I would greatly appreciate some help creating an interactive map. I think I might have all the required extensions enabled but the MediaWiki page about how to make an interactive map hasn't really been helpful for me.

Ticking the box in ManageWiki enables it for you

Hi @quiet barn

A different way to simulate an Interactive map is to create a jigsaw puzzle of images ...

#

Say you have a map ... if the map were split into 2 images ... display them side by side

#

As an example, have the Left image do something different than the Right image ...

do you have any experience with the datamaps extension

the images can be arranged either by infobox or inside a table ...

quiet barn do you have any experience with the datamaps extension

Regarding Datamaps Extension ... No. I am not familiar with that extension.

Yes that's about right. I was trying to aim for something closer to what the Ark Survival wiki has

#

#

Or what the rdr2 map website is like

#

Can't share it for some reason

#

My hope is that I can put down icons on my maps and my wiki viewers be able to zoom in and out on the maps
