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
[edit]- library - would look better if it incorporated a building along with a book/books, see these
- fire station - currently resembles an active fire, not a station
- bank - should be a dollar bill or bank building (fixed in Maki, not here)
- school - should resemble common school icons
- prison - unclear, looks like a fence (fixed in Maki, not here)
- synagogue - should resemble common synagogue icons
- church - should resemble common church icons
- mosque - should resemble common mosque icons
- building - should be renamed 'house', with a better symbol for building (fixed in Maki, not here)
