Description

Import from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48279

It would be great if the Mediawiki Maps plugin is able to 'map' IP addresses. So something like: {{#display_map:IP=209.85.139.9}}

I can see lots of cool stuff if this is possible. For example, we are hosting software that people can download for free but we do capture people's IP address. Would be nice to create a map to show where software went to.

Thanks for considering,
Albert.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the MediaWiki Maps extension's existing display_map handling and geocoding support. Determine how the requested IP address should be resolved to geographic data and what map output is expected; done means the example syntax produces a useful map, with behavior covered by appropriate tests.
