From another module

Import this module, e.g. local mf = require('Module:Mapframe')
Pass a table of parameter names/values to the Bysen:Mono function. See {{Maplink}} documentation for parameter names and descriptions. E.g. local mapframe = mf._main(parameters)
Preprocess Bysen:Mono's output before returning it, e.g. return frame:preprocess(mapframe)

Set up on another wiki

Create template and module:
- Import this module and its template to that wiki (or copy the code over, giving attribution in the edit summary). Optionally, give them a name that makes sense in that wiki's language
- On Wikidata, add them to the items Q52554979 and Q27882107
Localise the module
- Edit the top bits of the module, between the comments -- ##### Localisation (L10n) settings ##### and -- #### End of L10n settings ####, replacing values between " " symbols with local values (when necessary)
Add documentation
- to the template (e.g. by translating Template:Maplink/doc, adjusting as necessary per any localisations made in the previous step)
- to the module (please transfer/translate these instructions so that wikimedians who read your wiki but not the English Wikipedia can also set up the module and template on another wiki).
