Tracked in Phabricator
Task T362531

The 'OSM Location map' template, previously using the Graph: extension, has now been converted to get the maps from <mapframe>. One loss from this is the option for a basemap with no names. In Graph this was possible (and quite widely used) by setting 'style=osm' rather than 'style=osm-intl'.

The relevant phrase from the Kartographer installation page says:

$wgKartographerStyles

["osm-intl", "osm"]

Available map styles users can request from your $wgKartographerMapServer via mapstyle="…".

But as I understand it, this has not been made available to <mapframe>. If there is any way this could be given as an option, it would help the various editors who are asking for this at en:template:OSM Location map. Thanks.

Technically, mapstyle="osm" is available. However, I think I discovered a bug that might explain the confusion, see phab:T362531. Can you tell on which wiki you are experiencing issues with this?

It is on En:wikipedia. Having just tried it, I find it does indeed work, but not in preview. When trying different combinations, it had not occurred to me to submit any of the edits, when it didn't preview as working. That is a really useful step forward. If the bug can also be resolved, that would be even better. Thanks

Great, that confirms the issue I have seen. Thanks! The fix should be deployed the next days.

Great news. At risk of pushing our luck ... an editor also mentioned how street names continue to be shown at zooms 14 and upwards, even with the labels supressed. Just in case there was a simple way to remove them as well, I said I would mention it here. Thanks
