How to create a wiki page for your MHP
Fill in this template and link the respective MHP name in the table above.
How to mark your MHP in the map
Description of procedure | Examples | ||
Step 1 |
Convert your geographical coordinates into GoogleMaps compatible coordinates using one of the websites below: |
If the coordinates of your MHP were 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E, the converted values would be 6.577778, 38.697306. | |
Step 2 |
Insert the converted coordinates into the "Wikitext" of the map followed by the name of the MHP site plus the geographic coordinates. |
| |
Add 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the hydrosite 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext | |||
Include (_grey) infront of the line that you add. |
