Hello,

The Maps team at the Wikimedia Foundation is getting closer to make it possible to add interactive maps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps to Wikipedia. If you've ever used services like Google Maps or Mapquest you may be familiar with interactive maps. We’d like to invite editors to have a conversation on how these maps might be used within articles. We've put together information on how these maps and their style works from a technical perspective https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/Conversation_about_interactive_map_use – where the data comes from, how maps are styled, how to add an interactive map, and a few example use cases.

In particular we would like to focus the discussion around three key questions (open discussion outside these questions is welcome too).

* What types of articles would use interactive maps?

* How do these articles differ in their requirements?

* Are there any classes of articles whose map styling requirement is fundamentally in conflict with other article classes, thus requiring multiple styles?

If you are interested, please visit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/Conversation_about_interactive_map_use to learn more and get involved.
