From Wednesday, December 12th, we will also have a miniature map displayed for the properties containing coordinates, like coordinate location (P625) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P625>. This feature uses mw:Extension:Kartographer <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer> and OpenStreetMap. Viewing the map directly in the item will help the editors to check quickly if the coordinates seem correct, and therefore improve the data quality. - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_2.png> View in read mode - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_3.png> View in edit mode - <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Wikidata_map_feature_1.png> Full screen with list of external maps Some useful features: - Double-click on the miniature map: display it in full screen - On full screen view: click on “external maps” to display different map services and links to many external maps - In edit mode: when adding or editing coordinates in the field, the maps is automatically updated to fit the coordinates you entered - The coordinates are still displayed under the map and link to Geohack If you have any questions or issues with this feature, let me know.
