Maps Attribution: static map display
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

For static maps, we need to always display an attribution line for Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap (OSM), no matter the size of the map.

As referenced here, for OSM, we need the following:

Our requested attribution is "© OpenStreetMap contributors". Because OpenStreetMap is its contributors, you may omit the word "contributors" if space is limited.

For static maps - the minimum attribution to be displayed is:

and the link will be attached to "Wikimedia" in the attribution line for all static maps: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Maps_Terms_of_Use

This patch actually updates the attribution text for interactive maps as well:

Hi @JGirault - we want to use the new link URL: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Maps_Terms_of_Use - that's what we received from Legal during yesterday's meeting. I referenced it in an email yesterday, and updated this ticket's description with the new link to use. Thanks!

There's no content in that page. Are you sure? I agree that the terms of use for maps are best located on wikimediafoundation.org, but pointing to a working link is better. :-)

agreed - a working link is much better and we've seen and agreed with the draft wording from Legal. I'll add that wording into that page and we can update as needed afterward. It'll be a working link shortly.

Moving this back to needs review - as it was reverted last night during SWAT: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/327274/

@debt it is done, noone needs to review it, it will ride the next train. Only the swat was reverted due to complexity of swating i18n changes.

FYI, the maps attribution link went live this week (via the train), thus this ticket and T151900 are now complete.
