"Commons on OSM" not updated[edit]
@Simon04, Retsam, Kolossos: @Dispenser, Dschwen, Jarekt: The tool "Commons on OSM" linked from the {{location}} template (data of WIWOSM?) has not updated data about half of year again.
Is there any way how to make this tool more reliable? Could someone create an explanation page which should be linked from the {{location}} template? The linked Commons:Geocoding page says nothing factual about these failures and delays.
Similar problem occured also in the past: November 2016 – January 2017. --ŠJů (talk) 23:36, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Examples:
- This photo and the whole set of my uploads from 2018-04-02 – 2018-04-09 are not in the database.
- This photo and the whole set of Juandev's uploads from Dezember 2017 are in the database, but recent corrections of their coordinates are not updated in the database. --ŠJů (talk) 00:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- ŠJů I maintain the {{location}} template code but I have no information about which of the tools called by the template are still maintained. I always found lack of information about it quite frustrating. Maybe we need to create a page listing all those tools, what they do and who maintains them. We can start with what we know and live blank parts we do not know, in hopes that some will fill them. --Jarekt (talk) 02:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
Info @Para: is the maintainer of GeoCommons, which is responsible for providing the locations of images, afair. --El Grafo (talk) 13:27, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
I think this is the relevant Phabricator ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105593 – Some geolocated photos not shown --Simon04 (talk) 14:16, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
@Jarekt, ŠJů: I resumed development on my osm-gadget-leaflet project. It allows to display spatial objects from OpenStreetMap, and Wikipedia articles and Commons photos on a map. I'm happy to incorporate feedback and bring it to production… It only relies on the mw:Extension:GeoData#list.3Dgeosearch API. --Simon04 (talk) 20:17, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Simon04: Isn't any bug in this map? All photos seem to have identical heading. The previous versions can display heading and distinguish images without heading. --ŠJů (talk) 22:27, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Simon04, that looks great. We seem to have several OSM based map tools:
- mw:Extension:Kartographer by user:Yurik
- commons-on-osm which does not show as many images as your Wikipedia tool
- osm4wiki used to show images from a single category.
- There is also https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/kml-on-ol.php?lang=wikidata&title=Q40 which seems to be identical to your https://tools.wmflabs.org/osm-gadget-leaflet/#/?lang=wikidata&article=Q40
- I am having a hard time with how to differentiate them in the template. I think we could either add yours or swap it with commons-on-osm. If we add it then what should we call it? --Jarekt (talk) 02:01, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @ŠJů: The rotating Commons icon is not (yet) implemented in osm-gadget-leaflet. --Simon04 (talk) 07:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Jarekt: The tool osm-gadget-leaflet is meant as a modernized re-implementation of commons-on-osm/osm-on-ol. So both tools provide geometries from OSM, and geolocated items from Wikipedia/Commons. --Simon04 (talk) 07:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
