Board Thread:New Features/@comment--20170713212413/@comment-1077307-20170815171754

The redone WoW Wiki "Map", commissioned for Witcher but to be used on both, is about 3/4 done with respect to genericizing and simplifying all aspects for site portability and ease of use by regular wiki folk. Its 100% usable at the moment, but only if you use 2/3 aspect ratio map images and are happy with WoW style percentage based [23.4,43.6] "point of interest" coordinate styles for placing markers.

See http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Map for the new, and see http://wow.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Map for the older more crusty un-portable version. Its mostly rewritten but will necessarily retain all the nice features of the WoW version so I can make a drop-in replacement on the WoW side for its many many Map pages.

I had stopped to build an additional genericized "CommonData" DB, which could also be used from wiki code by regular wiki contributors, so that Witcher could have a chance at adding Witcher POI without the army of people that WoW used to have, back in its peak, to add all of the points to all of the pages. The DB is not required to use "Map", but can be used together. I've redone InstanceMapID as a shakedown for the new DB and was able to handle some pretty massive data sets, like the Area/Zone table form WoW.

These two facilities will be available complete in two weeks more or less. "Map" and "CommonData".
