For maps it would be a great improvement if the imagemap extension can superimpose another, smaller, image as link destination. Example for a map with a red dot as superimposed image, followed by the link destination: <imagemap> Image:ExampleMap.JPG|500px|Test map circ 52 34 5 [[Image:Reddot.svg|5px]] [[Link destination]] desc none </imagemap>
Not sure how best to accomplish this... CSS positioning? Server-side composition? SVG?

Created attachment 5910 [details] proposed patch This patch implements the new "shape" `image`, and allows relative and negative positions. With it you could use a line like > image 50% 50% none [[File:Test.png|20px|link=test page|Some description]] where "image" means to add a superimposing image. "50% 50%" is the base position. "none" is the alignment of the superimposing image (hereby centered). Available are the same positions as for "desc". So top-left means the base position is the upper left position of the superimposing image. bottom-right would be the lower right corner and so on. The relative positions work for real shapes as well: > rect 10% 10% -10% -10% [[Test]] would add a rectangle with a margin of 10% in height and width. There are some new messages I don't have written yet.
Created attachment 5917 [details] minor errors, extended link syntax I made <imagemap> understand lines like > circle 1 2 3 //Test// so {{#tag:imagemap}} could be used for location maps. Normal link don't work, because <imagemap> gets the parsed links and not the plain text.
Created attachment 5941 [details] Moved (now) redundant code into a static method; links no more have to be well formed
