Feature request: allow rotating the wikimedia map
Closed, DeclinedPublicFeature

Description

When using the Wikimedia Maps, no matter via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Maplink or https://maps.wikimedia.org/ , it appears that the North is always on the up side and there are no way for users to rotate the view, unlike some other internet map applications. It would be nice if the Wikimedia Maps can also be used in other orientation.

Upstream issue "out of current Leaflet scope". If they can't make it, we aren't doing it either. We can't have it all.

As mentioned in the upstream issue, the Leaflet have a "rotate" branch that can do the required thing.
