A game wiki without a map is usually a wiki with forty screenshots of a map. The Maps extension gives you the real thing: an image you can pan and zoom, with markers readers can filter, linking to your pages.
It is an extension, so first check it is switched on for your wiki.

Each marker carries a name, a category readers can filter by, and a link. Placed by hand for a dozen landmarks, read from a table for anything that also has pages.
Add a map block to a page and select it.
In Properties, click Open Map Studio.
Click + New, give the map a name and a base image, then Create map. A large image is fine, it is served in tiles.
Place markers, give each a name, a category and a link, then Save map.
Map Studio is a full screen rather than a panel, because placing markers is a job you do at map size. Everything it writes is ordinary map settings underneath.
Map Studio, tab by tab
MapThe base image (one image, or tiles for a large map), its size, and the coordinate calibration that turns game coordinates into a spot on the image.
LayersOther base images readers can switch to, such as a height map or a satellite view.
CategoriesColour, label and icon of each filter. Trackable gives readers Mark as found. Panel extras adds a marker size, a coordinates list, a summary line and sub-type colours.
PointsMarkers placed by hand: + Add point, then click the map. Drag a marker to move it.
DataMarkers read from a table, and Link markers to dataset rows for markers you placed by hand.
RegionsOutlined areas such as biomes, each with a name, colour and link.
Data layersExtra overlays from a file or a table: spawn zones, resource nodes, loot crates.
ReaderHow readers use the map: the panel layout, a coordinate readout, their own pins, and related maps.
The blocks
Map embedThe one you want most of the time: a map on a page, with its filter panel.
Map listThe map's markers as a list under the map: category tabs, search, Show on map and Mark as found.
Current page mapThe same map, zoomed to this entry’s marker. Put it on a shared layout and every entry gets one.
Maps gridLists your maps, for a wiki with several regions.
Markers from a table
Placed by handFine for a dozen landmarks.When nothing else references them.
Read from a tableEvery chest, boss and resource node lives in a table with its coordinates.For anything that also has pages.
Then the map draws itself. Adding a row adds a marker, correcting a coordinate corrects the map, and nobody has to remember to update it, which is the failure mode of every hand-placed one.
It also means the map and the entry’s page cannot disagree, because they are reading the same row.
In the Data tab, Only rows where keeps one map’s rows when a table covers several maps, and Group the drill-down by sorts a category’s list by a column, such as note type.
Already placed markers by hand? Link markers to dataset rows connects them to their rows in one go, by name or by an id column, so they show the row’s fields too.
Each marker can open a page. To change where markers go, one by one or hundreds at once, see Change where map points link.
Categories readers can filter
Give each marker a category and readers get a filter. A map showing chests, bosses, merchants and fast-travel points at once is unreadable; the same map with four switchable layers is the feature people actually use.
Keep the list short and name categories the way a player would: what they are looking for, not what your data calls it.
Data layers
Some things are too many, or the wrong shape, to be markers: thousands of spawn zones, every ore node, loot crate areas. The Data layers tab draws them from a CSV or JSON file you upload, or from a table. Readers pick what to see: one creature at a time, several resources, or everything with a filter.
Filter panelThe panel over the map: categories as tiles with switches and a drill-down list.For a map of markers.
With data layersThe same panel, with a tile per data layer that opens its list (a creature, resources, crate types), plus the marker categories and Pins for readers’ own points.For a map with data layers. Pick it in the Reader tab.
Search the mapFinds markers, and on a map with data layers also creatures, resources and other layer entries.
Copy map linkA link that opens the map as the reader sees it: the open list, their picks, places, overlays and pins.
?marker=A link that opens the map with one marker selected.
Fullscreen, zoomFullscreen map, zoom buttons and a marker size switch.
Map pickerTop right: the map’s variants, and with Reader > Map picker set to All maps of the wiki, every other map too (optionally named, ordered and pictured by a directory dataset).
Map imagerySwitches between the base images from the Layers tab.
Cursor coordinatesWhere the cursor is, in game coordinates, when the Reader tab turns it on.
On a phoneThe panel becomes a sheet at the bottom, opened by a Filters button.
