Hi all, I use ImageMap [0] like Krabina suggested to do something similar. In my opinion, ImageMap has some issues that hopefully get resolved like "mystery meat navigation" [1][2] and no Visual Editor support or even on-wiki editing, although there are some ways [3]. In my experience, this has

Hi, yes, I think there should be the possibility in maps to have custom images instead of an actual map where you can display points. I have never used this myself, though. There is another option: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap cheers, Bernhard - Am 8. Jun 2019 um

Hi Yaron, thanks for responding and great insights as usual. These are times I wish I had more programming experience.. I’d enthusiastically take on the task of bringing points data entry and query back to page forms. For us Enterprise MW users I would argue that this feature is essential in
