=Image Maps= ImageMaps is an extension for MediaWiki. An image map is a list of coordinates in a specific image, which hyperlinks areas of the image to multiple destinations (in contrast to a normal image link, in which the entire area of the image links to a single destination). For example, a map of the world may have each country hyperlinked to further information about that country. The intention of an image map is to provide an easy way of linking various parts of an image without dividing the image into separate image files.

Rules

 * The Image must be a rip from the game (like this), or an official map artwork (like this).
 * Creating Image Maps with less than 8 links is discouraged.
 * A Map Image's height or width in article must never exceed 400 pixels, Either of dimensions must never exceed the half of the other dimension. (e.g : If the height is 200, the width should not exceed 100)
 * If the Map is from Platform game, the template should include a variable for the infobox, so it should appear inside the infobox correctly.
 * The Map Image's width or width in the infobox must never exceed 300 pixels
 * Creating a Image Map template for a World's level in a Platform game is discouraged.
 * However creating a Select Level Map (such as this) is allowed
 * Image Maps of multiple Select Level screens in the same game must share the same template with a variable to specify the World.

Creating an Image Map

 * 1) First thing is specify the image, upload one if none exists.
 * 2) Specify the name of the template that will contain the Image Map, The name must contain the name if the game plus additional 'map' at the end.
 * 3) Start creating the template, If you cannot specify the coordinates, you could use online tools such as this.
 * 4) Once Done, preview the template and check it appear correctly, and that links works (press CTRL while clicking on the map, to open on another window, and to keep the current page).
 * 5) If every things works correctly save the template, and start adding it to articles.
