First, I would like to say that the comparison page showing all the applications that use Open Street Maps is "amazing".
Second, I would to apologize for duplicating this post; I'm not what key I accidentally hit for that.
There is one column that I think would be a very good addition, although I don't know how difficult it would be to get this information. You would probably have to ask each developer if their app supported it.
Since many users devices, especially phones, have a limited amount of internal storage, they are looking for a way to store at least the map data, and possibly the app itself on an external SD card. If a column were added to the charts that indicate this capability, it would be very helpful.
You only need to go to the CoPilot forms to see how this has become a hot topic over there. An otherwise excellent product is being abandoned by many users because of their refusal to fix their product to allow this. Their forums contain many references to MapFactor Navigator, which does support this (like many apps) but they just blame everything on Google/Android, and have refused to do anything in over two years.

Hi guys,
I'm using the Bootstrap skin for a small wiki. It looks and works great. The only problem is that it doesn't show checkboxes, for example the ones in the login screen and in Special:UserRights Does anybody have an idea how I can have working checkboxes while using the Bootstrap skin?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
I always using external image to paste the picture in the mediawiki. If I use internal phrase of mediawiki, the direct links with the png ot jpg external file name will auto show the picture in the mediawiki. But I want to
1. resize the picture and add the frame line around the picture so I want just using html phrase and don't want using wiki's phrase. I find the rawhtml function and it seems can provide full html support, but even if I add the command - "$wgRawHtml = true" in the localsetting file ,it(rawhtml) seems not work (still show the picture automatically). If I want to enable some phrase with html code and remove all the mediawiki support temporarily, how could I do?
and
2. just want the picture link using the type of hyperlink like the result of vbb code [url=XXXXXX.png]hyperlink name[/url] Because the picture will auto showing after I paste the direct link with png external file name , I can't use this method to show the hyperlink like below example - [http://XXXXXXXX.png hyperlike name]
3.Then,if I use the nowiki tag, it seems not only stop support mediawiki phrase, but also I can't use the html phrase, is this true?
thanks anyone answer my questions

Não colabore com a tirania mentirosa, comprometida, desqualificada, parcial e vendida dos mediadores da Wikipedia em Português!
Can anybody think of a reason why HTTPS links would not be rendered as links? All instances of HTTPS links across my entire wiki (including pages in the Special namespace [i.e. Special:Version]) are rendered as if surrounded by <nowiki> tags.
Ex.)
HTTP renders properly
FTP renders properly
[https://test HTTPS renders exactly like this]
Problem with formating when trasfering text/html formated site to Mediawiki formated site.
Hi,
I have two wiki sites and woud like to transfer articles from old one to new. Then appears problem with formatink.
Old page content type: content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
New page content type: content="MediaWiki 1.19.5-1"
And this is code of my article:
Outside quote
quoted black word grey word grey word grey word black word grey word
On old site article looks: http://s23.postimg.org/t10ogt3pn/wiki1.png
And on new: http://s23.postimg.org/t10ogt3pn/wiki1.png
So, my questioon: It's there a easy options for quoting and shadowing words?
I am trying to upload a current picture and Wikipedia says I don't have the authority to do that. How do I get the authority?
You need to become autoconfirmed first. That means you need at least 10 edits and 4 days of account age.
Note: in the future, questions about Wikipedia should be directed to w:en:Wikipedia:Help desk. Thanks.
Hello,
I understand I can type posts in Chinese however all the management controls and buttons etc are still in English. Is there a Chinese version of MediaWiki or a chinese friendly other wiki?
Yes, it is available https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences
Dear all,
I just got an sudden thought, that 'Why do we need wikipedia in all languages, instead we have a single pool of all the articles, from all the languages, and just translate them to the requested language.
benefits:
- all the languages will have the all the articles.
- less maintance of articles.
needed:
- a better software to translate the articles -> not exist now, but can be built if open source contibuters wish to have.
- better community -> which already exist.
It's a thought, may be someone have come across such idea's earlier, or it have some practical complications. Let the community to think on it.
I really feel sorry for my poor english. I tried on my best to write it right. Thank you all!
Developing high quality, universal language (machine) translation is beyond the scope of Wikipedia. (At this point in time, it seems to be beyond the scope of anyone, anywhere!) In fact, sufficiently accurate, nuanced language translation between any two languages is not yet at the level of accuracy needed for users of encyclopedic content.
Also, the difference between the various language versions of Wikipedia is greater than the language difference. I don't know how to articulate what this difference is, but I have observed it. The current approach seems to be rather effective.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Readers can choose to use machine language translation as needed. For now, this seems the more prudent arrangement i.e. to have machine language translation as an option, a helpful alternative, rather than the default.
This topic (discussed several times over the years) belongs to http://meta.wikimedia.org and not mediawiki.org. Please continue the discussion there, if you wish.
I'm having a problem when searching for a page to translate (Template:Main page/sitelink5/pt-br). The current search engine (Cirrus) does not offer the option to create non-existent pages. Can anyone help me?
Direct link for you ;) In my opinion, MainPage should be migrate into new translation system (through Translate Extension).
fwiw we have a good chance to come up with a sane approach for localization of the homepage as part of MediaWiki/Homepage_redesign.
