;Article(s):

: Any article these maps already features on.

;Request:

: Okay, the above maps could do with a few updates, in accordance with the changes brought about by the Irish [[Local Government Reform Act 2014]], including:

1) The removal of the former border between [[North Tipperary]] and [[South Tipperary]], which were merged into a single entity of [[County Tipperary]] under the Act.

2) The removal of the former border of the [[Limerick City Council]] area, which the Act merged with the area covered by [[Limerick County Council]] to form a single entity under the name of [[Limerick City and County Council]].

3) The removal of the former border of the [[Waterford City Council]] area, which was merged with the area covered by [[Waterford County Council]] in order to form a single entity under the name of [[Waterford City and County Council]] under the Act.

;Discussion:

{{ping|Snow Lion Fenian}} Is there a reason for the mix of pngs and svgs? I don't have time to do it myself right now, but these could all easily be svgs. There seem to be quite a few variations of these images kicking around, there's a few listed in the derivative images from [[:File:Ireland ___location map.svg]], which I assume reflect different dates. Your above series also doesn't seem to cover all counties. Is there a list somewhere of what images should exist? <small>Also these images clearly show part of Wales which was not in all the maps I recently edited which is deeply frustrating.</small>[[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 15:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|Snow Lion Fenian}} Rather than messing about with each individual file individually, I have completely overhauled [[:File:Ireland ___location map.svg]]. The data is now structured by county and province, and it can be easily edited with just a text editor. Instead of manually updating various Ireland county maps, I would suggest recreating desired maps from this new base file.

::{{ping|Chipmunkdavis}} If you don't mind me asking, how does that work, exactly? [[User:Snow Lion Fenian|Snow Lion Fenian]] ([[User talk:Snow Lion Fenian|talk]]) 19:20, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Snow Lion Fenian}} Always happy to talk. If you look at the image code (right click view-source on https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Ireland_location_map.svg or equivalent on your browser), you can see the code is organized into named groups. At the top there is a "style" section, which controls the colours of everything in the map (currently Ireland is yellow due to the #Ireland {fill:#fefee9} code). If say you wanted the exact same map but with Kerry in red, you can just add #Kerry {fill:red} to the bottom of the style section. (Running on the assumption that I haven't included typos or misassigned islands of course.) [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 00:55, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

== Location map+ | Australia and New Zealand ==

;Article(s):

: [[Module:Location map/data/Australia and New Zealand]] and pages that use it, see [[Commons:File:Map of Australia and New Zealand.png]]

;Request:

: The base map for this template is distorted. Points are shown approximately 200km from actual positions. See the examples at [[Module:Location map/data/Australia and New Zealand]] and [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Maps#Location_map_of_Australia_and_New_Zealand]].

I would like a map similar to one (or all) of the three formats shown in [[Module:Location map/data/Australia]] that cover (approximately) the region of the existing map.

I could try and generate these myself is someone can direct me to step by step instructions.
