Description

On Wikipedia Android app (latest production version) the Template:Maplink links its map thumbnail to wrong detail page - instead of showing the object in question (line, polygon etc.) it links to page with world map and only displays a dot at the coordinates of the object.

On mobile Wikipedia web viewed in Chrome on Android there is no such issue - the after clicking map thumbnail correct map page opens - full screen map with object highlighted.

Example - open this page on Wikipedia Android app: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kozuch/Bug3 and tap one of the maps.

The app doesn't have the JS interactivity for maps that mobile web has, this fallback map is then the expected behavior.

TheDJ renamed this task from Template:Maplink links map thumbnail to wrong detail page on Android app to Android app does not support Interactive maps.Mar 13 2020, 3:01 PM

Not a Parsoid bug AFAICT, this is an app issue. (Unless the page viewed via the REST API is missing needed modules or something like that.)
