WAAT routing system

Instruction manual 100px

WAAT provides a database including all airports to easily display airport positions and flight routes. How does it work? To add an airport: go to the International/List of airports and add your airport (alphabetized by city name!) choose a three alphabetic character WAAT-airport code which is not used so far instead of inserting the coordinates of the airport position directly, they have to be stored separately to use them everywhere else go to the WAAT-airport coordinates template and add (alphabetized by the WAAT-airport code) the line {{ #ifeq:{{{1}}} | your WAAT-airport code | coordinates of the airport }} in the table just insert {{WAAT-coord | your WAAT-airport code | the zoom level }} to display the coordinates (clickable link) To show an airport in the multimaps extension: make sure that the coordinates of the airport are stored in the WAAT-airport coordinates template add to the multimap | marker = {{WAAT-marker | WAAT-airport code | headline (optional) | text (optional) | file name for marker (optional) }} Loading map... {"tileLayer":"//{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png","attribution":"\u0026copy; \u003Ca href=\"http://osm.org/copyright\"\u003EOpenStreetMap\u003C/a\u003E contributors","center":{"lat":19.5,"lon":87.799999999999997},"zoom":"6","minzoom":"6","maxzoom":"18"} When parsing the passed parameters had the following errors: unable to parse the geographic coordinates "[[" Map element "Marker" can not be created enjoy! To show a flight path in the multimaps extension: make sure that the coordinates of both airports are stored in the WAAT-airport coordinates template add to the multimap | line = {{WAAT-line | first WAAT-airport code/second WAAT-airport code | headline (optional) | text (optional) | type = airplane type (optional) | col = HTML color codes without # (optional) | opa = opacity (optional) | wght = line width (optional) }} Loading map... {"tileLayer":"//{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png","attribution":"\u0026copy; \u003Ca href=\"http://osm.org/copyright\"\u003EOpenStreetMap\u003C/a\u003E contributors","center":{"lat":19.5,"lon":87.799999999999997},"zoom":"6","minzoom":"6","maxzoom":"18"} When parsing the passed parameters had the following errors: unable to parse the geographic coordinates "[[" Map element "Line" can not be created the template automatically measures the length and calculates flight times enjoy! There are some more options in the templates available which are not documented so far. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail or send a message.

Discussion

How can I get my airport and/or airline into the WAAT routing system, so I can make a zoomable route map?
And how do WAAT codes work anyway? It seems like airports have a three-digit WAAT code and airlines a two-digit WAAT code, but this is not how I find it presented here.
And what about ANACA codes, do they have a technical function in some wiki templates as well?

Invent an unused WAAT code for your Airport and add it here: Template:WAAT-airport coords. Then you can use it in a map. --Toadwart (talk) 16:06, 15 November 2017 (CET)

Thanks a lot! --LemonKing (talk) 18:53, 15 November 2017 (CET)
