World map with all Wikipedia articles

Many Wikipedia articles hold geographic coordinates which allow for displaying locations on a map. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is the basic map used. The map is activated by clicking on the link "Karte" (=Map) on the upper right-hand side next to the coordinates in German Wikipedia articles. The map also contains images and links to other Wikipedia articles.

In order to allow the map to work, JavaScript must be activated in the web browser. An example can be found e.g. in the article Heilbronn (German Wikipedia).

OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia

[Quelltext bearbeiten]

The free world map OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project in which people from all over the world offer their geographic knowledge free to use.

Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap join forces and link their data:

  1. Wikipedia articles are illustrated with maps
  2. Wikipedia articles are linked on the map

Placing Wikipedia articles into a spatial context to each other and to other objects is the main goal of the Wikipedia OSM map. To this end Wikipedia articles are georeferenced with coordinates. The respective node is collected as part of the WikiProject geographical coordinates. In subproject Wikipedia-World the data is being processed for the use on the map.

Anybody can collaborate in OpenStreetMap - just like with Wikipedia. The OpenStreetMap Beginner's Guide helps you with your first steps in OSM.

Open map view

Coordinate in the upper right-hand side of the article with "(Map)"
Article with map

In the upper right-hand side of the articles you can often find a coordinate with a "Map" button.

  • A click on (Map) opens the integrated OSM map, a second click closes it.
  • A click on the coordinate opens the "Geohack" page where you can choose from various maps to view the location.

Popup with link and image

Clicking on an icon opens a small window within the map. The window shows the link to the respective wikipedia article and an image from Wikimedia Commons if available. Clicking on the link opens the article in a new browser window.

Please contribute to the project by adding coordinates to wikipedia articles:

Wikipedia articles shown on a world map

[Quelltext bearbeiten]
Wikipedia-Worldmap
OpenSeaMap

Two maps displays all georeferenced Wikipedia articles worldwide:

Wikipedia-OpenStreetMap
OpenSeaMap with Wikipedia

The more you zoom in, the more (local) articles are displayed. The GUI of the world map works as explained in the section "Usability".
