Hi,
When opening some maps full screen, in addition to the pushpin, the map also shows a contour for the item, even though the Wikidata item does not have any associated geo data. I'm guessing that the data comes from OSM through their Wikidata/Wikipedia tags. Example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4684917 (check the Romanian article for a mapframe).
Is there a way to obtain that relation data into a Lua module? I'm trying to determine the optimum zoom for an item and having its bbox would help greatly.
Thank you, Strainu
In the example case it is possible to get a zoom with "auto" to work. However in cases where there are no tag to the Wikidata-item in OSM this does not work as well. I would also be interested in a possibility to query the map data from Lua. A return of a bounding box as Strainu asks about would obviously be great, but even a possibility to know if there is a geoline or a geoshape for this item would enable the Lua module to select between auto-zoom or some explicit value.
