Seems we have no more blockers for <maplink> tag on all Wikipedias. We will enable it tomorrow, Sept 1st. <maplink> tag allows editors to add a link to a popup map, complete with extra geojson overlay data.

Yehhh! \o/
Thank you for the long-time development.

Have you spoken to Comms as to getting a blog post for it?

I think we will want to write up a blog post after the feature is live and we don't have any massive problems with it. So once it runs stably, we could do a writeup, together with our future road map and some power user tips.

Tested on my draft user pages, on fr. and en., it doesn't seem to work yet. (but works on my wikivoyage user draft page).
Have I done anything wrong or is it not enabled yet ?
Guillaume, sorry, we ran into some new issues when we tried to deploy it. Will try again soon.

No need to worry, and no hurry. I was just asking, relating to your announce.
Thanks a lot for your whole work.
And .... its on! <maplink> is live everywhere. Formal announcement is coming soon.
Here's a fun little sample - a Wikidata query, that shows all the US governors on a map.

I'm looking forward to having a go with maplink and improving some articles, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to use this with KML data?

There is a fairly easy way to convert KML to GeoJSON, which you can already use. Maybe at some point we will have some way for editors to paste KML inside Visual Editor and it would auto convert it for you, but we don't have that yet. I feel it is bad to introduce multiple data formats directly into <maplink>/<mapframe>, as that will become very hard to maintain and support, both on the data side and on the code side.

GREAT! thanks a lot, again.
Is it a definitive choice to implement <maplink> but not <mapframe> in Wikipedias ?
Here's a fun little sample - a Wikidata query, that shows all the US governors on a map.
beautiful example!

It's just the first step. We want to enable <mapframe> everywhere, but we don't want it to crash our servers. So we need to see how our infrastructure behaves as more users start using it.
beautiful example!
Thanks, cudos to Stas Malyshev who wrote the SPARQL query.
I have 2 new questions about <maplink> in Wikipedia :
1) is it possible to have, in the same <maplink> both wikidata objects and "manual" geojson ?
For example, on the page for "Ramparts of Avignon" (french town) : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remparts_d%27Avignon#/maplink/0 map of ancient walls (roman wall, then early medieval rampart) : manual geojson https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remparts_d%27Avignon#/maplink/1 recent medieval rampart, still standing and well preserved : OSM/wikidata object It could be interesting to have the two merged ; is it possible ?
2) for a pure OSM/wikidata object, is it still possible to define a style, like it is for a geojson object ?
Sorry if it's in the documentation, I didn't find it.
Many thanks,
1) yep - just keep "ExternalData" elements at the top of the json, e.g. <maplink>[ {"type":"ExternalData", ...}, {"type":"Feature", ...}, ... ] </maplink> 2) yep. There was a bug in the previous releases that has been fixed now (its on the deployment train, should be available everywhere today or tomorrow). You can have "properties" as the top level element of both "Feature" and "ExternalData" elements, with all the styling information. Also, Wikidata query can also return the same properties. In case you define properties on ExternalData and return it from the query, the properties will be combined, with the ones from Wikidata overriding those defined locally (per item).
Any help with documenting this is welcomed :)

I think I could have find these informations reading more carefully the Help page.
Also, Wikidata query can also return the same properties. In case you define properties on ExternalData and return it from the query, the properties will be combined, with the ones from Wikidata overriding those defined locally (per item).

You talk about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer ? I would be happy to help with some enhancements for more newbie profiles, but alas I don't understand which resource/url I can edit. The <translate> mechanism confuses me.
The <translate> mechanism confuses everyone. Just ignore it, and change what you need - those who understands it will help fix the problems.
