Congratulation, that's a great work !
did you manage to find a way to provide localization for all languages
within the vector tiles ?
cheers,

Congratulations! Awesome stuff, been looking forward
to it for some
time. I particularly like the different resolutions for various device
uses.
Will try to add it as the default layer for the Wikimedia Commons
Wikimaps Warper (
warper.wmflabs.org) application for georectifying
historical maps soon. Perhaps one day the same architecture could be
used to power mosaics of historical atlases - but let's get the world
right now working first :)
Cheers and look forward to seeing
maps.wikimedia.org progress in the
months to come!

Wikimedia Foundation has implemented a new vector
tile service
Kartotherian
(Mapbox+Mapnik stack) and launched an
experimental tile and static maps
service available at
https://maps.wikimedia.org. Using this service,
you can
browse and embed map tiles into your own tools
using OpenStreetMap data.
Currently, we handle traffic from *.wmflabs.org and *.wikivoyage.org
(referrer header must be either missing or set to these values) but we
hope
to open it up to Wikipedia traffic if we see
enough use.
Getting started is as easy as
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps#Getting_Started
Tiles are served from
https://maps.wikimedia.org, but can only be
accessed
from *.wmflabs.org and *.wikivoyage.org.
Kartotherian can produce
tiles as
images (png), and as raw vector data (pbf Mapbox
format or json):
https://maps.wikimedia.org/{source}/{zoom}/{x}/{y}[@{scale}x].{format}
Additionally, Kartotherian can produce snapshot (static) images of any
location, scaling, and zoom level with
For example, to get an image centred at 42,-3.14,
at zoom level 4, size
800x600, use
https://maps.wikimedia.org/img/osm-intl,4,42,-3.14,800x600.png
(copy/paste the link, or else it might not work
due to referrer
restriction).
Editing map style is very easy using the Mapbox Studio, and does not
require
any data on your machine - simply point it at
Wikimedia server.
How can you help?
* Provide us feedback to help guide future features
* Improve our map styles
* Improve our data extraction
* File bugs in Phabricator
* Adapt your labs tool to use this service - for example, use Leaflet js
library and point it to
https://maps.wikimedia.org
Based on usage and your feedback, the Discovery team will decide how to
proceed. We could add more data sources (both vector and raster), work on
additional services such as static maps or geosearch, work on supporting
all
languages, switch to client-side WebGL rendering,
etc. Please help us
decide
what is most important.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps has more about the project and
related
Maps work.
We would like to thank WMF Ops (especially Alex Kosiaris, Brandon Black,
and
Jaime Crespo), services team, OSM community and
engineers, and the Mapnik
and Mapbox teams. The project would not have completed so fast without
you.
