Purpose[edit | edit source]
Making clickable map templates and adding them the Maps and Gazetteers section of the county pages.
Task List[edit | edit source]
Instructions[edit | edit source]
1. Create image map, instructions here.
Hint: When entering the name of the page for the county in the "Href" box, I usually copy and paste these county names so I don't misspell them and then have to "move" or rename the template)
- a. You may see %2C after the name of the county in the first line of code.
- b. You must change the %2C to a comma.
The wiki does not recognize the %2C.
2. Save the image coding as a template, for example: template:KS Allen County.
- a. Must have the word "template:" as part of the name of the image template. Note the colon.
- b. First two capital letters are the two letter post office codes for each state.
- c. Next is the name of the county for which you are creating the image map.
- d. Add the this line of code to the bottom of all the code. Make sure it follows immediately after "</imagemap>, no line brake.This give the image map a category.
- <noinclude>[[Category:Image map templates]]</noinclude>
Note the noinclude just means that the text for the category will not show on the page even though it has been placed in a category.
3.Limit size to 250px. See Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Image Maps
4. Here is a completed template for Allen County, Kansas as an example:
<imagemap>Image:Allen,_Kansas.JPG|250px

Placing template[edit | edit source]
1.Place the clickable map under the heading Maps and Gazetteers, and under first template, for example, under {{KS Maps Intro|Allen}} on the Allen County, Kansas page by typing:
- {{KS Neighboring Counties Intro|county={{County Name}}}}
- {{KS Neighboring Counties Intro|county={{County Name}}}}
- There may be a link to a image of the county under this template that looks like our image map. If so delete it as you will be replacing it with a clickable image map.
2.In place of "County Name" enter the template name for the county you are adding the image map too, for example:
- {{KS Neighboring Counties Intro|county={{KS Allen County}}}}
- {{KS Neighboring Counties Intro|county={{KS Allen County}}}}
3.It will look like this, using Allen County, Kansas as an example:
=== Maps and Gazetteers ===
{{KS Maps Intro|Allen}}
