Templates creating links to a Map sources page
[edit]All of these templates create a link to a "Map sources" page, using the British Ordnance Survey National Grid:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
{{gbmapping|SU 616 687}}
|
grid reference SU 616 687 |
{{gbmapping|cap=1|SU 616 687}}
|
Grid reference SU 616 687 |
{{gbmappingsmall|SU616687}}
|
SU616687 |
{{gbmappingsmall|SU 616 687}}
|
SU 616 687 |
{{gbmappingsmall|SU 616 687|name=Ufton Lock}}
|
SU 616 687 |
{{gbmaprim|SU 616 687|Ufton Lock}}
|
Ufton Lock |
{{gbmapscaled|SU616687|200|editor-selectable scale}}
|
editor-selectable scale |
{{oscoor gbx|461600_168700}}
|
|
The "prim" part of "gbmaprim" stands for primitive—gbmapping calls gbmaprim to actually create the link.

Templates creating direct links to specific websites
[edit]These templates are provided for any editor who wishes to illustrate a particular point being made in an article, they should not be used as a replacement for a map sources link. If you use them:
- please provide a link to the map sources page as well somewhere in the article
- be aware that the external link may change or may look different to someone else, e.g. multimap comes up at different sizes.
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| {{GBvosi|e=462500|n=168100|cty=|txt= this map printed in 1883}} |
this map printed in 1883 (at old-maps.co.uk) |
| {{mmukpc|PE21|0NB}} | PE21 0NB(at multimap—useful for railway station articles—but not much else) |
