Hi All,
we've been developing a product to access the knowledge in the wikipedia in
other ways... and of course we make use of the mediawiki api.
We are using geodata extension to construct a nearby similar to the wiki,
but I'd like the possibility to retrieve articles beyond the 10000 limit
radius: this is the case when I drag the map.
As example, you can zoom out your map at "nations" scale, drag it around
the globe, and you'll see other articles which will be pinned on the map.
I've seen something similar within google maps and other mobile app, so I
read again the doc
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData
I figured out this feature should be available from geohack, which is
already included, by the use of parameter "scale".
However, I didn't understand how to use it; also geohack is not mentioned
in the main doc
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
Should I pipe it with a generator? Any example for doing it ?
Once again, thank you so much for your help to all devs!
Luigi
