiki/Map: My_New_Map, where My New Map is the name that you chose. Map Name: This is the title of your Map.

Clicking the pencil icon present on the map itself will always open the visual Interactive Maps Editor, regardless of your preferred editor. If you have the source editor selected as your preference, these options are reversed and the button in the dropdown reads "Edit map". Clicking "Edit source" from the dropdown menu will instead take you to the source editor and load the base JSON ( JavaScript Object Notation) structure for the Map. Unless you have set your preferences to use the source editor, the "Edit" button at the top right of any page in the Map namespace will open the visual Interactive Maps Editor, which is a user-friendly option to edit Maps quickly and easily. When creating a Map via the button on Special:AllMaps, this namespace is automatically added, omitting the need to make this part of the page title. Maps created in any other namespace, including as a userspace subpage, will not be correctly generated. You can find a link "Interactive Maps" in the Explore menu of the top navigation, or you can directly navigate to the creation tool by visiting Special:AllMaps on your wiki, where you can create your own Map and find a list of every Map that exists on your community.Īll Interactive Maps live in the Map: content namespace, e.g., /wiki/Map:My_New_Map.
