On English Wikipedia and other wikis configured to use static maps, previewing a page (from wikitext edit mode) shows an interactive map rather than a static map. This is unexpected and confusing: there should be consistency in what you preview when editing and what you see when reading. Especially since things like automatic zoom and centering only work with interactive maps, not static maps. (Initially reported in T202793)
