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.

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.)
