Fichiers KML

Cette page concerne les fichiers KML et leur utilisation dans MediaWiki et les projets Wikimedia. Consultez les liens ci-dessous pour plus d’informations sur l’utilisation ou discuter des fichiers KML.

Les projets Wikimedia utilisent de nombreux fichiers multimédias pour améliorer le contenu et expliquer des concepts qui sont difficiles à appréhender avec un simple texte. Les fichiers en langage de balises géolocales (Keyhole Markup Language, KML) indiquent un ensemble de fonctionnalités qui peuvent être affichées dans des cartographies compatibles ou des logiciels géographiques tels que des services web de cartographie. Les fichiers KML accompagnent communément les pages concernant des particularités linéaires telles que des routes, lignes ferroviaires, trajectoires de vol…

Currently, Keyhole Markup Language (Q79587) files cannot be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (Q565), or any other wiki (see Phab:T28059). As a work-around, the contents of KML file are stored as wikitext on a subpage of template Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822). That template is used to generate links in an article to download the file, or view on a web-based mapping provider, using the raw version of the subpage containing the KML.

Content wikis (Wikipedias, etc)

• Wikis using KML have a Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822) template
• KML files are stored as wikitext in subpages of Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822) template
• URLs to actual, working KML files can be retrieved using action=raw; these URLs may be passed through to other websites, e.g. Bing maps or Google maps
• Pre-Wikidata setup: Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822) template retrieves URL for the KML file using {{PAGENAME}} magic word, or from an optional parameter (allows one page's KML file to be used on another page)
  • Example: Old revision (August 2015) of English Wikipedia's Template:Attached KML
• Post-Wikidata setup: Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822) template uses Module:Attached KML (Q26689774) to retrieve raw URL from Wikidata (see § Wikidata)
  • Setup instructions: See documentation of w:en:Module:Attached KML (in English, translated instructions may or may not be available through interwiki links)
• KML files are shown in WikiMiniAtlas
• Help pages (English Wikipedia):
  • Help for readers
  • Tutorial on creating a KML file

Commons

• c:Commons:Geocoding/Overlay – uses KML files to overlay images onto a map

Wikidata

• Items for KML files (remember, these are wikitext in a template subpage):
  • have statement nature de l’élément (P31) → fichier Wikimedia KML (Q26267864)
  • URLs to actual, working KML files can be retrieved using by converting sitelinks into raw URLs
• Items for pages with a related KML file:
  • have statement fichier KML (P3096) → <KML item>
• Other relevant items:
  • Keyhole Markup Language (Q79587)
  • Modèle:KML joint (Q6690822)
  • Module:Attached KML (Q26689774)
• Other pages:
  • d:Property talk:P3096
  • d:Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P3096
  • d:Wikidata:Database reports/Complex constraint violations/P3096
