Hello, this is Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team with news on Kartographer:

As was requested by many community members, it is now possible to see nearby articles on a Kartographer map. This offers an additional way of exploring content on the wikis. The feature was deployed to most Wikimedia wikis on April 11. To try it out, open any Kartographer map into full screen mode and click on “Show nearby articles” in the footer. 

Some links if you would like to learn more: 

• The help page on mediawiki.org with a short overview of this feature: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer#Show_nearby_articles 

• Our project page with more detailed information: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Geoinformation/Nearby_articles

German, Catalan, Russian and Hebrew Wikipedia, and English and German Wikivoyage have already been using this feature since October, and have given plenty of feedback – thanks a lot! If you have any feedback, please let us know on this talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Geoinformation/Nearby_articles

With this deployment, our focus area “Better support for geo information” is coming to an end. On behalf of the whole Technical Wishes team, many many thanks to everyone who tested, gave feedback, was interviewed, reviewed tickets, or contributed in any other way. It is deeply appreciated!
