Problem:
~~WDQI UI allows users to show their query results on a map (#defaultView:Map). Users can download this map with their result as svg.~~ The problem is that currently, the download (query.svg) only contains a small orange square.

Steps to reproduce:

Query results on a map, eg https://w.wiki/5Mzp
Click "Download"
Click "SVG image"

Acceptance criteria:

Users can download maps again as .svg.

Open questions:
Are there other .svg exports that we maybe need to fix?

Original:

List of steps to reproduce** (step by step, including full links if applicable):

Query any map, eg https://w.wiki/59Cg
Hit "Download"
Hit "SVG image"

What happens?:

small squared orange shows up without the expected result

FWIW, I think the most realistic “fix” for this is that we disable the SVG download for maps. I don’t know if it’s even possible to save a Leaflet map as an SVG image without horrible hacks (e.g. leaflet-image says it’s incompatible with Leaflet.markercluster, which is what we use for markers IIRC), and it would likely be a major effort at least.

I think several other result views don’t support being downloaded as SVG either (probably including the table view); as far as I’m aware, the SVG download option is mainly, and perhaps only, useful for the “chart” result views (line, scatter, bar, etc.).

Hi @Bouzinac, thank you for reporting this! Unfortunately, we will not be able to bring back .svg as it was never there. (Thank you, Lucas, for pointing this out!)

Instead, I opened a task that helps us to avoid this confusion in the future: T311594: Wikidata Query Service UI: Remove maps download option that is not actually working
