Extension:DataMaps

The DataMaps extension lets you display interactive maps using Leaflet without additional services.

The maps can feature:
 * circular markers, pin markers, or markers with custom icons;
 * rich marker details panes with Wikitext titles, descriptions, an article link button and an image;
 * an optional coordinate display;
 * multiple switchable backgrounds;
 * "collectibles", with a checklist the user can tick things off on;
 * a search function for markers;
 * custom JS integrations.

A visual editor is in the works and will be eventually released in phases as core enablement refactorings are done.

Installation
Wikis on wiki.gg can request this extension to be enabled via the platform's representatives.

MediaWiki support plan
Main development and testing is done on the same version of MediaWiki that wiki.gg (1.39 as of December 2022) is running or planning to switch to (1-3 months ahead). Older versions may receive limited supported when requested.
