Template intended to simplify adding a standardized and formatted caption below a map indicating the location of something (e.g. a country), possibly referring to the map's main region and optionally also to a shown subregion. Original use within infoboxes (e.g. see articles on European countries). For a complete set of elements of reasonable length, a width of (minimally) 250px (without extra padding or margins) should be available.

Parameters

Required parameters shown in bold italics Script error: No such module "aligned table".

Note 
If country, region or subregion is exactly the name of a page in article space, the template automatically creates a link to it. You can still put a link here manually, using the usual syntax.

Examples

Code Raw result (in unformatted box, compare to handling in Infobox)
{{map caption}}
Location of Map caption/doc (orange)
{{map caption |region=Europe |legend=European location legend en.png}}
Location of Map caption/doc (orange)

in Europe (white)  –  [Legend]

{{map caption |countryprefix=the |region=Europe |subregion=the [[European Union]] |legend=European location legend en.png}}
Location of the Map caption/doc (orange)

– in Europe (tan & white)
– in the European Union (tan)  [Legend]

 Typical sample for an article on a European Union member that needs no "the" before its name, for otherwise identical output:
{{map caption |region=Europe |subregion=EU |legend=European location legend en.png}}
Location of Map caption/doc (orange)

– in Europe (tan & white)
– in the European Union (tan)  [Legend]

Infobox usage of code (as intended) — in which the alignment, the padding/margins, and font are rendered differently (this template adjusts for that infobox):
Sample for article named 'Armenia', about a non-European country

{{Infobox Country or territory|
|common_name = Armenia
|image_map = Europe location ARM.png
|map_caption = {{map caption}}
|(some required infobox parameters omitted from sample)
}}


Sample for article named 'Belarus', about a non-member of the EU
{{Infobox Country or territory|
|common_name = Belarus
|image_map = Europe location BLR.png
|map_caption = {{map caption |region=Europe |legend=European location legend en.png}}
|(some required infobox parameters omitted from sample)
}}


Sample for article named 'Netherlands', about a member of the EU
{{Infobox Country or territory|
|common_name = the Netherlands
|image_map = EU location NED.png
|map_caption = {{map caption |countryprefix=the |region=Europe |subregion=the [[European Union]] |legend=European location legend en.png}}
|(some required infobox parameters omitted from sample)
}}
