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. Hardware task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T125126 Thank you Max Semenik, Ed Sanders, Alex Kosiaris, Brandon Black, Chris Koerner, Chris Steipp, Tomasz Finc, and Wes Moran for making this possible. _______________________________________________ Maps-l mailing list Maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/maps-l

Wow, this looks amazing! I'm looking forward to use it other Wikis, especially Wikipedia and Meta. Thank you for your great work!
