Description

If the MediaWiki server does not have an Internet connection (which is typical within enterprise Intranets), the Google and OSM maps embedded on client side are empty. The frame is shown, but there is no map.

It would be great if server-side processing could be disabled (e.g. fetching geocode) in order to support showing maps purely fetched and rendered on client-side.

See this mailinglist thread.

Research direction

Start by tracing the server-side geocoding and map-generation path, then compare it with the client-side Google and OSM rendering flow described in the issue. Read the linked mailing-list thread for prior discussion. Done means maps render on an offline MediaWiki server using client-side fetching, while connected-server behavior remains supported.
