Leaflet Maps using the GeoJson namespace
This map of Berlin is displayed here. But it is defined on the GeoJson:Berlin page (in GeoJson format)
{{#display_map: center=Berlin | geojson=Berlin}} tries to display the data on the (default for this wiki) Google service - but Google doesn't work with GeoJson, so it just shows a map of the 'place' Berlin.
Compare that with:
{{#display_map: center=Berlin | geojson=Berlin | service=leaflet }}
By specifying the correct service (Leaflet), we get the proper map of Berlin, and the GeoJson data also included in the display.
