Design Inspiration for POI markers. Suggestion: Pulling data from MediaWiki #344

Today I came across this amazing map software: https://www.legendkeeper.com/

Their UI is amazing, especially when it comes to clicking POI on a map, the way it is able to load extra information in a side panel by working with wiki software!

Suggestion - MediaWiki Intergration Match Dynmap marker names to Wiki page slugs, when clicking dynamically load the page contents from mediawiki using their API into a side panel https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page

Most servers will have a wiki, as it allows players to add lore and information about a location/world building, already! This handles storing and managing information! It can also all be client side, no requirement to have a dynamic web server as the Wiki is already hosted!

Super cool, always loved the idea of integrating the map with the wiki and vice-versa but couldn't think of an actual way of doing it
