[edit] Adding yourself to usermap
Please feel free to add your location to the map, the syntax is:
Townname|Username|Description and perhaps a link|Marker
latitude, langitude|Username|Description and perhaps a link|Marker
Specifying the marker is unnecessary if you are a user, only Core Team Members need to set it to Image:Greenmarker.png. If you use a link to your userpage like [[User:Username]], please don't include a pipe for renaming as it will break the API.
If you are curious about how to get your coordinates, here is a short guide of how to do it.
First visit http://maps.google.com and search for your location. If Google shows it for you, there is a button called "link to this page" at the top right. It looks like this (red circle):
Click it and you will see a popup:
Copy the part of the URL that looks like ?ll=39.7906,-86.134529& (these are the coordinates for the Indianapolis Center). The values stand for latitude and longitude, respectively. Copy that part to the display_points section above in a new line and add your content.
To add yourself to the map, you must have an account on the wiki.
- Click the registration link at the top right of the page if you haven't an account yet, and then log in.
- Click the "Edit" link at the top right (about 1-2 cm under your username).
- Add the data as shown above to the <display_points>...</display_points> above the </display_points> line in a new line :)
- please make sure you do not append extra newlines to the GMaps-api data section. This causes the parsing to fail. After someone updated a revision after my current post, my Map-marker went away.
- Save the page
