While upgrading my MediaWiki installation, I noticed that my trusted, old Semantic Google Maps has been replaced by what seems to be the successor of what I considered the promising Semantic Layers extension. The new extension is simply called Semantic Maps.

May, last year, I created an empty draft for this post, because, around that time, I had gone through quite some effort before I got thumbnails for foreign file repos working just right. Now, I'm taking a dive into my MediaWiki working dirs in preparation of the creation of a separate development environment, so it's a good moment to rehash the past experience (almost as good as when I'd have done it right away).
