Is it possible to use the API to query by geo graphical coordinates? E.g. articles near an LONG/LAT ? if so, could you point me to any examples?
Please see the archives http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api/2008-September/000714.html for an answer to this question.
I would like us to get that integrated with MW API, though. :) Anybody feel like taking on the task?
I could do that, provided someone tells me what kind of extension/template/whatever is used for this geo stuff.
Query *by* geographical coordinates might be a rather major endeavour, though of course the integration of Templatetiger into core Mediawiki (and API) would be *very* welcome :-).
