Dispute about Infobox content

[edit]

An issue has come up: should the infobox to this article contain the field "government_type", filled in with "Parliamentary constitutional monarchy". Since this issue affects all ten provinces and the three territories, a Request for Comment has been started on the Canadian Wikipedians Notice Board. If you are interested in this issue, please come to the Notice Board and contribute to the discussion. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Annotations on map

[edit]

I looked at the use of {{Infobox province or territory of Canada}}, and I am completely stumped to figure out the template causes the feature to appear, so if someone can tell me how the magic is being done ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke) I would appreciate it. I mean, I've written some really hairy templtes that did amazing things, but this one has amazed me.

My question is this: how the hell are annotations appearing on the map?

I mean, it's not using {{Annotated image}} so I can't for the life of me figure out how it was done. I'll keep looking, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.

"Understanding of things by me is only made possible by viewers (of my comments) like you."

Thank you.

Hi Rfc1394, {{Infobox province or territory of Canada}} has built into it {{Canada provinces map}} which places the annotations. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
