Swap the live {{#map}} embed for a link to yezur.xyz (embed didn't initialise client-side); keep #map syntax as docs |
Rebuild as a landing: open-the-map CTA + start-here gateways over the reference docs |

The Map of Yezur
the atlas of the world — and the workings behind it
Pan, zoom, search, and query the whole world at yezur.xyz.
This is the home of Yezur's map. It holds the world as geography — coastlines, cities, roads, and borders — all editable and queryable through an OpenStreetMap-style stack. These pages document how the map is built and how the rest of the wiki links into it.
Start here
Linking to the map
Point an article at a feature with {{Node}}, {{Way}}, {{Relation}}, or {{Coordslink}}.
Embedding a map
Drop a live, interactive map into any page with the {{#map:}} parser function.
The data model
Nodes, ways, and relations — the three kinds of thing every map feature is built from.
Linking to the map from an article
Articles point at real map features with these templates:
| Template | Points to | Example |
|---|---|---|
{{Node|id|label}} |
a single point (a place, a peak) | City centre |
{{Way|id|label}} |
a line or area (a road, a lake) | Coast road |
{{Relation|id|label}} |
grouped features (a country, a route) | Andusia |
{{Coordslink|lat|lon|zoom|label}} |
a point by coordinates | Old Harbour |
Embedding a live map
The {{#map:}} parser function drops an interactive map into a page. Working parameters:
| Parameter | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
zoom |
initial zoom level | zoom=6
|
center |
centre point, as lat,lon |
center=12.34,56.78
|
layer |
base layer name | layer=satellite
|
query |
an Overpass query to draw | query=[out:json];node(60117);out;
|
For example, {{#map:zoom=5|center=12.34,56.78}} 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.
The encyclopedia describes the world in prose; the Dictionary records its tongues.
