I just finished writing a tutorial on how to build interactive Vega graphs for Wikipedia. And yes, we could build video games this way too :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Interactive_Graph_Tutorial

Excellent. Can I create a full-detail 3D model of the Millennium Falcon? (: Pine On Dec 30, 2015 22:37, "Yuri Astrakhan" <yastrakhan(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Well, it already supports geo projections, with mouse-draggable map spinning [1]... We could implement some 3d models if we can hide the out-of-sight polygons :) http://vega.github.io/vega-editor/?mode=vega&spec=map-params

The tutorial looks nice! I will take a look when I am less distracted by finance reports. Thank you for working on this. Pine On Dec 30, 2015 22:37, "Yuri Astrakhan" <yastrakhan(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Great! now, I think it should be marked for translation. On 31 December 2015 at 08:38, Pine W <wiki.pine(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I've played with this more, and I like how it works. I can imagine people using this map with other data sets like HDI, GDP per capita, inflation, Wikipedia readership, and WMF fundraising (: Pine On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 2:13 AM, Szymon Grabarczuk <tar.locesilion(a)gmail.com

We could also use it for non-maps - basically the slider is a dynamic parameter - and we could have multiple such parameters, and show data as any kind of a picture - a chart, map, or even a state of animation. On Fri, Jan 1, 2016 at 10:47 PM, Pine W <wiki.pine(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, in the 1st translation unit, there is a "klick here" type of link. There is a section explaining why that is a no-go: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation#Use_meaningful_link_anchors Purodha On 08.01.2016 18:49, Johan Jönsson wrote:
