FAQ

Display discrepancies

Hi, I was looking at Link light rail, specifically this version & noticed some discrepancies.

When not logged in & using MS Edge, I see the {{Attached KML}} template but no button link at the bottom of the window for a map.
When logged in as User:Peaceray & using MS Edge with the Vector Legacy (2010) skin, I see the template & a semi-transparent rectangular box towards the bottom right of the window that partly obscures the templates & categories. When I click on within the box, it then displays a map in the full window. I also see this behavior with Firefox, my main browser.
When logged in as User:PeacerayAsANewbie & using MS Edge with the default MinervaNeue skin, I see the template & the text Map & a clickable globe icon to the left & below the templates at the bottom. If I click on that icon, it then displays a floating frame containing the map.

As you might guess, I have PeacerayAsANewbie as an alternate account to see what newly registered editors see & to use for training them.

This is not something that particularly bothers me, but I thought that module editors might wish to know about these differences. Peaceray (talk) 18:13, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What should happen if no KML?

Using {{Attached KML}} at Charles Street (Baltimore) gives "Lua error in Module:Attached_KML at line 197: attempt to index local 'kml_entity' (a nil value)". That article has Wikidata item Charles Street (Q2449172). The module correctly reads the item to determine that kml_qid is (Q26335260). Problem: that has been deleted so kml_qid is nil. It appears from the deletion edit summary that previously the KML was empty. Should the module test for that as it does for pcall_result? I suppose the fix for the article is to delete the line calling the template, but perhaps the module should do something different? Johnuniq (talk) 01:46, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Route map:" appears when not wanted

Articles like M25 motorway or M11 motorway or Ohio State Route 515 or District of Columbia Route 295 or ... have at the top right the text "Route map:", which isn't clickable. Can this please be removed? Fram (talk) 16:40, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
