Description

Current documentation is disjointed and too technical (also spread across many pages)

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer

To make it easier for contributors to add maps we should provide a user guide similar to what has been done for the visual editor.
