=== Category:Pages with maps ===
See also: Category talk:Pages with maps.
Rename to Category:Pages using Kartographer maps. The current name sounds like that of a content category (as if it's meant to hold map-related pages), but this is a tracking category for a specific extension. Nyttend (talk) 23:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
@Nyttend and Acabashi: Closed (no objections; rename Category:Pages with maps to Category:Pages using Kartographer maps) Josh (talk) 21:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC) @Nyttend and Acabashi: Re-opened I am concerned that this move may have far-ranging effects. In fact it appears to be a hard-coded maintenance category. See Tracking categories and Template:Location for more info. Unless we a confidnet that such a move won't break a whole bunch of templates and functions, I think this one is best left alone. Josh (talk) 22:22, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
@Hjart: Practically all (99%+) pages in this category should contain Kartographer maps—but many of them are map links (which show the map itself upon click), not map frames (which are visible in small size even before user interaction). Splitting these two types to different categories cannot be done within Commons alone (it would require software changes), but links and frames can be queried otherwise separately. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
I have made a protected edit request for MediaWiki:kartographer-tracking-category so when a sysop has the chance to fix it we can hopefully close this discussion successfully. Josh (talk) 00:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Untitled comment[edit]
We have had Category:Media with locations for a long time. What do we need this new category for? It seems that most files with locations are now in both categories. Is this really helpful? -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 21:03, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Auto(mis?)categorization[edit]
The page File:Wpdms 20020923b bowling green composite.jpg is in this category, though not directly (that is, the category name is not in the page source). Presumably there is some template that adds it. The problem is that the page doesn't actually have a map. Matchups (talk) 02:08, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
P.S. How do I link to an image without causing the image to display here? I can see that piping doesn't work.
- @Matchups: : First, you can make a link to a picture like this: File:Wpdms 20020923b bowling green composite.jpg (see source for how I did it). Second, I think the map involved is the one you get by clicking on the icon to the left of the location, or the button on the right. --bjh21 (talk) 15:19, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Limit content to manually added maps[edit]
I want to find examples of manually added mapframes etc, but since this category currently includes tons of pages with nothing but object locations or wikidata boxes, it's useless for that purpose. Is there a chance only actual mapframes can be included in this category?--Hjart (talk) 16:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
