@DerFussi Could you please provide a link with a discussion which approved this?

For just a variable? We did not request an extension. The kartographer is available on Wikisource already. Its just a configuration setting to have it work properly. I will try.

OK.. If consensus need not, I will made a patch.

@DerFussi - can you explain what you're wanting to do with this change? Are you wanting mapframe to be enabled on dewikisource? Here is a list of sites that have mapframe enabled: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps#Wikimedia_projects_that_have_Maps_enabled.

Maplink is enabled already on all sites and projects.

Please do not assume that since something is working on dewikivoyage, that it would automatically also work on dewikisource.

@Zoranzoki21 - please hold off on your patch until we fully understand what is desired by dewikisource and @DerFussi.

Ok @debt

@debt I am aware of that. Thats why we asked for these settings and use the "wikivoyage" mode of the kartographer. I have asked a @RolandUnger to write a more detailed explanation here.

The setting of the variables is necessary not only to enable maplink and mapframe tags but to enable the so called Wikivoyage mode. This mode allows the usage of the autonumbering feature with maplink as it was developed mainly for Wikivoyage. It adds the marker features including the deployment of additional Kartographer styles and Javascripts. At https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer these additional goals are described:

• "Ability to incrementally add features to the map. For example, each usage of the restaurant template adds a single POI, and the map shows all of them.
• Added features need to be indexable. E.g. the first restaurant template would show [1] on the page, and map would show POI as a clickable [1] element. There could be multiple index counters at the same time, each for its own type of POIs."

See also at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer , Section <maplink> and auto-counters.

Thanks for the additional information, @DerFussi and @RolandUnger, it helps to clarify things.

de.wikisource already has mapframe enabled on it, so you can create maps that uses the incremental numbering. You can see a sample map that I created here.

However, be aware that the 'Group' functionality is only available for Wikivoyages and no other projects.

Unless there is anything else that we should look at, I don't think there is any work for anyone to do on this ticket, as the functionality you're wanting is already 'on' de.wikisource.

Autonumbering and groups belong together for temporary selection of groups. In particular, this is useful for maps used in articles which are usually smaller than the full-screen mode.

Maybe it makes sense the check the usefulness of this group feature in other projects.
