==Data page names==
I am not sure its a good idea to promote identical names in Data and here. Lets try to keep the data a bit organized by storing it in a "fake subpage" - e.g. '''Data:naturalearth.com/something.map''' ? So basically the template should probably not have a default at all? --[[User:Yurik|Yurik]] ([[User talk:Yurik|talk]]) 05:00, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
==Singular points==
Can the <code>maplink</code> template be adjusted to show singular points (using Wikidata IDs) and latitude/longitude coordinates? There are quite a few article [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Maplink|pages]] that are using template:maplink but they're showing maps that don't make any sense, because they are singular points. Easy examples are: [[National_Museum_of_Australia|National Museum of Australia]] and [[National_Institute_of_Dramatic_Art|National Institute of Dramatic Art]]--they both show a (map) link but it goes to a map in the ocean. :( [[User:DTankersley (WMF)|DTankersley (WMF)]] ([[User talk:DTankersley (WMF)|talk]]) 19:38, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
::::I was the one that added those maps. Checking now, my experience is that maps that use <code>shape</code> work correctly but those that use <code>shape-inverse</code> display the target area correctly but with the map zoomed all the way out. I can confirm that this regression also affects the native <nowiki><mapframe> and <maplink></nowiki> functions. I've filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178370.

== Using mapframes / maplink nicely in taxoboxes ==
I tried using the above at [[Bugun liocichla]] - which is a species known from (how nice) just three point locations. Now it would be nice to have simple round spot markers without shadows and it would be nice not to have to set the width and height parameters but to use the taxobox/infobox settings. Would all this be easy to have? [[User:Shyamal|Shyamal]] ([[User talk:Shyamal|talk]]) 09:12, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Shyamal}} If you use this template instead of using the tag directly, then a default width and height (currently 300/200) is used unless otherwise specified. At the moment this template can only handle a single feature, but I'm rewriting it as a Lua module that should be able to display multiple features. As [[mw:Maps/Icons]] are the only icons currently available, the closest you can get to "simple round spot" would be the small sized marker.
::{{ping|Shyamal}} As an alternative, {{tl|OSM Location map}} (implemented below) does allow round markers (but hasn't yet got the internationalised place names implemented). To allow the three dots to be resolved, in the example below I have increased the zoom and added a smaller locator map. Like Maplink it can't auto-resize to fit the infobox, but centring it will help the appearance. [[User:RobinLeicester|RobinLeicester]] ([[User talk:RobinLeicester|talk]]) 23:54, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

== Multiple separate OSM relations with the same wikidata tag ==
Is there a way to refer to separate OSM relations using separate rendering styles when they both have the same Wikidata tag? For example, to have completed sections of a road render in red, and incomplete sections to render in blue, when the two segments have different route relations, but with only one Wikidata tag for the road. Is this possible with the current system? [[User:Roadsguy|Roadsguy]] ([[User talk:Roadsguy|talk]]) 01:20, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
:No, the maps can only use a Wikidata id to refer to an OSM relation.

== Multipoint shapes from OSM ==
Wind farms are essentially a collection of point features (each wind turbine tower). Open Street Map has a node for each turbine. I have created a few OSM Relation entities consisting of the collection of all the towers in the farm, with attributes that apply to the farm as a whole (power output, wikidata ID etc). Is it possible to render this OSM multipoint relation in Wikipedia? An example is [[Snowtown Wind Farm]]. If this cannot work as currently set up, is there a better way of doing it, and what should that look like (in Wikipedia, Wikidata and OSM)? --[[User:ScottDavis|Scott Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:ScottDavis|Talk]]</sup> 01:26, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
== Inconsistent behavior of when using inverse-shape ==
Today I noticed that when you enlarge the interactive map on [[Washington, D.C.]], it doesn't show the shape at all.
{{maplink|frame=yes|frame-width=285|frame-height=285|zoom=8|id=Q61|type=shape-inverse}}
If you copy the code (<nowiki>{{maplink|frame=yes|plain=y|frame-width=285|frame-height=285|zoom=8|id=Q61|type=shape-inverse}}</nowiki>) somewhere else (see right), it's getting worse there: it doesn't even show the shape in the frame. Keep in mind I kept the <code>id=</code> part, so it's supposed to work.
=== Part 2 ===
I can't seem to reproduce this bug with other data, but found another inconsistency:
*<nowiki>{{maplink|type=shape-inverse|id=Q1094308|text=Inverted shape (no frame)}} </nowiki>
*{{maplink|type=shape-inverse|id=Q1094308|text=Inverted shape (no frame)}}
*<nowiki>{{maplink|frame=yes|type=shape-inverse|id=Q1094308|text=Inverted shape (has frame)}} </nowiki>
*{{maplink|frame=yes|type=shape-inverse|id=Q1094308|text=Inverted shape (has frame)}}
As you can see I have two exactly same maplink, but only the second one has frame.
* When you click the first one (link), the enlarged interactive map zooms out all the way to global;
* When you click on the second one (frame), however, the enlarged interactive maps zooms in to the area selected (better behavior) The frame itself still shows global, though. --[[User:Fireattack|fireattack]] ([[User talk:Fireattack|talk]]) 20:18, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

One other thing you can try is using {{tag|mapframe}} tags directly per [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer#GeoShapes via Wikidata Query]] – if it doesn't work like that, then the problem is with the MediaWiki extension. Or if it does work, then we can try to figure out why it doesn't work with this template. - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u> <span style="font-size:95%;">[[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 00:54, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Can someone help me figure out what is causing this error? I can't seem to figure it out... Basically, I'm trying to instate these functions, but I don't know which part is causing the errors:
# If coordinates are not set locally, it should fetch from wikidata
# If coordinates are set locally, wikidata values should be ignored
# If <code>|location_map = no</code> the display of ___location map (i.e. mapframe) should be suppressed (all other values are to be ignored)
# If no coordinates are set locally nor on wikidata, the display of ___location map (i.e. mapframe) should be suppressed, and the respective caption parameter should not be displayed.

== Zoom buttons ==
Hi. Is it just me, or has the in-article zoom buttons disappeared from the maps? I remember a <code>+</code> and <code>-</code> on the top-left corner of mapframes, but now they are gone. Strangely, the buttons are still there in the edit-preview mode. [[Taichung Power Plant|See here for example]].

:On Wikipedia, and most wikis other than Wikivoyage, the emdeded thumbnail is a static map, and the full screen map needs to be opened before the map can be zoomed or panned – per [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer#Getting started]].

::Thanks [[User:Evad37]]. I could swear I saw the zoom buttons in normal live mode a few months back... Strange. I guess these limitations were put in place to reduce stress on the servers? I noticed the "full" version is live on Meta and Wikidata (example: {{Q|Q6479997}}), so it is technically possible.

:: So what I thought was the bug is a deliberate choice and the bug is edit mode showing the documented behaviour? The description at [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer]] describes interactive maps embedded on the page and makes one expect an embedded interactive map, as you see in editor mode or on the test wikipedia. Why and when was it chosen to disable this behaviour? It's annoying and makes these maps less desirable. I thought the behaviour had changed and was a bug that would be resolved when the newer software on the test wiki became active. <span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;"> [[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]] |[[User talk:Jts1882| talk]] </span> 08:23, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

:::{{u|Jts1882}}, I'm not entirely positive, but the reason that we have static images, as I remember it from that time it was launched, was partly for performance reasons (it's a lot of dynamic content to deliver etc. especially on mobile) as well as to have the ability to present some content for people who disabled javascript, for printing etc. The edit mode is registered as a bug, but there too it is actually a performance issue (static rendering is expensive, so doing it for a single user reduces the performance of the preview action too much.)

:::: To keep everything on the same page. Sometimes it is useful to be able to move in the map while comparing with an adjacent information (in infobox or table). To be honest, I can't remember exactly why it struck me as so irritating, just that I remember it that way. I was also surprised by the behaviour as it deviated from the documentation (now changed) and from the behaviour I was seeing while developing a module using the maps. I must have being doing nearly everything in preview mode as I didn't notice the different behaviour on the published page until months later (or was the behaviour changed after it was introduced). In general I think it is possible to find an alternative static image map that is better than the map provided in mapframe, with the interactive nature of the latter making the difference. If it needs to be expanded to get the benefits, the advantage is lessened in some cases. Well, if it is a performance issue, then that must be how it is. It is good to know the reason, so thanks for the explanation. <span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;"> [[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]] |[[User talk:Jts1882| talk]] </span> 15:28, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
== Maps don't load on initial page load ==
[[File:Maplink rendering bug 2019-03-23.png|thumb|right|What User:Fredddie sees on I-64]] Something I've noticed lately is that quite often, map previews won't load on the initial page load. Specifically, maps embedded in {{tlx|Infobox road}}. For instance, the map I created for [[Interstate 64 in Indiana]] will not load for me in the infobox. If I click where the map should be, the map will load and I can see what's supposed to be there, when I close the full screen map, there is nothing in the infobox.

== Map rendering as a static image, with full screen button not working ==
Hi all, I've been trying to create a maplink template to show rail lines in Melbourne, you can see the map on my user page or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railways_in_Melbourne#Infrastructure
The interactive map works well on previewing edits, but when I publish it renders as a static image. This isn't a huge issue except the full-screen button seems to not work either, and is just a static unclickable image too. Does anyone know why this is happening? Did I mess up the template or is the map just too complex? Thanks. [[User:Gracchus250|Gracchus250]] ([[User talk:Gracchus250|talk]]) 02:54, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
: The mapframe maps do behave differently in preview and in the published main namespace. The interactive element in the non-expanded map is disabled (because it is resource heavy, iirc), so the static image is normal, although disappointing. But the inactive full-screen button isn't usual. Have you tried reducing the number of elements in the map, say with just one line?

Problem seems reproducible in above right map (try preview vs. saved page) which seems to imply something other than a caching issue with the [[Farm to Market Road 812|FM 812]] article itself. Please advise if I've done something different/wrong on the corresponding relation [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2538184 #2538184] vs. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2534475 #2534475] over on OSM. ―[[special:contributions/cobaltcigs|cobaltcigs]] 11:40, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
:The map in [[Farm to Market Road 812]] is displaying for me on the saved page, but not in the above map (as of now). The difference between preview and the saved page would be because preview uses ''dynamic'' thumbnails (you can drag the map around with your mouse, and change zoom levels), whereas the saved page uses a ''static'' thumbnail image... so it could very well be a caching-related issue. Sometimes [[WP:NULL]] edits (or other subsequent edits) can help. - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u> <span style="font-size:95%;">[[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 02:12, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

== Timeout errors ==
[[Minnesota State Highway 65]] is currently showing numerous "The time allocated for running scripts has expired" errors. They are due to the following line in the infobox:
<pre>
|map={{maplink|frame=yes|plain=yes|frame-align=center|frame-width=290|frame-height=240|type=line|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Wikipedia KML/Minnesota State Highway 65}}}}
</pre>
That sets <code>raw</code> from [[Wikipedia:Map data/Wikipedia KML/Minnesota State Highway 65]] which is 88 kilobytes.
I have seen this error in other articles before. I don't recall the details but I don't think anything was done to fix them. Instead, it looks as if some caching made the articles work once the server was sufficiently idle to allow it to successfully render the page (that's a guess). {{ping|Evad37}} You have done a lot of work on [[Module:Mapframe]]. Do you know what the fundamental problem is? {{ping|Sable232}} You tried to fix the error and may be interested in this discussion. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 08:46, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:I think 88kb is too big for the Lua to handle – it is significantly larger than several map data pages I chose semi-randomly from [[Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Map_data/]]. The module isn't actually doing that much with the raw data – just triming whitespace and control characters (which can break the map if present), and at the end the constructed {{tag|mapframe}} tag is [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#frame:preprocess|preprocessed]] so the map is shown in the article. This last step is what seems to be taking up the time, according to the parser profiling information shown when previewing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Minnesota_State_Highway_65&oldid=936954473&action=edit§ion=0] - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u> <span style="font-size:95%;">[[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 13:30, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

::Thanks, that is a good edit you made at the article ([[Special:Diff/937023029|diff]])—it fixed the problem and it inserted a good comment and edit summary which specify the source of the map data. If this situation becomes common (as mentioned, I've seen it before), one ugly workaround would be to automate what you did. The trick would be to make a subpage of [[Wikipedia:Map data/Wikipedia KML/Minnesota State Highway 65]] (<code>/mapframe</code> or <code>/expanded</code>?) with the expanded mapframe wikitext) and transclude that into the article. I don't know a way to automate [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] but the idea would be that a two-step process would be needed to update the map: edit the map data then do something clever to quickly use ExpandTemplates to update the subpage.

::OK. I monitor articles that appear in [[:Category:Pages with script errors]] and the pages I mentioned were in that category, but are no longer there. I suspect that a certain amount of Lua work on a busy server may exceed 10 seconds and so give the error, while a not-busy server would do the same amount of work in under 10 seconds, and that fixes the problem.

== Circular area ==
I think I know the answer to this, but I'm asking just to see if maybe there's something I'm missing. I want to create a map with circular shaded area around a central coordinate – think blast radius of 1km.

:Circles aren't supported in the geoJson spec[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16942697/geojson-circles-supported-or-not], so they have to be approximated as many-sided shapes.
