Issue creating map with JSON data

[edit]

Hi all. I've created a map of a Free Economic Zone in Zanzibar using Umap, but am having trouble uploading the data, as there appears to be an unavoidable syntax error on the commons:Help:Tabular Data portal for .map page creations (As laid out in the instructions here). Even if posted within the correct bracket ([]) syntax, the hidden message at the bottom is an inescapable error (i.e '/' is flagged as red, no matter how many lines you delete or the configuration you place it in. This is the case whether the JSON data is actually present or not, despite it being necessary to indicate the proper license and relevant information on the map (and being stated as being automatically deleted upon uploading the data). I've already posted support requests for elsewhere, but simply am flagging the fact that there appears to be an issue with the upload configuration itself, as this appears to be the location where that ultimately would be handled. I can provide any additional details that would be helpful. All the best, and my thanks in advance. CSGinger14 (talk) 20:41, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
