Cool! It looks like they're using leaflet and hosting their own tile server from Open Street Map data. I really like that they opened up how to connect to their tile server (thanks to chippy for the link: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps ). When I was looking at options for creating a side project with open street map data earlier I ended up using Mapquest's open data api because Google maps had API restrictions after a number of calls and it was easy to integrate with leaflet, but if I was making it again I would consider using wikimedia's option. (Fyi, the sideproject is a static site hosted at http://newsatlas.io - it takes a news/rss feed & attempts to parse the location client side by parsing the news article's summary text and displaying the location on a map - it was written in JS with angular and leaflet as dependencies - hosted on S3).
