Hi guy! The prototype is very good. But usually the locations described in wikipedia does not boil down to points, they also include polygons (administrative divisions) and lines (streets). But due to the inability to easily describe such coordinates such description is made using images [1]. I wonder if it would be possible to also add other geometric elements, as is done in other wikis specialized in describing locations. Eg: * Point: https://scruzwiki.org/map/Santa_Cruz_Hostel * Line: https://scruzwiki.org/map/High_Street * Polygon: https://scruzwiki.org/map/City_of_Santa_Cruz
Note: Observe editing of such items is quite simple [2], and I consider simpler than add coordinates manually ...
