These would need to be reviewed. So it might take a while. @labster @Samtar

@Reception123 I just found this extension is the one that Wikipedia uses and maintains, so it might be better than all the rest: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer

@Boulder_Rob Ok, please note that it might take a while before it is reviewed.

@Boulder_Rob The security review is OK. But we'd need to build a production maps cluster to use this extension, and no one here has experience in doing so. I mean, technically I do have GIS experience but I'm also a programmer not a sysadmin, so anyway, this extension is declined.

If you want to suggest another map extension that allows external resources to be loaded, that would be fine. That might eventually be the case for Kartographer, but: For now, maps.wikimedia.org only accepts requests from the domains in wmflabs.org, *.wikivoyage.org, or incubator.wikimedia.org.

Actually, I have to ask you, have you looked into working with localwiki.org? I used to be a part of that project a while back, and they have a lot of built-in support for maps and VisualEditor type stuff. There's a virtually empty wiki sitting around at https://localwiki.org/boulder/ -- if you're interested, I can get you in touch with the leadership over there and get you an admin account. The only issue over there is the ability to fork -- not so much due to policy but due to the fact that they're running their own custom backend that no other farm will be running. It is all open-source software, though.

This is a WMF extension, and therefore bypasses the security review. I assume the Maps service is subject to the same privacy policy as is normal for WMF projects, so we don't really have issues with that, either. It's just a matter of installation and configuration, now.

Seems like Kartographer was installed and enabled on test1wiki.

The question now is how to comply with Wikimedia Maps terms of use so that Miraheze doesn't need to install their own version of server-side tools. There seems to be a requirement to have a custom user agent when requesting Wikimedia Maps, is this possible (or is this required to have, if that is not possible)?

Once this is dealt with, I would guess that many people would like this extension to be enabled on their wikis (for example, I'd want it on isvwiki).

@labster would you know how we could enable that whilst complying with wmf terms for the map service?

The maps are rendering fine for me.

We seem to be fine in terms of compliance.

Then this shouldn’t be a “review” task per the title.

I'll do this sometime, today. It was @Reception123 that renamed the task.

I don't think the wiki of original requester exists, but if you would do mine, it's fine and welcome, yes.

Seems like without JavaScript the map is not being loaded, because the URL at Wikimedia Maps server reports this:

"Domain is not allowed"

This is somewhat expected since the maps availability is latest development, but maybe someone can write about this to Wikimedia devs?

Edit: I would also mention that this 400 error from PNG shows up on all pages using maps in my wiki.

Notified. No ETA as usual, though.
