Map web app showing the Philippine historical markers that have been added to Wikidata.

Map of Philippine Historical Markers in Wikidata

This is a simple web application that displays a map of all of the Philippine historical markers that have been added to Wikidata. To be included in the map, a Wikidata item needs to have its instance of (P31) property set to Philippine historical marker (Q21562164) and to have a valid coordinate location (P625) property set. Each historical marker is represented by a marker on the map that when clicked will open a popup showing a photo of the historical marker (if any) and the inscription (if any) with the historical marker’s title linking to the corresponding item in Wikidata.

This application is managed under Wikimedia Philippines’ Encyclopedia of Philippine Heritage (EPH) program and falls specifically under the WikiProject Philippine historical markers in Wikidata.

eph-historical-markers-map's Issues

Convert Wikidata and Wikipedia icons to SVG

Consider adding Wikidata, Commons, and Geohack links for the location

Replace `isBlank` in SPARQL code

Per the following notice from the WDQS developers.

Add "Links" tab

This should be similar to the "Other resources" page of Panandâ but also including a link to NHCP official Blogspot directory.

Consider adding a timeline tab

Timeline tab (or sorting order in the main tab) will list the markers by year/date they were unveiled.

Consider adding a reference link for the unveiling date/year

Improve photo attribution processing to sanitize complex HTML

Currently, the generateFigure() function mostly simply copies the author string as it appears in Wikimedia Commons directly to the panel contents. Because this author string could contain any number of wiki syntax and HTML, this could mess up the layout.

A possible solution is to detect complex HTML or links and if it is detected, to just extract the User:XXX link.

Consider making the app responsive

If the window width is below a certain threshold, the map could becomes a tab.

Sanitize HTML before embedding into map

Only allowed elements: <b>, <i>, <u>, <sup>, <br>.

favicon.ico

Thanks for excellent application ...

Error I found https://wmph.github.io/favicon.ico is missing I get a 404 in the console.log

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Handle hierarchical locations

Example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q54666420

Fix race condition bug in generateFigure()

In the JS file eph-common.js, the generateFigure() function assumes that the <figcaption> that is the target of the AJAX operation is still attached to the document when the AJAX resolves. But the user may have switched the panel contents before the AJAX resolves leading to either the wrong photo attribution being added or not being able to attach the photo attribution.

The obvious solution is to update the function to refer to the panelElem Records field.
