Re: [Maps-l] New version of Wikipedia-map

Hello Yuri, if you look on the updated version of the map from Simon[1] you can see that we use now text labels for Wikipedia entries. This is a design element from the WikiMiniAtlas and I think it has an positiv effect for the user to set the visual focus on Wikipedia content. It's also the aim to look different that google maps and it's a quick (and dirty) way to multilingual maps. ;-) The problem we have now is, that we have on zommlevels that are on Country level tons of duplications because we have the Wikipedia-label and the Text from OSM background. If we only switch to a background style I would miss useful informations from OSM like street names. So it would be interesting to discuse if we could get an map where objects with an Wikipedia/Wikidata tag are transparent. We can also talk about if we can get a vector tiles layer with these objects from my database to use the geojson tiles in Leaflet... I also see a chance that labels are becoming more consitant during panning and zooming in. So perhaps it would be possible if you could prepair an hangout to talk about this and find a date for it via doodle or so. Europes evening hours would be fine for me, but it's christmas time and the people are busy.
