Edit the infobox template (or its sandbox). Add lines like the following examples to the infobox. Replace numbers (Bysen:Kbd, or Bysen:Kbd to Bysen:Kbd), with the appropriate number based on how many other image or data parameters are already present.

If placing near the top of infobox If placing at/near the bottom of the infobox
| image4     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto}}
| caption4   = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|autocaption}}
| header97   = {{#if:{{{mapframe|}}}|Location}}
| data98     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto}}
| data99     = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|autocaption}}

If the template has a {{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters}}, add the following parameters:

| mapframe | mapframe-caption | mapframe-custom | mapframe-id | mapframe-coord | mapframe-wikidata | mapframe-point | mapframe-shape | mapframe-frame-width | mapframe-frame-height | mapframe-shape-fill | mapframe-shape-fill-opacity | mapframe-stroke-color | mapframe-stroke-colour | mapframe-stroke-width | mapframe-marker | mapframe-marker-color | mapframe-marker-colour | mapframe-geomask | mapframe-geomask-stroke-color | mapframe-geomask-stroke-colour | mapframe-geomask-stroke-width | mapframe-geomask-fill | mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity | mapframe-zoom | mapframe-length_km | mapframe-length_mi | mapframe-area_km2 | mapframe-area_mi2 | mapframe-frame-coordinates | mapframe-frame-coord | mapframe-switcher

Once this is done, the above parameters will be available to users of the template.

  • Defaults values for these parameters can also be specified in the Bysen:Kbd calls above, e.g. {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe|auto|mapframe-marker=library}} means that the library marker will be used, unless a different value is passed in to the template.
  • The maps are off by default, which means maps will not be displayed unless |mapframe=yes is present in the template call. To turn maps on by default, in the Bysen:Kbd calls above add |onByDefault=yes – which means maps will be displayed unless |mapframe=no is present in the template call. Bysen:Kbd can also be set to a conditional, such as if another parameters is present, e.g. |onByDefault={{#if:{{{pushpin_map|}}}|no|yes}}
  • Add the new parameters to the document. You can use {{Infobox mapframe/doc/parameters}}. Specify default values (if any are used in the Bysen:Kbd calls) using by adding parameters in the form Bysen:Ttparameter-nameBysen:Ttvalue. The default output is shown here collapsed:

Bysen:Cot Bysen:Infobox mapframe/doc/parameters Bysen:Cob

  • Parameters can also be added to the TemplateData can also be added by copy-pasting from Bysen:Edit
