            Bug ID: 432598
           Summary: Marble uses ws.geonames.org, which is gone, should use
                    api.geonames.org
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
               URL: https://www.geonames.org/export/ws-overview.html
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kevin.kofler at chello.at
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The geonames-based Marble plugins, such as the Wikipedia one, use the
ws.geonames.org server. But that domain appears to be gone. As a result, the
services do not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Marble.
2. Enable the Wikipedia service.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Wikipedia buttons start showing up.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I use Fedora 32, but it should not matter. All branches of Marble use the same
obsolete URL.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
According to:
https://www.geonames.org/export/ws-overview.html
the services use api.geonames.org now.
