Mapframe maps in infoboxes
Example of a mapframe map in an infobox

This project page tracks the deployment of mapframe maps to infobox templates. The Infobox mapframe module assists in producing maps with limited or no additional inputs needed when an infobox is used in an article.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Mapframe maps in infoboxes was held in mid-2020. See the RFC for complete details, but a summary of the closes is:

1. Mapframe mapping capability, and standard parameters for displaying mapframe maps (i.e. use of Module:Infobox mapframe), should be added to infoboxes
2. No consensus for mapframe maps to be on by default
3. Map placement should be determined by local consensus at each infobox
4. If users do not specify coordinates in a parameter, coordinates from Wikidata should be used
5. Switcher functionality should not be enabled by default

There are various ways in which individual infobox templates can customise how mapframe maps are used, including:

• Either on or off by default (with a parameter like |mapframe= no or yes to override the default)
• Default symbol, colour, zoom
• Using or not using Wikidata coordinates (when local values for coordinates are not provided)
• Showing a default geomask like country (P17) or located in the administrative territorial entity (P131), if such values are present on the page's Wikidata item

For instructions on how to add to infoboxes, see Module:Infobox mapframe#Automatic maps in infoboxes. See also Template:Infobox mapframe#Examples.
