RolandUnger added a comment to T327292: Investigation: Move GeoJSON blob to the bottom of the HTML.

Maybe for some tests: At German Wikivoyage, the Articles "Halle (Saale)" and "Wien" use the biggest amount of Kartographer GeoJSON data, in Halle (Saale) about 180,000 bytes. I hope that the page rendering is a little bit faster with the blob at the end at least for these articles.

RolandUnger added a comment to T327292: Investigation: Move GeoJSON blob to the bottom of the HTML.

@thiemowmde, I read your note. Only MediaWiki:Gadget-MapTools.js uses wgKartographerLiveData, and the gadget is called after complete load of the article by using $( mapTools.init ); at line 811. I hope that this is sufficient.

RolandUnger added a comment to T332029: Investigation: Look into the disappearance of the de.wikivoyage WV nearby feature.

I think the disabling of the Wikivoyage nearby feature is proved a failure. The usage of this feature should be controlled by the community itself which can be done easily in MediaWiki:Kartographer.js and by adding a variable to the map object which can be analyzed before calling wvmap.nearby(). The were discussion on several pages (https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Lounge/Archiv_2022-12-31#Karte_mit_den_Wikivoyage_-_Artikeln? , https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:L%C3%B6schantr%C3%A4ge/Wikivoyage:Artikel%C3%BCbersicht ) asking to keep the Wikivoyage nearby feature at least for a map showing all articles. In my view, the disabling of Wikivoyage nearby would meet with a refusal in other Wikivoyage branches, too.

RolandUnger added a comment to T327151: Defective Kartographer maps in Wikivoyage: empty maps and wrong group names.

@awight: You are correct that the display of external data never worked correctly. It was changed several times on someone's (Wikipedian's) instance and became worse and worse. I think at the beginning there were hints like Wikidata ids linked to Wikidata. And as you correctly noted, there is another problem: normally these objects should not be displayed because they belong to groups. There do not present separate groups.

RolandUnger added a comment to T328739: Kartographer maplink presents senseless coordinates in Wikivoyage for geoline external data.

Geo objects (lines, shapes) defined in <maplink>s are never written to the articles source code/HTML code. That's why they could never used as a link.

RolandUnger added a comment to T328739: Kartographer maplink presents senseless coordinates in Wikivoyage for geoline external data.

It is correct that the Kartographer software was not yet well documented. It is unfurtunately the same like other software projects including mw core. Primarily, the Kartographer software was developed for the use in Wikivoyage wikis in a collaboration with Wikivoyage's authors, and that's why the prior behavior was intended even if not documented (or only in the shallow depths of the web). In case of point markers, usually the text is not empty (text="") but undefined (see for instance function mu.makeMarkerSymbol in https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Modul:Marker_utilities). In case of lines and shapes defined by <maplink>, empty texts are combined with class = "no-icon" (see for instance function _mapframe in https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Modul:Mapframe). This makes sense for geo objects like lines and shapes because they usually have no point coordinate which could serve as a map center.

@awight: The Script https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-MapTools.js uses the data from wgKartographerLiveData Javascript variable. In most cases, the features are included in this variable. The only exceptions are external data from OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia Commons: they must be fetched from WM's map server because they are not available elsewhere. Unfortunately, ext.kartographer.box is not able to do this job by itself.

GeoCrumbs are cascading so it makes sense to make a null edit on pages with escaped span tags. Using the parser function isin the precursor of an article is specified, and so on. There is only one exception: if the page title consists of both a basepage name and a subpage name, then the precursor is taken from the basepage name if isin is not specified.

For most non-Wikipedia wikis the automatic search is not restricted to the leading section (and sometimes not suitable, too). This restriction was introduced because of a not suitable search algorithm. The result of the automatic search is often not clear for many authors that's why is useful that the authors can autonomously select the page image of interest.

Contrary to Wikipedias, there is no obligation to use references in Wikivoyages. That's why there are big differences in usage among articles.

I am ready, and the community, too. At German Wikivoyage, there is only a small community, and only a few users who are using the old tools. The community already decided to use the new tools. I will remove the gadgets, used up to now for the same aim, this weekend to prevent any conflicts.

@Jdlrobson, @Lena_WMDE: I thought it would a simple task to enable "Reading preferences" at the user's preferences. As I told: we need both the "enable page previews" (as already done at the English Wikivoyage) and the "enable reference previews" options. The main case is to remove the gadgets as they are used now at the German Wikivoyage (to reduce maintenance work).

RolandUnger added a comment to T287071: Sometimes, language button will not open language list if user is logged-in.

To make it more clear: The language button is not working properly, ie the languages list cannot be opened by pressing the language button. The failure occurs only sometimes not at all the time. That's why it is not easy to reproduce it. But it occurs both at German Wikipedia and at German Wikivoyage which use completely different gadgets. That's why I think that local gadgets are not the cause for this failure.

RolandUnger added a comment to T278206: Drastic increase of "The time allocated for running scripts has expired." errors for Lua/Scribunto string functions.

The functions mentioned are not really broken but non-performant. For instance, I was using about 100.000 split operations in 250 templates. Firstly, I did it with mw.text.split(), and it took about 3,000 ms. Then I replaced these convenient but slow functions with Lua functions like match() and gmatch(), and the same took only a few ms. 3,000 ms computing time is really much and finally it caused an allocation-time error.

Now I am making several changes on https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Modul:VCard and its submodules. To prevent (many) error messages I am checking https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Kategorie:Seiten_mit_Skriptfehlern (pages with scripting failures) twice per day and after code changes. That's why I think that the jump in time consumption occurred 12 (or not more then 24) hours ago. The time consumption of https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Halle_(Saale) is checked weekly because it is one of the most time consuming articles. We would earlier detect the changes by Debian upgrades made in January, 2021. We observed similar results to December 2021 a few days ago.

RolandUnger added a comment to T267296: Javascript errors: Unable to add datalayers to map.

It is not the first time that the map server is not working properly (T231964, T226412). But these malfunctions should not block drawing map structures which are not fetched from the mapserver/OSM database. The non-database structures are drawn only after a successful fetching of geolines and geoshape objects. If the fetching failed then the drawing of non-database structures will be blocked because of errors of JavaScript promises. This should not happen in any case. That's why I propose the following two changes:
