User:Ɱ/Maplink-related problems and suggestions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Master list of maplink-related problems and suggestions:

General

[edit]
  • There should be an option to rotate the map to display tall shapes better in infoboxes, with a compass symbol to indicate north (see High Line map)
  • Zoom of half-integers should be integrated
  • Visible labels should be available on maplink maps, like pushpin maps have
  • Maplink maps should be "interactive", not "static" on article space even if just to allow hovering/clicking on icons to display text instantly
  • Maplink maps need better support for side-by-side maps - I can use {{stack}} but it doesn't work on mobile
  • Maplink maps need better availability on infoboxes - see Wikipedia:Mapframe maps in infoboxes
  • "Shape-inverse" doesn't display cutouts like enclaves

Icons

[edit]
  • Custom jpg icons should be allowed as pushpin maps allow them; current icon set has many problems, see below
  • Icons, currently only available in white, should be available at least in black as well, for increased contrast when marker-color is set to a light color
  • Icons should be able to be directly shown, rather than inside the map pin or marker

Unclear

Missing
