Alt text[edit]

Hi Mike! Thanks for the great template. Understand that alt text is autogenerated for the location map. Would you be able to add support for custom alt text (similar to how caption functions at the moment)? Thanks in advance! Rehman 11:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Rehman: I've now added support for manual alt= tags. Alt tags aren't supported on Wikidata at the moment, they're under discussion at d:Wikidata:Property proposal/alt. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:44, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Using the Kartographer extension[edit]

Hello. Is it possible to have an option to opt-out of the old "location maps" method, and instead make use of the Kartographer Extension? I tried using the mapframe on my sandbox, and it seems to be working beautifully. Can we add it to this template, so that wikidata-infoboxes can use it too? I personally prefer the old location maps to be removed completely, but of course, that is something to talk about. Cheers, Rehman 04:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
