It would be trivial for the mobile content service to surface coordinates when available. This allows the rendering of maps / links to maps / nearby pages to an article.
https://es.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-sections-lead/Savonlinna and https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-sections-lead/Paris seem to surface a geo property but https://en.wikivoyage.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-sections-lead/Paris does not. Why?
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface coordinates on Wikivoyage | mediawiki/services/mobileapps | master | +15 -0 |
It seems Wikivoyage use a different markup - #geoCoords and abbr tags. Should this be fixed on wiki or default with in MCS?
<div class="noprint" id="geoCoord"><span style="display:none"><span class="geo"><abbr class="latitude">48.856</abbr><abbr class="longitude">2.351</abbr></span></span><span title="Click for a full screen dynamic map..."><a href="//tools.wmflabs.org/wikivoyage/w/poimap2.php?lat=48.856&lon=2.351&zoom=13&layer=W&lang=en&name=Paris"><noscript><img alt="Map mag.png" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Map_mag.png/25px-Map_mag.png" width="25" height="25" data-file-width="32" data-file-height="32"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 25px;height: 25px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Map_mag.png/25px-Map_mag.png" data-alt="Map mag.png" data-width="25" data-height="25"></span></a></span></div>

@Jdlrobson Thanks for changing the column name from Done to To be deployed. This was actually deployed on 9/21, already. BTW, our deployment process is documented here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/RESTBase_services_for_apps/Deployment_process. If you look at the git log for this repo you can see the deployment tags. The most recent one was deploy/2016-09-21/222e16b.
Sorry, I saw your request that you wanted to be involved in deploys too late. How would you like to be involved? Would you like to join a Hangout where I share my screen?
