Please provide us with blank maps of Europe or World in a format, which can be used in QGIS or any other common GIS software (for example shapfile, SHP). 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%;">—&nbsp;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-->

''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]].

Thank you for your help! – [[m:user:Johanna Strodt (WMDE)|Johanna Strodt (WMDE)]] ([[m:user talk:Johanna Strodt (WMDE)|talk]]) 13:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
