'''Zone Map''' creates a zone map to which notes can be attached. Zone map works for all zones and instances. Previously, <nowiki>{{Instance Map}}</nowiki> was used for instances, but it has been folded into this template.

== Important fields ==
; zone : The zone map to display. Also includes non-zones like [[Outland]], [[Azeroth]], [[Kalimdor]], [[Eastern Kingdoms]], and the Universe.
; section : Maps with multiple floors (sections) can be accessed via the section parameter
; phase : For zones with maps that change phase — Lost Isles, Gilneas and Mount Hyjal for example — pass <code>|phase=''n''</code> to show the desired phase. By default the unphased map is displayed
; old : For zones with maps that have change since a patch like ''[[Cataclysm]]''; pass <code>|old=''n''</code> to show the desired old map. Use a given number to show a different old map if there are multiple. By default the present map is displayed. See [[Alien Egg]] for an example.
; notes : A list of the notes which should appear on the zone map (use the {{t|Zone Map Note}} template to create notes). You can include as many notes as you like on each map.

== Optional ==
; zonetext : Changes the text displayed in the top left. This text defaults to the input for '''zone'''.
; zonelink : Changes which page the top left text links to. For example, "Violet Hold (instance)". Link defaults to the input for '''zone'''.
; size : Width of the map, in pixels. Can be any size up to 1002 (default 501).
; float : Override float option (default none)
; displaynotes : A text display with additional explanation on what the icons mean. Use manual <nowiki> </nowiki> elements to keep width to a minimum
; right=1 : Pass if the display notes should be right-aligned rather than left-aligned
; displaynotestop : Adjust the top anchor of the displaynotes div. Default is 10%

== Example ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
{{Zone Map|zone=Elwynn Forest|notes=
{{Zone Map Note|25.8|89.6|Skull|Hogger}}
{{Zone Map Note|39.4|60.5|Star|Graveyard}}
{{Zone Map Note|24.4|78|Cross|Raid meets here}}
|displaynotes={{Raidicon|Star}} Graveyard {{Raidicon|Cross}} Meeting point {{Raidicon|Skull}} Hogger
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{Zone Map|zone=Elwynn Forest|notes=
{{Zone Map Note|25.8|89.6|Skull|Hogger}}
{{Zone Map Note|39.4|60.5|Star|Graveyard}}
{{Zone Map Note|24.4|78|Cross|Raid meets here}}
|displaynotes={{Raidicon|Star}} Graveyard {{Raidicon|Cross}} Meeting point {{Raidicon|Skull}} Hogger
}}

== Maps ==
Zone Map (and {{t|Coords}}) uses [[Special:PrefixIndex/File:VZ|VZ-maps]] to draw the map notes on. A VZ-map is a file redirect to the [[:Category:Coordinate-safe maps|coordinate-safe map]] named using the name Blizzard gave to the map as found in the game files. VZ-map redirects should be created according to the following pattern:

<code>File:VZ-''Zone name on {{SITENAME}}''.jpg</code>

Instances and select capital cities have multiple floors drawn as separate maps. As an example, [[Orgrimmar]] has the main map ([[:File:WorldMap-Orgrimmar.jpg|WorldMap-Orgrimmar.jpg]]) and the [[Cleft of Shadow]] ([[:File:WorldMap-Orgrimmar1.jpg|WorldMap-Orgrimmar1.jpg]]). These are accessed via the VZ-maps [[:File:VZ-Orgrimmar.jpg|VZ-Orgrimmar.jpg]] and [[:File:VZ-Orgrimmar-s1.jpg|VZ-Orgrimmar-s1.jpg]].

Blizzard is not always consistent as far as numbering is concerned, so look at the maps section of the main article for the zone to see how Blizzard decided to number the maps. [[Dalaran]], for instance, is drawn as [[:File:WorldMap-Dalaran.jpg|WorldMap-Dalaran.jpg]] (main map) and [[:File:WorldMap-Dalaran1.jpg|WorldMap-Dalaran1.jpg]] ([[Underbelly]]). As an exception, these maps have differently-named VZ-maps redirecting to them: [[:File:VZ-Dalaran.jpg|VZ-Dalaran.jpg]] points to the main map, whereas [[:File:VZ-Underbelly.jpg|VZ-Underbelly.jpg]] redirects to the Underbelly map. The standard [[:File:VZ-Dalaran-s1.jpg|VZ-Dalaran-s1.jpg]] VZ-map also work for Underbelly.

Zones with phased terrains have a similar syntax. The [[Krasarang Wilds]] map ([[:File:VZ-Krasarang Wilds.jpg|VZ-Krasarang Wilds.jpg]]) exists as a file redirect to [[:File:WorldMap-Krasarang.jpg|WorldMap-Krasarang.jpg]]. Since Krasarang has an alternate phase map ([[:File:WorldMap-Krasarang_Terrain1.jpg|WorldMap-Krasarang_Terrain1.jpg]]), the VZ-map redirecting to it would be [[:File:VZ-Krasarang Wilds-t1.jpg|VZ-Krasarang Wilds-t1.jpg]].
