A template to create a textual hyperlink to www.openstreetmap.org, zooming and highlighting the object matching the parameters. It acts as an alternative to the template {{On OSM}} which doesn't fit nicely into a field of the {{Information}}. Suggested usage is adding the OSMLink as one of the other_fields parameter. For this purpose, it makes use of the {{Information field}} template, with a fixed field name and the OSM Link as value.

Usage

{{OSMLink |type= |OSM_ID= }}
