This template appears not to be working - leads to a page of random symbols. This applies to the examples in the documentation as well as to usage in articles such as [[Leeds Country Way]]. Does anyone know whether this is a temporary glitch, or whether the template is defunct? It is transcluded in a lot of articles - certainly 500+, didn't look beyond that.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Templates creating links to a Map sources page
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.
Named arguments
|name=a title for the location on the GeoHack page, also used by {{GeoGroup}}
Templates creating direct links to specific websites
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 |
|---|---|
{{Bing GB map link|PE21|0NB}}
|
PE21 0NB (at multimap—useful for railway station articles—but not much else) |

{{Gbmappingsmall}}—version for use in infoboxes (wrapper for{{Ordnance Survey coordinates}});{{iem4ibx}}—direct link for the Irish grid reference system
Not working
This template appears not to be working - leads to a page of random symbols. This applies to the examples in the documentation as well as to usage in articles such as Leeds Country Way. Does anyone know whether this is a temporary glitch, or whether the template is defunct? It is transcluded in a lot of articles - certainly 500+, didn't look beyond that.
