Swap the live {{#map}} embed for a link to yezur.xyz (embed didn't initialise client-side); keep #map syntax as docs

This is the home of '''Yezur's map''' — the slippy map, editing tools, and data behind [https://yezur.xyz yezur.xyz]. Where the [[Main Page|encyclopedia]] describes the world in prose, the map holds it as geography: coastlines, cities, roads, and borders, all editable and queryable. These pages document how the map is built and how the rest of the wiki links into it.

== Linking to the map from an article ==
<div style="display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:1em; margin-top:0.6em;">
Articles point at real map features with these templates:

! Template !! Points to !! Example
'''[[Map:Features|Map features]]'''<br>
|-
The keys and values that describe things on the map — roads, rivers, borders, and places.
| <code><nowiki>{{Node|id|label}}</nowiki></code> || a single point (a place, a peak) || {{Node|221905|City centre}}
</div>
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Way|id|label}}</nowiki></code> || a line or area (a road, a lake) || {{Way|123456|Coast road}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Relation|id|label}}</nowiki></code> || grouped features (a country, a route) || {{Relation|481363|Andusia}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coordslink|lat|lon|zoom|label}}</nowiki></code> || a point by coordinates || {{Coordslink|12.34|56.78|10|Old Harbour}}
|}


== Embedding a live map ==

{| class="wikitable"

! Parameter !! Meaning !! Example
|-
| <code>zoom</code> || initial zoom level || <code>zoom=6</code>
|-
| <code>center</code> || centre point, as <code>lat,lon</code> || <code>center=12.34,56.78</code>
|-
| <code>layer</code> || base layer name || <code>layer=satellite</code>
|-
| <code>query</code> || an Overpass query to draw || <code><nowiki>query=[out:json];node(60117);out;</nowiki></code>
|}
 
For example, <code><nowiki>{{#map:zoom=5|center=12.34,56.78}}</nowiki></code> embeds a map centred on those coordinates.
 
== The data model ==
Yezur's map follows the familiar three-part model:
* '''Nodes''' — single points (a well, a summit, a village centre).
* '''Ways''' — ordered runs of nodes, forming roads and rivers or the outlines of areas.
* '''Relations''' — groups of nodes and ways that together make something larger, such as an administrative border or a numbered route.
 
Every feature carries a stable ID — that is what the linking templates above point to, and what an Overpass query returns.
 
== Companion works ==
* '''[[Main Page|The Encyclopedia]]''' — the world of Yezur, its lands and peoples.
* '''[[Dictionary:Main Page|The Dictionary]]''' — the interlingual dictionary of Yezur's languages.

The Map of Yezur
how the world is mapped — its features, tags, and conventions
Pan, zoom, search, and query the whole world at yezur.xyz.

This namespace documents how Yezur's map is built: the keys and values used to describe what is on it, and the conventions for tagging and naming features.

Map features
The keys and values that describe things on the map — roads, rivers, borders, and places.

Conventions
How features are tagged, named, and classified across the map.
