Testing Announcement: New Ways to Embed Interactive Maps on Pages
Hello everyone!
While we’re currently running the third iteration of the experiment to track progress in maps, I’m here to announce another planned enhancement to this interactive feature for every community. Since the end of March, we already announced we were working in parallel, to both experiment with features like progress tracking, but also adding native enhancements to the Interactive Maps tool and for all the communities. The first one was the option to use the full screen to display a map, and we’re currently starting to test how we can embed maps on pages in different ways.

Experimentation Announcement: Progress tracking in Maps 3
Hello everyone!
We are already in June, and this is my fourth blog post on the Fandom Stars Wiki, talking about our recent experiments and implementations. Some of my recent updates have been about the current experiment on gaming wikis with maps to use a feature for progress tracking. Now I would like to explain a bit more about our next plans.
On June 10, we are launching the third iteration of our experiment, releasing multiple design variants of our feature interface. Before moving on to the next details, for people who are not familiar with the experiment, you can see the initial details we shared on March 8, and also the second iteration we announced on April 12.

Experimentation Update: Map Progress Tracking Storage in Database
Hello everyone!
Since almost 3 months ago, we've been experimenting with Interactive Maps, adding a feature to track your IRL game progress using markers. You can read all the details about the release of the first iteration on March 4 here, but also extended details about the release of the second iteration here.
One of the previous limitations we had for the initial release was the storage of your progress data, using for these last weeks a local storage in each user browser.
We are glad to announce that, starting next Monday May 27, we’re starting to save your progress tracking in our database, using your Fandom account. This change would avoid losing your previous progress, if for instance you cleaned your data saved in your browser, or ad…

This is my first time publishing a blog post here, on the Fandom Stars Wiki, and I have to admit I’m really excited for it!
