The quest to bring maps to Wikipedia continues: * Kartographer has launched for WikiVoyage * Julien Girault will help maps with his UI expertise * Talk to us at the FreeNode IRC channel #wikipedia-interactive
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Kartographer
Last week we enabled Kartographer extension for Wikivoyage sites, allowing users to add maps to wiki pages without any additional wmflabs and JavaScript tricks. Now you can simply add a <mapframe> or <maplink> to a wiki page, or even use the Visual Editor to insert a map. Additionally, you can:
* add markers and polygons visually * edit geojson and see how it changes the map on each keystroke * add auto-numbered markers (either numbers or letters), and have multiple counters * have multiple "groups" of markers/polygons and showing them on the same map or on separate maps (e.g. all food and all drink maps and one combined map) * markers can be of any color, 3 sizes, and contain many different icons * markers and polygons can be clicked and will show popups with wiki text and images * very fast full screen popup map
Feedback: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Maps Bugs & TODOs: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/kartographer/ All maps-related tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/maps/
== What's next? == There will be plenty of cleanup and polishing work to make Kartographer work seamlessly. We will need to address the missing functionality reported to us by the community, and help migrate existing wmflabs-based maps to the new platform. Lastly, VE editing will need some more work to become indispensable.
Yet, our site is still set on the bigger target - maps for all of Wikipedia. For that we are waiting for more hardware, plus we will need to improve our static maps service to be able to handle wiki-load.

Thank you Max Semenik, Ed Sanders, Alex Kosiaris, Brandon Black, Chris Koerner, Chris Steipp, Tomasz Finc, and Wes Moran for making this possible.
Hi Yurik,
Thank you for making this ready to use on Wikivoyage. Hope to see this coming up soon on other projects too. I see that <maps> tag has been changed to <mapframe> since last time you had made announcement in Feb - https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/maps-l/2016-February/001464.html
Is modes option removed now? I see no change when I try modes here - http://vem3.wmflabs.org/wiki/Kn/%E0%B2%B9%E0%B2%BE%E0%B2%B8%E0%B2%A8_%E0%B2%...
cheers, yogi

Yes, <maps> was a bit confusing, especially with modes, so that has been removed. We now have <mapframe> and <maplink>. There is no more mode attribute, so that's being ignored. The "interactive" vs "static" will be decided automatically by the client's speed and other factors - this is still a work in progress.
