Template documentationThis template is intended to provide general information about a map file to be uploaded to the file namespace. It's primary function is to serve the viewer with the basic details of the file in a easy to read collapsible table, using the {{navplatephoto}} template.
Usage
Copy and paste the following syntax into the page and fill out all parameters where necessary. Any empty parameter will be rendered as missing on preview. Filling in as much information here will provide greater detail for the viewer on the file page. Check all details are correct and save. Don't forget to add appropriate categories at the bottom of the file page. Without these, the uploaded file will have reduced visibility throughout the site.
