;Request:

: The [[Commons:Oceania (orthographic projection).svg|current map of Oceania]] is centered around the country of Australia, can someone change the map so it is centered around the geographic center of Oceania instead? Also, the current map has some islands that are a part of Oceania that are not colored in green. For example, Polynesia is a part of Oceania and only a few of its islands are colored green, and most of its islands aren't even visible on the map due to the way it is centered around Australia instead of the geographic center of Oceania when they could be visible if it was centered correctly. Even then some of the Polynesian islands that are currently visible on the map aren't colored green such as the Hawaiian Archipelago. The geographic center of Oceania is {{Coord|13|21|S|178|9|W}}. -- [[User:Treetoes023|Treetoes023]] ([[User talk:Treetoes023|talk]]) 17:21, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

:::Congratulations, everybody, on changing a map (mostly) of Oceania to a new map (almost completely) of sea. D'oh! [[User talk:Serial Number 54129|<span style="color:blue">SN54129</span>]] 16:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

::::The map hasn't been changed. The requested map was uploaded as a new one and it's up to the editors to decide whether they want to use it or not. Oceania is obviously mostly sea, so I don't see how else one is supposed to show, not just part of most most of it, but all of it, without exposing it for what it is. Suggestions on how to achieve that would be greatly appreciated. [[User:M.Bitton|M.Bitton]] ([[User talk:M.Bitton|talk]]) 17:32, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
