In particular, I am interested in a Europe outline map posted here in the SVG format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blank_maps#/media/File:Blank_map_of_Europe_(without_disputed_regions).svg I can download the outline map from the Eurostat website; however, I am pretty sure that, on Wikipedia, maps should be designed in a standardised fashion! I want my map to be similar to other maps available on Wikipedia! Please note, it is very difficult to use SVG files, because countries are not polygons after importing the SVG file into QGIS/MapInfo. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Harel Wiki\|Harel Wiki]] ([[User talk:Harel Wiki#top\|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Harel Wiki\|contribs]]) 21:29, 17 February 2022 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> == Survey: Help improve Kartographer == [[File:Technical_Wishes_Geoinfo_Logo.svg\|right\|200px]] ''Sorry for cross-posting'' Do you create interactive maps with [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer\|Kartographer]] (mapframe)? If your answer is yes, we would like to hear from you. Please take part in our survey and help improve Kartographer! Some background: Wikimedia Germany's [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes\|Technical Wishes team]] is currently working on the [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer\|Kartographer extension]]. Over the last few months, we have been working on a solution to make this software usable on [[phab:T191585\|wikis where it isn’t available yet]]. In the next phase of the project, we are planning to improve Kartographer itself. Because Kartographer is used quite a lot on this wiki, we would like to ask you: '''Where do you run into problems using it? Which new features would you like to see?''' Editors of all experience levels and with all workflows around Kartographer are welcome to participate. '''Here is the survey: https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Kartographer-Workflows-EN/''' * The survey is open until March 31. * It takes 10-15 minutes to complete. * The survey is anonymous. You don't need to register, and we will not store any personal data which identifies you, such as your name or IP address. More information on our work with Kartographer and the focus area of Geoinformation can be found [[m:WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation\|on our project page]].

Am I reading this wrong and if I'm not, where should they go, a subpage of [[WP:E&R]], perhaps?

I found out about this place from a discussion on Reddit, where it was noted that a map is sorely needed for [[United States involvement in regime change]]. It should ideally be just like the map in [[Soviet involvement in regime change]], which is excellent. I was told that it'll probably take a long time for someone to do this, but I thought I'd give you a nudge to get the ball rolling. Thanks for all the great work you folks do.

I am currently locked in a dispute over whether the coloring of text on a map must be pure black or whether it is OK to have some color in it for purpose of giving a little bit of flavor to the appearance. I [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Maps#Must_the_text_used_within_maps_always_be_pure_black? made a post] at Wikiproject Maps and am crossposting here for purposes of getting as much input as possible. I did a search for WCAG in the archives and nothing came up, so I hope this is OK to crosspost here since the issue appears to have never been discussed before here or at WikiProject Maps.

I've been slowly translating the maps in Category:Maps_by_United_Nations_Office_for_the_Coordination_of_Humanitarian_Affairs into various Saami languages and I consistently run into problems where certain parts of the map (but not all) are paths in the files and not translatable text. For example, the names of the rivers and the ocean in the displayed map of Angola are not translatable. If they exist in Portuguese, I can use those files, but then they still have the OCHA watermark on them (which should be removed?). As it seems that this is an issue throughout the category, it will not be trivial to fix, but would anyone be interested in working on this? - [[User:Yupik\|Yupik]] ([[User talk:Yupik\|talk]]) 12:20, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
