Well I hope it helps. I did want it to be something easy to use, so that's good feedback. Its a complicated subject. I did want the bulk of the code to stay on the template side, rather than Lua or an opaque php extension, so that each site/wiki had the ability to easily change something critical, rather than hang to add lots of other infrastructure to work around an issue. So the wikis have every chance to keep the code the actual regular wiki users use on the pages as simple and obvious as possible, as much as things like this can be.

There is a wiki data base type thing, for points or other things, you can hook up to it on the Toads site also if you feel so inclined. There's a lot of discussion about it above in this thread also.

As far as Wikia's map use, a lot of the web, and even mobile apps, are getting to pretty much willy-nilly use maps all over the place, even for fairly silly things. It's a huge method of conveyance that's becoming ubiquitous, and definitely adds a bit o flash and color to wiki content which is fairly drab vs the rest of the web now.
