Enable Nearby
MobileFrontend provides the Special:Nearby page with a little configuration. To get this to work a few optional steps are required:


 * Due to browser security you will need to be running a secure site over SSL: it is not possible to request a users location over HTTP


 * Install geo1>Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GeoData|GeoData


 * Run update.php


 * In LocalSettings.php add $wgMFNearby = true;


 * Add data to your articles to one or more pages   see the documentation for geo2>Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GeoData|GeoData for syntax details

Alternatively you can use an alien MediaWiki instance for Nearby with the following 2 lines in your LocalSettings. The nearby endpoint will be used to find related content to a given location.
