- Completely reworked Nearby screen! View the locations of nearby Wikipedia articles overlaid onto an *interactive map*. Explore

Be careful in advertising this cross-language: GeoData in many wikis lacks most (or any) data, because it's not using Wikidata. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T35704 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110017
These bugs don't look too hard, can we hope them to be fixed as part of this renewed interest in Nearby? It's nice for the map to be prettier but it's sure better if it first contains something. :)
Adding Wikibase / Wikidata integration with GeoData (and PageImages) is something I am currently working on.
Initially, we want to get Special:Nearby to work on Wikidata and then see about having that data also used in the client wikis, as needed.
