GeoShape

Wikimedia's GeoShape was an attempt to display ways and areas of the Openstreetmap Database in Wikipedia to illustrate articles. In contrary to GeoHack, wich does this for points given in Wikipedia, GeoShape takes the data entirely from OSM, using the [wikipedia]-tag of objects. It is replaced by WIWOSM.
