When creating a clickable map using the new map feature, the software copies the previous map entry onto the next item. This causes the links to be wrong. Taking an image map I made with software which does that, I then translated it to the format Wikimedia expects. The generated map copies item one to item 2. Now item 2 contains all the coordinates of item 1 in front of its own. Then item 3 contains item 2's coordinates before its own. Examine the page for List of Texas Area Codes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Texas_area_codes Check the clickable links, notice how some of them don't match the area code they are to represent. Examine the wiki source and see that each area is marked for a specific place, then look at the actual generated page through 'view page source' in your browser, the coordinates in the wiki source and the coordinates on the generated page are not the same; but it's easy to spot the problem: the map coordinates in HTML for item 1 are copied to the front of item 2; then the coordinates for item 1 and item 2 are copied to the front of item 3; then the coordinates for item 1, item 2 and item 3 are copied to the front of item 4, and so on. Basically, the link generator should not copy each entry in front of the one that follows it. :)
Fixed in r20298.
