Template:World map

Draws the region's own in-game world map, with every place on it linked to its article. Hovering a place shows its name and, where the reader has previews turned on, a preview card of the article. Contents 1 Usage 2 How the links are made 3 Coverage 4 Notes Usage On a region article, with no parameter: {{World map}} The region is taken from the page name. To draw a different region's map, name it: {{World map|Victoria Island}} Sheets exist for Maple Island, Victoria Island and Ossyria, plus a closer one of El Nath. Anywhere else renders nothing, so the template is safe to place on any region article before its sheet exists. How the links are made The sheet and the position of every place on it come from the game client and are held in Module:WorldMap/data. That data records each place by name, not by map id, because the client and this wiki number maps differently: the client calls Lith Harbor 10000000 where the wiki stores 104000000. Matching on id appears to work and is quietly wrong, since a town's client id collides with one of its own shop interiors, which sends Lith Harbor to its armour shop. Names are matched against map articles when the page is rendered rather than baked into the data, so a map article written later joins the world map on its own with nothing to regenerate. Coverage To report how many places on a sheet have an article: {{#invoke:WorldMap|coverage|Victoria Island}} Which currently gives: 55 of 56. Notes Hotspots are ordinary wikilinks rather than script, so they work with JavaScript off and count as real links from the region article. They are drawn invisible until hovered, because the sheet already paints and labels its own towns and a marker on top would cover the art it points at.
