Ideas mentioned:

• A short session about the Name Suggestion Index (https://nsi.guide/). There's even a Wikidata property for it: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8253
• We would like to invite an introduction of the work at https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/05/06/modernizing-our-tech-stack-for-serving-maps-at-wikipedia/
• Mapping a local community
• Wikidata Image Positions tool supports "named place on map" https://wd-image-positions.toolforge.org/file/Map_India_and_Pakistan_1-250,000_Tile_NF_45-4_Faridpur.jpg
• Toponyms as Wikidata lexemes, multiple proposals
• Tool to help improve Wikidata coordinates for a set of items
• Tool to find old maps on Commons subject to particular requirements
• Wiki Loves Maps brainstorming session

@Susannaanas the Wikidata Image Positions tool supports "named place on map"!

One question could be wow we can get translated placename labels from Wikidata on Kartographer. Currently, it uses only OSM translations and in perfect world it could use Wikidata for failback if there is no translation in OSM.
