Hoi, A lot of effort has gone into getting ready to support OSM in our projects.
What I want the Wikimedia Foundation is to allow the use of OSM maps in the Haitian Wikipedia because existing maps are largely not in sync with the reality in Haiti. As I understood from information at the website of Doctors without Borders, much of the infrastructure is gone and it is problematic to know what exists. They rely on OSM.
By providing the best maps to the Haitian Wikipedia we provide a relevant service. I understand that we do support OSM in Wikivoyage.
Could we please support OSM maps in the Haitian Wikipedia.
Hello,
In short: * get community consensus * fill a task in Phabricator for #wikimedia-site-requests * profit!
The full explanation:
The Wikimedia Foundation renders OpenStreet map tiles on servers hosted and maintained internally. The entry point can be seen at:
The integration in wiki projects is made possible by the MediaWiki extension Kartographer: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer
That extension is enabled on every public wikis:
'wmgUseKartographer' => [ 'default' => true, 'private' => false, ],
By default we only enable <maplink> which is a link that when clicked popup a map for the given latitude/longitude at some zoom level. Example:
<maplink latitude="19.290" longitude="-72.842" zoom="8" />
Example: https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itilizat%C3%A8:Hashar
To enable embedded maps, one needs to enable extra settings. You would want to fill a task in Phabricator using #wikimedia-site-requests and a requirement is to have community consensus about it. Typically done on the Wiki equivalent of a village pump.
Past examples:
Finish wikipedia https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151591 Norwegian wikipedia https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154021
The technical change is absolutely trivial. I can not tell about its implication for the mobile Zero data plan though. I am assuming that maps.wikimedia.org is whitelisted.
cheers,
