...and it seems that I failed to install the Maps extension for my #MediaWiki installation successfully.

...now that I've actually found the compatibility lists for the Maps extension, this does look like a rather strong contender. Thanks for pointing that out!
I guess I'll just wait until a new, compatible version of the extension has been released.

Or run MediaWiki 1.43, if that's an option for you?

I am leery of downgrading an active wiki.

Looks like it's been reported and fixed by others testing on MW 1.43.

@krinkle @juergen_hubert Their policy seems to be to only support LTS releases of MediaWiki, so official support for 1.44 is unlikely.

Ugh. I have 1.44, but I _really_ don't want to start over.

This particular issue was fixed so if you install it from Git, it might work.

@krinkle @juergen_hubert I do not see any commit that looks like it might have fixed it in the git history, and the ticket you shared was closed by the reporter after they were told the issue would not be fixed and they should stick to the LTS version. So no, I don't think it is fixed on the git main branch and I don't think running some random wip commit from Github in production is a good idea anyway.

@krinkle @juergen_hubert It does seem like version 12.0.0 lists "partial" 1.44 compatibility in its readme, whatever that means.

...huh. I just realized that the official instructions for installing Maps, which I used, only install version 10.1:
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update mediawiki/maps:~10.1
Perhaps it will work if I substitute "10.1" for "12.0".

Okay, I tried it again - with Maps 12.0 this time.
It doesn't create an error, which is progress. But while it displays a map box in the correct size, the map is stuck at "Loading map..."
EDIT: Huh, now it loads. Presumably, it took a while until the leaflet API recognized my site...

Success! I managed to generate a map with a map icon generated by a semantic query!
For the next step, I will have to wait until the Maps Extension Wiki becomes online again so that I can read up on their assorted templates - annoyingly, that wiki has a _lot_ of downtime.
But either way, thank you both for your help!
