:Notice the “link=” parameter in the map code. This is supposed to link to the part in the Wikipedia article that contains the source and talks about the events in the town. So for example, if you click on the dot of the town "Inkhil" on the map, it will take you to the part of the Wikipedia article on the town "Inkhil" that has the description of war events (& sources): link = "[[Inkhil#civilwar]]" Here the first part ''before'' the # is the name of the article (Inkhil). the second part ''after'' the # is the name of the section (civilwar).
 
:For this to work, there needs to be a section by this same name in the article or you need to put a wikilink anchor: [[WP:ANCHOR|<nowiki>{{anchor|section}}</nowiki>]] that will act as a section header (in this case <nowiki>{{anchor|civilwar}}</nowiki>). By the way, sources &/or status description can also be found in "battle/offensive/etc..." articles and not just in towns' articles... A quick look at the map's code will tell you where each town dot will link.

Line 446:
:::Both KDP-, PUK Peshmergas and unaffiliated ones fight for Kurdistan Region, thus my opinion is that it would be wrong to differentiate between these. Also, bear in mind that the "border" between these two parties is very blurry - perhaps even impossible to find. KDP is present in Kirkuk city with PUK, while PUK has some Peshmergas in Sinjar with KDP. KDP control some towns in Kirkuk, for example [[Altun Kupri]], which has no PUK presence. So, we would just make the map more complicated. --[[User:Ahmedo Semsurî|Ahmedo Semsurî]] ([[User talk:Ahmedo Semsurî|talk]]) 19:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
:Concerning YBS, perhaps a solution could be to change the color for SDF in the Syrian map as well? --[[User:Ahmedo Semsurî|Ahmedo Semsurî]] ([[User talk:Ahmedo Semsurî|talk]]) 19:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 
== Desert border crossings ==
 
Are we now marking all military bases on border as "border crossing". From what I know border crossings are official crossings that are are overseen by some force as only official point of entry for civilians. Umm Jaris, Tal Sufouq, Tawsin, Tarifoa or Baktal are not border crossings. They are former Iraqi border guards bases that are now either occupied by Peshmerga, PMU or no one.

== Orange dots? ==
 
What are the orange dots in Ninevah Province supposed to represent? [[Special:Contributions/70.59.227.82|70.59.227.82]] ([[User talk:70.59.227.82|talk]]) 16:18, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
::: This is the [[Ezidixan]] autonomous region in West Sinjar administered by the [[Ezidixan People’s Council|Ezidixan People’s Council (EPC)]] and controlled by YBS and HPG units and was established with the help of Syrian YPG back in 2014.
:: It officially declared autonomy under Iraqi federal law this summer. It fought against Barzani (and Turkey-supported) Rojava Peshmerga in Sinune a year ago, preventing KRG from entering west-Sinjar.--[[User:Niele~enwiki|Niele~enwiki]] ([[User talk:Niele~enwiki|talk]]) 09:18, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 
== Desperate need to split KDP and PUK control colours. ==
 
The map in northern Iraq has become unmappable without seperating PUK and KDP control.
Without this the situation becomes un-understandable and misleading for people watching the map.<br>
 
I personally think:
* KDP should be a greenish yellow
* EPC (Sinjar Alliance, YBS,HPG,...) '''should be same yellow as Syrian SDF,YPG''' as they are supported and established by them.
* PUK needs to be an orangy yellow as they are at this moment closer to Iraqi government.
 
But without splitting KDP and PUK and merging YBS with SDF's colour, we will get completely stuck in trying to map the new situation.--[[User:Niele~enwiki|Niele~enwiki]] ([[User talk:Niele~enwiki|talk]]) 09:26, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 
== Kifri? ==
 
Is there a source that Kifri is now under Iraqi control? I reverted this change, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map&diff=806363386&oldid=806358471 was reverted] by [[User:Beshogur]] without explanation.

:I added a source before. If you find Rudaw reporting that it's under Pesh control, then add. But you can't find any source. [[User:Beshogur|Beshogur]] ([[User talk:Beshogur|talk]]) 18:50, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

== Qandil ==
The [[Qandil mountains]] are marked on the map as under KRG control, but they are actually controlled by the PKK and PJAK and have been for many years.

== Desert villages changed without a source ==
 
why are desert villages in Al-Anbar governorate north of the euphrates river and desert villages west of Salaheddine governorate changed from ISIS controlled to Iraqi Government control,is there a reliable source for this change,because i am unaware of such an offensive occurring at this time.[[User:AlAboud83|Alhanuty]] ([[User talk:AlAboud83|talk]]) 17:48, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
:It was implied in a couple of other sources, including Twitter and a report cited in the main campaign article. The news source reported that ISIL only holds territory in Iraq's Anbar Province, between Rawa and the Syrian border, which means that ISIL no longer controls any territory at all in the Nineveh Governorate.

== Ain Zalah Oil Field ==
 
The Ain Zalah Oil Field is currently depicted as being under Peshmerga control, along with a couple of neighboring villages. However, [https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/05/world/middleeast/kurd-independence-iraq-turkey-iran-syria-maps-backfired.html?src=twr this report] implies that the Peshmerga has already withdrawn from that district entirely? So who currently holds the Ain Zalah District? IF someone wants, feel free to change that area to Iraqi Government control. You can use this source if you want.
