I know I'm going offtopic, but anyway. I've asked around, and I
haven't yet found how properly do scaling on geocoding.

For example, [[Image:Uxmal.jpg]] no matter what I do trying to set the
scale as described on many documentation pages ( | scale=N }} ), I
always get a whole continent view when clicking the little globe to
open the miniatlas, instead of a zoomed view (maybe a few kilometers
width)  which would be more appropiated  for building photo than a
continent  one (thousands of km width).

I've tried many things as it can be seen on the historial, and now,
since people who know how wil lread this, could anyone fix the scaling
on image for me so I can see how it's done and proceed to do it on my
other images?

Sorry again for going offtopic
