This needs a bit more work than just picking one OSM tile (what if the
hut is on the edge of a tile?).
ca.wiki does have the WikiMiniAtlas enabled. Clicking the icon next to
the coordinates does open an interactive slippy map with catalan
labels.
Best,

(Putting my ca.wiki volunteer hat on)
There is a very old template in ca.wiki about mountain huts [1]. It
basically looks and works as it looked and worked in 2007. I'm thinking that
it is perhaps a good opportunity to try something I have been wanting to try
for a long time: embed a map in a template.
I'm more or less aware how you can do this with Template:Geobox or similar
systems relying on collections of maps to put a dot on. However, I was
wondering what is the state of the art in the times of Lua, OSM, and
Wikidata. Is it possible to have something like this
* Editor introduces geolocation coordinates and saves.
* The right OSM tile is chosen based on the coordinates, showing e.g. the
50km surrounding the place.
* If users clicks the map, they jump to an actual map where they can zoom
etc. Or at least a bigger and more detailed static image showing, say, a 200
km range.
If none of this exists yet, which template would you recommend using today,
and what project should I look at for new releases in this direction?
Thank you.
