  • GeoCommons, GeoHack
    GeoHack was implemented through the {{Coord}} template. GeoCommons was brought up as a place that data may be able to be extracted from for implementing embedded Google Maps. Thomas_Lerman 21:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Threads started:
  • Embed code in Wiki to link maps/videos
    It was brought up about YouTube embedded in a Mediawiki article. I believe it is possible, but normally disabled. I do not think we really want to do this. I believe it was only brought up because of the question whether Google Maps (or others) may be able to be embedded. I am sure it is possible to do as I have done quite a bit embedding of maps onto other pages. The main two parts that would be needed would be an extension and then all of the data to draw the boundaries, clickable areas, text, etc. I could create an extension pretty easily, but the data is not easy task (GeoCommons may be a great help though). A big disadvantage to these would probably be that external search engines would need a separate link to be able to spider to the other pages. Thomas_Lerman 21:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Access Codes , advertisement rules.
    The [Talk:Access Codes|discussion page for Access Codes] has a fairly lengthy discussion including proposal for [:Category:Access code templates|Access code templates]. Advertising rules would include difference between "advertising" an organization that has sponsored article(s) even though they still may sell products/services and a company advertising their products/services directly on the Wiki.
