|q=Why is a line or shape feature from OpenStreetMap not being shown (for lines and shapes from OSM)?

|a=There are several possible causes:

:*The feature on OSM needs to be tagged with the Wikidata id, per [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM]]. It is not enough to just set {{Q|P402}} on the Wikidata item.

:*Only certain OSM relations (those with type=multipolygon, type=route, type=waterway and type=boundary) can be used, and not others like waterwaysbuildings and public transport master routes. See [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/OSM#Limitation]] and [[phab:T156433]].

:*It can take 1 or 2 days after tagging on OSM before the data is available here.

:*Wikimedia occasionally has problems replicating OSM data, (e.g. [[phab:T218097]]), or intentionally disables replication due to other problems (e.g. [[phab:T243609]])

|q=Why are line, shape, or point features are not shown after editing or adding a map, even though they were shown in the page preview?

|q=A page using mapframe's {{para|raw}} parameter is showing error messages of "The time allocated for running scripts has expired." What can be done?

|a=This is a bug related to generating thumbnail map images. It should fix itself in an hour or two. See [[phab:T269984]] for details.

|q=A page using mapframe's {{para|raw}} parameter {{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Template talk:Infobox mapframe|(within the {{para|mapframe-custom}} parameter of an infobox that uses [[Module:Infobox mapframe]])}} is showing error messages of "The time allocated for running scripts has expired." What can be done?

|a=If the amount of raw data to be processed is too large, that timeout message may be shown. You can try moving the raw data to Commons ([[Special:Diff/899711238|example]]) or replacing the mapframe template with the equivalent wikitext using [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] ([[Special:Diff/937023029|example]])
