This "howto" explains how it is possible to use HTML scripting (map , area with coordinates and shapes and links , use-map on a Wikidot page.

This page is related to http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-13505880/notice-template#post-4715463
where a map with interactive shapes an areas is asked for.

The images was taken from https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Ferelden#Geography
and codings from Firefox "Inspector" …

And all the source was tested on http://community-playground.wikidot.com/map-area-test !
( with "Flemeth'S Hut" at the midle of the bottom - the page exists on the playground! )

3. (External) Links

another issue: all links to other pages have to be in long form ( http…) because of the html window is completely splitted from wikidot.com and not inside your wiki!
And: the link command ( href= ) have to be prepared with target=_new (see bottom for another useful target-attrributes) !
(to create a new tab and not to build the page inside the html/map window.
I have changed ( see next piont) one of teh ares to link to a wiki side page flemeth-s-hut.

in italian:
un altro problema: tutti i collegamenti (Link/href=) ad altre pagine devono essere in forma lunga (http …) perché la finestra html è completamente divisa da wikidot.com e non all'interno della tua wiki!
E: il comando di collegamento/Link deve essere pre-avviato con target = "_new" ! (per creare una nuova scheda e non creare la pagina all'interno della finestra html / map.
Ho cambiato flemeth-s-hut essere un "inside link" in wiki !

4. Changes

<area href="/Flemeth%27s_Hut" target="_parent" shape="rect" coords="291,392,318,418" alt="Flemeth's Hut" title="Flemeth's Hut">

Modificato link to flemeth-s-hut ( existe in questo wiki !)
e target="_parent" : creara la nuove pagina a adesso finestra ( non in html finestra)

5. Find Coordinates

You can use image editing software to find the coordinates of your hotspots. I use Photoshop Elements, but Microsoft Paint works just as well. Open your graphic in paint and move your cursor to the location of the coordinates you need. The x,y coordinates are displayed in the bottom left of the application screen.

6. Target attributes

questo informativa pagina dice:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_area_target.asp

<area target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">
Attribute Values
Value Description
_blank Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
_self Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked
_parent Opens the linked document in the parent frame
_top Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
framename Opens the linked document in a named frame
