Template:Map/Link/doc

Use this template instead of creating text-links to maps. Why is that useful? Test it yourself:


 * 1) ordinary link: Dalaran
 * 2) fancy MLink:

As you can see, hovering over the MLink will show a small preview of the map and clicking on it will open the Map Lightbox instead of taking you directly to the map's file page.

If you're unsure about the zone's name, check the master list for the zone and alt parameters.

Usage
zone


 * zone : name of the zone whose map you want to show
 * alt (optional) : a small number of zones have multiple maps and need this parameter as well
 * text (optional) : use this parameter if you want to show text other than the zone's name
 * size (optional) : size of the preview map in pixels (but without units!); defaults to 300
