Template:Meetup graticule/Documentation

Usage:

{{meetup graticule
| map=<map lat="37" lon="-121" date="2005-05-21" />
| lat=37
| lon=-121
| date=2005-05-21
}}

Optional parameters:

| graticule_name=London West

| graticule_link=London West, United Kingdom

This template is design for "meetup pages", pages which name look like "2008-05-21 37 -121". For now, it contains a map, a category links. It may evolve to contain more usefull informations.

Right now, map argument is mandatory, while beeing so redundant with other informations. I hope it will change in the future (I think it needs code change!)

If graticule_link is not provided, graticule_name will be used as link. If neither of them is provided, {{{lat}}},{{{lon}}} will be used, as some graticule pages already got that kind of "redirection page".

Hopefully, the author of this template checks here periodically... There are two things that don't work right with this. First, the graticule_link doesn't product a link when there is a comma in the name (even though the example shows a comma!). If it doesn't change, look at the Melbourne, Florida page for an example. Second, it is very sad that the use of magic words (such as {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY}}) for the date doesn't work within the <map /> part. Perhaps a special symbol for TODAY could be used for people who would like the map to always show the current location. -- Nurbles 14 Jun 2008
