:For this request to stand a good chance of being taken by someone, you'll have to provide more details, i.e., do the legwork. [[User:M.Bitton|M.Bitton]] ([[User talk:M.Bitton|talk]]) 13:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

:I don't know about the Graph or Chart Extension, but actually you can get a map similar to the one for MSCI World by deriving it from [[:File:BlankMap-World.svg|BlankMap-World.svg]] by adding a few lines of CSS to its source.

:On its talk page there is a section about [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:BlankMap-World.svg/Documentation#Selecting_and_colouring_countries coloring countries] and you can for instance modify the svg file in a text editor (the talk page also mentions inkscape as another method for modification). If you have basic knowledge of CSS this should be relatively straight-forward after researching the country codes and deciding how to handle small countries (more info on small countries (<code>.circlexx</code>) found in the file itself and again on the talk page).

:I guess you'd like to add something like

:The above list of countries for FTSE All world is taken from the Fact Sheet with Data as 31 July 2025, so it might not match the exact list of countries you had in mind (Pakistan?).

:While writing this I realize I might create the SVG myself soon (and upload it to Wikimedia and include it in the English and German Wikipedia articles on FTSE All-World). I keep this text here nonetheless hoping it is somewhat helpful for not just my future-me but also others.

::As of 2025 Pakistan doesn't seem to be part of the index anymore (removed September 2024 according to page 42 here: https://www.lseg.com/content/dam/ftse-russell/en_us/documents/ground-rules/ftse-global-equity-index-series-ground-rules.pdf ? ).

::Thanks for the input. The map template is shown on the right.

Hello. 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. Thank you.--[[User:Jamesy0627144|Jamesy0627144]] ([[User talk:Jamesy0627144|talk]]) 06:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

:There is discussion now at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps#Must the text used within maps always be pure black?]]. So people should participate there rather than here. To avoid confusion. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 04:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi! 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)
