Wikivoyages need to stop using Kartographer cross-loading content from WMCS

Per this thread on en.wv's Pub, this is a cross-Wikivoyage issue. I am raising it here for visibility to all Wikivoyage editions, but I don't know how active any coordinating conversation will really be here. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:40, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

That means markers and listings will be unavailable, right? Unless there is an alternative solution, this would be disruptive for Wikivoyages. Are there any plans to implement a feature similar to the group attribute? Or should we prepare a huge Mapframe containing all the markers in the article? @Jdforrester (WMF) Tmv (talk) 02:32, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

@Tmv: Yes, that's my question. The Wikivoyage community has had this pending for a decade now; I'm asking if anyone is co-ordinating the idea of implementing the feature. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 16:17, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

@Jdforrester (WMF) Hmm, I haven't seen any discussion on this migration.

@RolandUnger, do you know anything about this? And do you have any ideas on how we should handle the migration? Tmv (talk) 17:02, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure there's not. This thread is my feeble attempt. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:35, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

@Tmv: I do not know anything about this. And as I wrote elsewhere I however understand that the Wikivoyage feature is not available in the Incubator because it would function not only for Wikivoyage but also for all other non-Wikivoyage sub-wikis. --RolandUnger (talk) 06:32, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

To be honest, I can't recall any previous conversations about it. The cause of the problem is also not very clear. Wherein is Toolforge used? What prevents such a usage? We can't approach the solution of the problem before we actually understand it.

My general understanding is that one has to group individual points from a Wikivoyage article for displaying them on a map. This grouping can happen externally (as it is done now? but this is only my guess...), within Kartographer, or through some module/JS-script in Wikivoyage. Are the developers saying that the Wikivoyage-based solution is the only option now? Are we explicitly advised to go for such a solution, regardless of any potential issues with page loading that it may cause? This is not very clear either. --Alexander (talk) 09:50, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

@Dereckson, @Yurik Do you have any comments on this. Adithyak1997 (talk) 21:11, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
