The wfgeoLink function hook in MapSources.hooks.php was removed without telling this to the community. Why you did this? This hook was used in our articles about 30.000 times at the German Wikivoyage to display the coordinates and link to the Mapsources special page! Now all is destroyed! See for instance the indicators on the articles!

This hook has nothing to do with slippymap!

RolandUnger triaged this task as High priority.

We are using this #geoLink hook to link efficiently to the Mapsources special page to prevent multiple template calls of coordinate conversion functions.

Let's continue in one place, T149288.
