copycoords works not with leaflet
Setup
- Maps version:9.0.6
- MW version:1.35.5
- PHP version: 7.4.27
- SMW version (if applicable): 3.2.3
Issue
The parameter copycoords=yes does not work with format=leaflet. Instead of popup the dialog for copycoords the browser context dialog opens. This works fine with googlemaps.
In case of leaflet it only works if you click a marker. Not any place on the map. Do you have a use case for getting coordinates from arbitrary positions?
You can see it working at https://maps.extension.wiki/wiki/Leaflet_Maps_examples#Copy_coords
Ok, rightclicking on a marker works on my wiki too (have not seen this before). That issue came up as we used openlayers on the wiki some longer time ago and a user now with leaflet complained that copying of coords is no longer available. It was somehow handy to simple copy coords from whereever you want.

Yes, most definitely: we want users to select a position on the map of where they are located. That's for the MCH2022 event, where villages can choose their preferred location on the map.

Choosing the leaflet type. THnx!
