Guillaume, at the moment, we download data from OSM once a day. Fairly soon
we should start downloading much more frequently. On top of that, there is
a Varnish cache for one day. So if the identical request is being made, it
might take up to a day for it to expire.

Hi Yuri,
I have successfully used <maplink> embedding objects in wikipedia-fr,
of the both types :
* raw geojson inclusion
* references to wikidata objects via Geoshaphes service
This is really great, and particularly the latest (geoshapes / wikidata
tags).
I hope this will motivate the 3 communities (WP, WD and OSM) to set the
tag wikidata=*
into OSM.
But I noticed a strange behavior : when adding the wikidata tag on an OSM
object,
then including a maplink tag on a wiki page, the object is not available
at once.
There seems to be a delay of several hours, or maybe several days.
I suppose there is a cache of some sort to wait for.
Please, do you know where this delay comes from ? an OSM cache ? or on the
geoshapes side ?
And what is its typical duration ?
For an example, on my test page :
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:GAllegre#Maplinks
For the moment, the 1st maplink (Limites du PNR de Chartreuse)
is displayed, as I created it a few days ago, but the following ones are
not displayed.
My questions are maybe odd, but I plan to largely advertise these new
features
towards the french WP community. I would like to be able to explain if
sometimes
it doesn't work well at once, in order to not discourage people who would
like to try
their first edit.

Dear community, this week we enabled
<maplink> support on all Wikipedia
and
sister projects. This means that now an article
can have a link to a
map,
and that map may contain highlighted regions and
popups with information.
[1],[3]
Our next step is to add an informational sidebar to the map, similar to
what is being shown on the "geohack" page (map link in the upper right
corner of most location articles). Check out proposed screenshots [2]
We now also have a geoshapes service. So if Open Street Maps community
has
defined a region and assigned it a Wikidata ID,
you can draw it on the
map
with that ID. Or you can use Wikidata Query
Service (via SPARQL
language),
to query for those IDs and draw them on the map,
coloring them and adding
popup information. [3] Geoshapes can also be used for the graphs. [4]
