Customizing query results

As parts of its integration with Semantic MediaWiki, Maps adds several mapping result formats. These formats all support the template parameter, which can be used to customize the information shown when clicking a marker or shape.

Default display without template

By default, the information shown

{{#ask:[[Category:Cities]]
 | format=map
 | ?Coordinates
 | ?Located in
 | ?Population
 | ?Surface area
}}
