HOW TO...

...create a wiki page for your MHP?

Fill in this template and link the respective MHP name in the table above.

... 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: wikimapia.org www.ralf-wessels.de	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.
	for an existing MHP	Add 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the hydrosite 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext
	for a planned MHP	Include (_grey) infront of the line that you add. For example, add (_grey) 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the hydrosite 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext.
