;Request:

: A new, English-language map showing the phases of the early Muslim conquests (632–715) by reign. Our best map depicting the main phases of the [[early Muslim conquests]] by reign dates to the late 19th century, is in German, not high quality, too detailed, and needs to be recolored for clarity. The quality and issues with the map have been raised by reviewers in a number of FAC's, most recently the current FAC for [[al-Walid I]]. The new map should essentially be based on the German map but with far less detail. It should show the main expansion phases under Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Mu'awiya I, Abd al-Malik, and al-Walid. It can use the second map above showing the Umayyad Caliphate at its height in 740 and the major neighboring states and peoples as its template. One important change would be to show the entire Maghreb region (Morocco) as it is cut off from the other two maps. Ideally, the revised can be easily amended by other users in the near future. -- [[User:Al Ameer son|Al Ameer]] ([[User talk:Al Ameer son|talk]]) 18:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

== Horn of Africa relief map ==

;Article(s):

: [[Nairobi]], [[Mogadishu]], [[Kisumu]]

;Request:

: While there is an existing map of the Horn of Africa in the appropriate template, there is no relief map specific to the region, which means that articles like Nairobi, Mogadishu, and Kisumi have a strange-looking map in the infobox, which cycles between standard and relief maps. Would it be possible to easily create a relief map based on the existing non-relief map?

Existing [[Module:Location_map/data/Horn_of_Africa|module with the non-relief map]]

I've never created a map before but would be very keen to take a stab if there's a good guide on how to get started (just couldn't find any, so if there are those which I couldn't see, please link me)

Thanks!!

;Article(s):

: List of articles on Wiki image page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vancouver_Island_contour_map.png

;Request:

: I'm not totally sure on the process of altering a ___location map. While I appreciate the retro nature of the existing one for Vancouver Island, it would be lovely to have an updated map with topography (and another with just lines would be bonus) that could be used particularly for infoboxes!

: For example, in the style of the [[Module:Location_map/data/Washington|Washington state ___location maps]]. In addition to topography/rivers/coastline, it would be good to show the Canada-USA border.

: If someone has time to take up this request, thanks so much in advance and I can integrate into existing articles. Would love to learn how to make those template-style maps at some point. Cheers!

;Discussion:

: Hi {{u|Uninspired Username}}, {{done}} with [[:File:Canada Vancouver Island ___location map.svg]]. I've also updated the module so all pages using the old ___location map should be updated. I've chosen a better projection and used an inset, though I'm happy to make modifications as desired. I wasn't sure if you wanted a ''relief'' map (showing gradients, etc.), but I thought it would be best to bring the current ___location map up to standard first. I can have a go at making a map like [[:File:USA Washington relief ___location map.jpg|this]] if desired (thought I am not great at these).

: As for making a map yourself, it's a bit of a steep learning curve but have a look at the navbox at the bottom of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Location maps|the conventions]] to learn a bit about it. Hope this helps – [[User:Isochrone|'''<span style="color:#042559">I</span><span style="color:#0c3c8a">s</span><span style="color:#1d58b8">o</span>chrone''']] ([[User talk:Isochrone|T]]) 16:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I created this map in 2004. It is very small and very terrible and I never dreamed it would still be in use in 2023 and on multiple wikis. As a mercy to a middle-school student who may need to use it in a report, I humbly request that someone please remake it. Thank you kindly.
