New show nearby articles feature for Kartographer

Hello!

I write you because you have proposed to show nearby or related articles in maps in this year’s Community Wishlist Survey.

I am happy to let you know that soon it will be possible to automatically display nearby articles in a map on Commons and other Wikimedia projects using Kartographer. This feature is one of the improvements to Kartographer the Technical Wishes Team from Wikimedia Germany has been working on. Each Kartographer generated map in full-screen mode is now given a new “Show nearby articles” button at the bottom. It can be used to show and hide up to 50 geographically close articles.

The deployment of this feature is planned for 12 October on a first group of wikis. After the first feedback phase, more wikis will follow. Read more on our project page. Your feedback and comments to our open questions on this feature are very much appreciated on this discussion page. Thank you! Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (talk) 13:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

@Timur Vorkul (WMDE): This is great, thanks for working on this! Will give feedback on the discussion page! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Request for adminship

Greetings to you. Could you help me in acquiring adminiship rights so that I help to improve Wikipedia articles related to Uganda? NBV2010 (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

@NBV2010: You can do that without admin tools, happy editing. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Approval:

Hi Mike, how are you? I come to humbly ask you for the approval of Camila Samara de Souza's page on Wikidata. Yesterday, a request was made to exclude her, I even sent a message to the editor not to do that, because this person has a great influence in the city of Belo Horizonte for her philanthropic work. As you had edited her page, the idea came to me to make this request for you. 2804:D45:C278:D00:FC71:BBE0:B0D3:69AF 19:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
