Just as an end cap and for completeness sake for context for future travelers:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Maps_Extension

This is the ordained replacement extension in question, which uses Lat/Lng, which is a non-linear coordinate system. It's all that it supports afaik. It may be a front end for Leaflet.

If I finish this will be the only remaining linear based Map on Wikia, at-least that I can find. I'm sure some may exist, but have not seen any other modern complementary generic Map lib for generic websites, other than Leaflet with its partial liner mode. There are closed or embedded specific use examples like in WoW Head, but are not really open or easily split from the other code.

The argument here, for the practical part, is ultimately over whether or not to allow the Witcher admin too use already existing POI data and coordinates, derived from a common non-linear system already created and used by Witcher fans.
