The maps task force asks that all map requests be left on the requests page and not on this page. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Help!

I created KML data for this draft, Draft:Capitol Highway, in the References section, and converted it to GeoJSON, but upon loading, it just throws an error. How can I fix this? thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 19:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I figured it out. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading GeoJSON to Wikipedia in raw form has been dying a slow death for years now- the preferred method these days is uploading to Commons under a Data:_____.map page and calling it using a ‘from’ parameter in the template BMACS 1002 21:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The upside to putting the map data on Commons is that it's reusable on other editions of Wikipedia, or even the AARoads Wiki. M-6 (Michigan highway) and M-6 (Michigan) use the same map file on Commons, for instance. Imzadi 1979 → 21:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
