Add zoom level 19
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Maximum Kartographer zoom level is now 18. I ask to add zoom level 19 which is state of the art for all modern mapping tools including OSM.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/394948/ should do the trick and enable zoom level 19. Before merging it, I'd like to:

  • have @Pnorman validation
  • finish the deployment of new packaging repos (T162241), we are in a somewhat messy state, I don't want to add too much changes at the same time.

We can deploy this config change once we deploy a new / clean kartotherian / tilerator version.

There is probably also a config update to be done in Kartographer. We'll need someone (collab team) to have a look on that side.

Zoom level 19 has been enabled on tile generation. The different viewers must also be adapted to allow the user to zoom in to that new level. Creating subtasks to track that.

The pull request to allow zoom level 19 on maps.wikimedia.org has been merged.

Next step: deploy to maps-test* and production.

@SBisson to clarify - the last patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/409395/ "Add support for zoom level 19 in Kartographer" is included into deployment of wmf.25. The question: I see some inconsistency in displaying zoom controls on maps between testwiki (wmf.25) and enwikivoyage (wmf.24). Both wikis have Extension:Kartographer.

testwiki (wmf.25) does not display the zoom controls:

wmf.24 https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User_talk:Zilant17/Sandbox will display the zoom controls:

I see the zoom controls in betalabs in UI:

@Etonkovidova: testwiki and most of the wikipedias have the "static map frame" configuration with less controls. wikivoyage and mediawiki do not have it so they can show more controls on the maps.

I don't know the history or the rationale for the various kartographer configurations but this difference is deliberate.

For reference, the following configuration variables would have an impact on the user experience:

  • $wgKartographerEnableMapFrame
  • $wgKartographerUseMarkerStyle
  • $wgKartographerWikivoyageMode
  • $wgKartographerStaticMapframe

Thx, @SBisson - since the latest deployment tag is wmf.25, I'll wait til enwikivoyage will have wmf.25 and check it there.

Checked in wikivoyage (wmf.25) - zoom level 19 is available.

QA recommendation: Resolve.
