Hey folks,
The maps and aticle image have been good additions to the multimedia
capabilities in Wikipedia in the last decade, widely used on my home wiki.
For now, in Wikipedia the maps are also rendered as images and become
interactive only when clicked on. This makes them potential candidates

I am a Product Manager at WMF. To answer your question, the Maps

improvements that you mentioned.

Hi Erica,
Thanks for the announcement, I'm glad to see some love given to Maps. Could

Greetings,
This is a follow up from our last email some months ago (and a crosspost).
You may already have seen today's announcement from Legal about the
upcoming changes to the Maps Terms of Use. Here is an extra heads-up
that Wikimedia
Maps are transitioning towards a more modern architecture.
Hi,
Thanks for the responses.

Hi Strainu,
as Michael already pointed out, the (currently hard-coded) zoom value
can be found in CachingKartographerEmbeddingHandler::getWikiText.
I guess we could try to derive the zoom from the precision of the
coordinate (GlobeCoordinateValue::getPrecision), but other than that, I
don't

Hey folks,
Can someone point me to the code that decides which zoom to use for
the maps that are displayed in the items with coordinates?
Thanks,

This is not a complete image. As there are no maintainers responding, it
requires deconstructing and analysing what is there now for this specific
tool, reworking that into a new system, testing that new system and then
switching from old to new.

Hi DJ,
Out of curiosity, what all would be involved in the OS change?
The bike layers could be a nontrivial loss for some folks.
If no regular WMF staff are available for the OS changes and ongoing
maintenance, and if the use of bike lanes (or other features) is

You can now display maps in languages of your choice on testwiki. I made two
pages to demonstrate the new features, on testwiki [1] and testwiki2 [2]

By default, internationalized maps
Great work!
I'm happy with the new naming, Commons Datasets.
For historical maps we have been waiting to have a way to store data about
the rectification with the map image. Here it is! It brings us one notch
closer to being able to work with zoomable historical maps in Wikipedia.
