Usage

First, create the article that you need this template for. Let's use Canada–United States relations as an example.
Create a map using the following name: File:<first country name> <second country name> Locator.png (for example, File:Canada USA Locator.png). (Differently named maps can be specified by using the "map=" parameter.)
party1 is the first governing entity of the article (in this case, Canada)
party2 is the second governing entity of the article (in this case, USA)
map is an optional named parameter. Using map=Filename.png will use a specific locator map named "Filename.png". (Default is "party1 party2 Locator.png".)
filetype is an optional named parameter. For example, putting filetype=svg will use an SVG image under the same name, e.g. File:Canada USA Locator.svg. (Default is "png".)
size is an optional named parameter to specify the width of the template in pixels (default is "250px")
mission1 is an optional named parameter to specify the diplomatic mission of party1
mission2 is an optional named parameter to specify the diplomatic mission of party2
envoytitle1 is an optional named parameter to specify the title of the diplomatic envoy of party1
envoy1 is an optional named parameter to specify the name of the diplomatic envoy of party1
envoytitle2 is an optional named parameter to specify the title of the diplomatic envoy of party2
envoy2 is an optional named parameter to specify the name of the diplomatic envoy of party2
flagvariant1 is an optional named parameter to specify a flag variant supported by the corresponding Country data template for the first party.
flagvariant2 is an optional named parameter to specify a flag variant supported by the corresponding Country data template for the second party.

Map

The template checks for the existence of a map. Articles for which a map does not exist are added to Category:Infobox bilateral relations usage without maps

SVG maps highlighting the relevant countries can be easily created using a text editor, without need of graphics software. Download File:BlankMap-World6.svg, and open the file in a text editor. Add the following code to the source, just before the </style> tag:

.xx {fill:#339933;}
.yy {fill:#E08020;}

Where xx and yy are the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes for party1 and party2, respectively. Save the file, rename it to the preferred name as described above, and upload the file.
