Hello,

Four months ago new maps were launched at https://maps.wikimedia.org. Russian, Italian, and other GeoHack language Wikipedias have switched to it, as well as WikiVoyage community.  I have been working closely with the creators of the current mapping projects like WikiMiniAtlas and WIWOSM (Daniel Schwen, Kolossos/Tim Alder, Magnus, Simon Legner, Sylvain, and others) on trying to merge them together into one platform.

I believe our maps are now stable and capable enough to serve all users of GeoHack, and can really use community's help to migrate it.  Migration is very simple - modify Template:GeoTemplate and MediaWiki:GeoHack.js as was done here:

* https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:GeoTemplate

* https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:GeoHack.js

Eventually I am hoping that we won't need to use this complicated approach, once Kartographer extension is finished.

EXAMPLE:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?language=ru&pagename=%D0%9B%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD&params=45_45_35_N_4_50_32_E_type:city(4415000)_region:FR_scale:100000

Please email if you have any questions. Thanks!

P.S. You might like my other project - interactive graphs, available on all wiki. Feedback is welcome.
