Usage

Optional parameters: none.

This template is designed for GLOBALHASH "meetup pages", pages with names that look like "2010-03-28 global". For now, it contains a map of the globalhash graticule (although without a pin showing the globalhash itself) and category links. It may evolve to contain more useful information.

The map is automagically generated, based on the date parameter. No lat and lon parameters are needed as the globalhash is the same wherever you are.

It is to be hoped that at some point a pin showing the location of the globalhash can be placed onto the map. For now you'll have to make do with just the graticule as a whole. Watch this space.

-If graticule_link is not provided, graticule_name will be used as link. If neither of them is provided, <nowiki>{{{lat}}},{{{lon}}}</nowiki> will be used, as almost all graticule pages have that as a "redirection page".
+The map is automagically generated, based on the date parameter.  No lat and lon parameters are needed as the globalhash is the same wherever you are.
-The "retro" argument, when set to '''1''', excludes the meetup page from the ''Meetup on YYYY-MM-DD'' category and places it instead in [[:Category:Retro meetup]].  This is to be used for retro expeditions such as the [[Origin geohash achievement]].
+It is to be hoped that at some point a pin showing the location of the globalhash can be placed onto the map.  For now you'll have to make do with just the graticule as a whole.  Watch this space.
