Description

Steps to Reproduce

Open https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Walt_Whitman_Bridge
Click on the mapframe map in the infobox (the one with the blue location indicator)

Expected Results

A link event is fired with the link to view the map. Currently, the desktop and mobile versions route to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Whitman_Bridge#/map/0 but sending the mobile clients there likely wouldn't work. Does PCS need to load the map JS? Does there need to be a separate endpoint in PCS for viewing maps?

Actual Results

A link event is fired with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Map/13/a/a/en

@JMinor @Charlotte Can you define what you want to see here, from a product perspective?

@JTannerWMF assigning it to you for evaluation, since this might be worth exploring once the Nearby Articles functionality is implemented in Android.

@MSantos Can you share more of what you're thinking with @Seddon and how it relates to nearby in the Content Transform team so I can better understand priority

LGoto edited projects, added Wikipedia-Android-App-Backlog (Android Release - FY2023-24); removed Wikipedia-Android-App-Backlog.

LGoto moved this task from Epics in Progress to Needs Eng. Manager on the Wikipedia-Android-App-Backlog (Android Release - FY2023-24) board.

@JTannerWMF considering that a "native" map will be available, that means users could be redirected to that app map view instead of opening an URL for Special:Map that won't work as expected [1].

This is low priority IMHO, but worth considering to have in the apps radar.

[1] I don't have an screenshot for the Android app, I only have the iOS one
