Hi all,
I use ImageMap [0] like Krabina suggested to do something similar. In my opinion, ImageMap has some issues that hopefully get resolved like "mystery meat navigation" [1][2] and no Visual Editor support or even on-wiki editing, although there are some ways [3]. In my experience, this has prevented all but the most dedicated users from using ImageMap and forces them to use external tools if they do [4].
I did run across an interesting use of "maps" on a video game website [5] that seems to be just overlaying an animated gif over a map at a coordinate.

Hi,
yes, I think there should be the possibility in maps to have custom images instead of an actual map where you can display points. I have never used this myself, though.
There is another option: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap
cheers, Bernhard

Hi Yaron, thanks for responding and great insights as usual. These are
times I
wish I had more programming experience.. I’d enthusiastically take on
the task
of bringing points data entry and query back to page forms. For us
Enterprise
MW users I would argue that this feature is essential in every enterprise application whether people know it or not, ha ha.. Being able to quickly graphically annotate an image of parking lot or an exit plan or a Road
closure
.. These are Basic enterprise applications.
I would think you would want to recover this capability in page Foms
just to
keep all such data collection under one extension. Otherwise some lesser extension will come along and try to do it.
If you do decide to include this in page forms, do you have any thoughts
on How
many hours of effort to implement?
I’m not sure which I’m more excited about, the prospect of internal maps
added
to page forms or the project management extension that you mentioned not
too
long ago. Please don’t ever underestimate your contribution to the
enterprise
world. It’s amazing. You really have done and continue to do great work.

It should be noted that the use of images as maps comprises two parts:
entering
the data, and viewing the data. I don't believe either one is currently possible, though I could be wrong. For data entry, I think the easiest
way to
add support for it would be to modify either the "openlayers" or
"leaflet"
input types in Page Forms to allow for using an uploaded image as the
map -
both OpenLayers and Leaflet inherently allow for such a thing. And for
viewing
the data - Semantic MediaWiki has a "leaflet" result format (via the Maps extension), while Cargo has an "openlayers" format. Both could similarly
be
modified to allow for displaying query results on an uploaded image.
It should be noted that, about ten years ago, both entry and viewing of image-based maps were possible, via the extensions then called Semantic
Maps
and Semantic Forms. This is one of those features that just stopped being supported, due I guess to lack of interest. Which is too bad, because it
does
seem useful for a lot of different applications. But it never really got
usage
before. Maybe now is a good time to bring this feature back, if enough
people
show an interest in it.
I should also note that there's an extension called Semantic Image
Annotator:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Image_Annotator<
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mediawiki.org_wiki_...
It lets you both add and query data, but the data it deals with is
rectangles on
an image and not points, so it may not be what you're looking for. Maybe
it's
fine, though.

Is anyone doing this? What do people here recommend?
I've been trying to learn how to use the "Maps" extension [1] but it's
not clear
to me if custom interior maps are possible with Maps.
OpenLayers [2] and Cargo [3] look promising but I don't know how to get
started
with them for custom interior maps. I dive in and learn it if I knew
upfront
that they had the capability. Can anyone tell me what they're doing?
