Link title
The page says:
 * The link text can be set with the text attribute. Without the text attribute, the word "map" will be shown.

Will this word be shown in all languages?

Or can it be translated?

As far as I can see, there is not relevant translatable message in translatewiki.net, but I might be wrong.

 * Yup, that's not true, I've fixed it. Thanks! Max Semenik (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Localization
Hello! Is there a function to specify the map language (e.g. "name:de") or are just common "name"-tags to be used? --J budissin (talk) 07:54, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello, J budissin. At the moment the map shows location names in the language of the particular location. There is a task that looks to address allowing the language to be the user's preference. Is that what you're looking for? CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 20:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Decimals vs. DMS
Despite being created using decimals the map displays with a DMS caption. Is the latter configurable, please? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:59, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Not 'alt'
I'm very concerned at the suggestion:

"Use for the link hint text."

This is likely to cause confusion with the "alt" attribute on images, which is for a text alternative to an image, for people who cannot see the image (blind people, people using text-only or audio interfaces, etc). In the example given here, the appropriate  attribute might be something like "the Exploratorium is on 21st and 8th street".

It's hard enough as it is to get people to use appropriate alt attributes on images; encouraging them to think in terms of "hint text" will not help. Could the attribute in this case please be renamed? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:50, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Resolved at T145236. In the future, please don't post the same concern in several places, Phabricator is enough. Max Semenik (talk) 22:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Please keep your misguided opinions of where posting is appropriate to yourself. For any issue that may not necessarily be resolved at Phabricator - and there are enough of those - the talk page of the relevant topic is a perfectly reasonable place to air the issue. Whoever was responsible for the suggestion to misuse the  tag needs to be made aware of the problem and there's no guarantee that they will be tracking a particular Phabricator ticket. --RexxS (talk) 01:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * As a developer of the very thingie we're discussing, I can actually state where I prefer to see reports. And if you continue in the same tone, you will lose your access to technical spaces, including this wiki. Max Semenik (talk) 17:46, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
