Wikimedia projects uses a variety of multimedia files to enhance content and explain concepts that are difficult to convey via text alone. Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files specify a set of features that can be displayed in compatible mapping or geospatial software, including web mapping services. KML files commonly accompany pages related to linear features such as roads, train lines, flight paths, and more.

Currently, KML (Q79587) files cannot be uploaded to Vikimedia Komunejo (Q565), or any other wiki (see Phab:T28059). As a work-around, the contents of KML file are stored as wikitext on a subpage of template Template:Attached KML (Q6690822). That template is used to generate links in an article to download the file, or view on a web-based mapping provider, using the raw version of the subpage containing the KML.

Content wikis (Wikipedias, etc)

• Wikis using KML have a Template:Attached KML (Q6690822) template
• KML files are stored as wikitext in subpages of Template:Attached KML (Q6690822) template
• URLs to actual, working KML files can be retrieved using action=raw; these URLs may be passed through to other websites, e.g. Bing maps or Google maps
• Pre-Wikidata setup: Template:Attached KML (Q6690822) template retrieves URL for the KML file using {{PAGENAME}} magic word, or from an optional parameter (allows one page's KML file to be used on another page)
  • Example: Old revision (August 2015) of English Wikipedia's Template:Attached KML
• Post-Wikidata setup: Template:Attached KML (Q6690822) template uses Module:Attached KML (Q26689774) to retrieve raw URL from Wikidata (see § Wikidata)
  • Setup instructions: See documentation of w:en:Module:Attached KML (in English, translated instructions may or may not be available through interwiki links)
• KML files are shown in WikiMiniAtlas

  • Tutorial on creating a KML file

Commons

• c:Commons:Geocoding/Overlay – uses KML files to overlay images onto a map

Wikidata

• Items for KML files (remember, these are wikitext in a template subpage):
  • have statement estas (P31) → Wikimedia KML file (Q26267864)
  • URLs to actual, working KML files can be retrieved using by converting sitelinks into raw URLs
• Items for pages with a related KML file:
  • have statement KML-dosiero (P3096) → <KML item>
• Other relevant items:
  • KML (Q79587)
  • Template:Attached KML (Q6690822)
  • Module:Attached KML (Q26689774)
