Related question if anyone here knows -- I take a lot of photos for Colorado articles (and areas I visit). I find most of them using Special:Nearby <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby>.
This will give you something like everything within 10 kilometers or the 50 nearest articles. I'd really like to more easily access data for this purpose. Some use cases being: (1) If I'm going on a road trip, are there places within some number of kilometers near the road that I could stop by a photograph? (2) Given any area that I'm at, what are the nearest unphotographed articles (e.g. further than 10km away). (3) If there's more than 50 places, can I see all of them within a range? It doesn't look like this is possible using the API, without doing some custom scripting that makes multiple API location queries? e.g. as it's shown here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Nearby_places_viewer Is that true? It seems like to get all articles I'd need to export coordinates for articles separately and make my own search. Which I'd rather now do. - Craig On Sun, May 29, 2022 at 10:48 AM Pharos <pharosofalexand...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Wiki-Coloradans, > > Wanted to share this project from the North Carolina usergroup, if you > might want to do something along similar lines: > > > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/North_Carolina_Wikipedians/wikipixNC22 > https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:WikiPixNC > > Thanks, > Richard > (User:Pharos) > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-US-CO mailing list -- wikimedia-us-co@lists.wikimedia.org > To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-us-co-le...@lists.wikimedia.org >
