Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Malaysia/Cartography

OSM

No mentions of using OpenStreetMap in cartography page. I think there are many Malaysian places/areas already mapped well in OSM that we can use (like London and MCKK). Looking for more good Malaysian examples.

• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/Maps this may be the most useful tool
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer even more details on the VisualEditor maps tool

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia#Linking_from_Wikipedia_to_OSM_data

Examples:

• London shows map at 3 levels (England/UK/Europe) using infobox with pushpin_map_caption, pushpin_relief, pushpin_map attributes
• Malay_College_Kuala_Kangsar shows interactive map with a placemarker using infobox

May be good for these OSM automated mapping info to be included in the cartography page

Sounds a reasonable addition. CMD (talk) 12:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
