Graphist opinion(s)
Chidgk1, please take a look. I got the names of the biomes directly from the source SVG (I also tried your links, but they were confusing and didn't seem to align exactly with the source details). If you would like me to make any other changes, just let me know exactly what you need. Or if you're happy with the result, let me know too. LápizRoto (talk) 06:35, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LápizRoto Sorry for extremely late reply - for some reason I only just noticed you had done this. Thank you very much. I especially like the well-placed legend box.
I see that @Terpsichores created Western palearctic biomes.svg in 2012 based on WWF data. I understand that WWF later passed the responsibility for maintaining such data to One Earth hence my links. So I think the reason for the non-alignment you mention is that the biomes have been updated since 2012. For our map to be up to date, if possible I would like the One Earth maps to be used and cited as our source not WWF.
Also the One Earth maps look better as they have fewer lines. Would it be possible for you to update per One Earth? If you need me to contact them via https://www.oneearth.org/contactus/ please let me know. Chidgk1 (talk) 07:07, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Map is unmaintainable by editors who might wish to correct details

[edit]

Article(s): wikipedia:en:Law#Legal_systems

Request
Are there any frameworks or tools that could replace this file with a version that maintains the high graphical quality of the original, but permits granular editing (for example of facts like changing political boundaries, or developments in the subject matter, or corrections resulting from sourcing errors)? TheFeds 21:56, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
@TheFeds: Not sure what you mean? Are you struggling with editing SVG files, in such case you can use Inkscape. BorysMapping (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My concept was that this map had been created with a tool or framework of some sort, which queried and generated the political boundaries, the table and graph styles, etc., and allowed the user to not resort to manually drawing vectors in Inkscape. Without the practical ability to correct small errors, the images will gradually become less usable in Wikipedia articles, and might have to be editorially omitted or couched with limiting statements.

@Debray05
Suggestions:
  • You could put that information in the different maps Information part and write which, because maybe they are included so that people will easier locate the routes.
  • If you want some cities removed you will have to provide which cities in which map so the graphic worker will know (probably the graphic worker will have no knowledge of this, this is your field of interest/knowledge) and then they can be uploaded as new versions and not overwrite the current ones.

Hello Goran, nice to meet you.
Sorry for just reading your comment.
Perfect! I have left the message in each discussion in the “Information” section of each image.
I understand that you have used current cities as a guide, but the truth is that during Columbus' voyages, those cities did not exist.
Instead, there were pre-Columbian cities, which I have indicated in each message so that when a designer decides to help us with the adjustment, they can use them as a guide.
Thank you very much. Debray05 (talk) 16:58, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Debray05 Please always ping me.
I'm sorry I should have checked the files more closely before. They have different languages translated within the code of the file. This can be a useful thing sometimes but it also complicates things, and it doesn't work so great sometimes.
I do not use the translation tool myself [translation tool for the first image) and I don't have any good knowledge about it.
So this makes everything more complicated and I do not have the knowledge to work with this, so I will not be able to help you with this, sorry. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cannabis maps

[edit]

Article(s): en:Legality of cannabis, en:Cannabis in the Czech Republic

Request

Can someone please change the Czech Republic to orange on the first map (File:Map-of-world-cannabis-laws.svg) and green on the second (File:Legality of Cannabis in Europe.svg)? Cannabis is not currently legal in the Czech Republic but is decriminalised. It won't be legalised until 1 January 2026, then it can be changed to blue, but it shouldn't be blue on either map now. Helper201 (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You left this message on my talk page, and I explained that both maps display laws that haven't yet come into effect. The same was done with previous jurisdictions and is consistent with other cannabis-themed maps such as those of the United States. --Ratherous (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And as I explained, consistency does not make anything correct. The map is displaying wrong information. That is factually correct to say. It doesn't matter how many times you do something wrong; it will always be wrong. Neither this map nor any other should be displaying information that is not currently factually correct. How is a Wikipedia reader (i.e. a non-editor) supposed to know which laws are current and which are future looking at these maps? They can't. Therefore, I posted here because you seemed unwilling to make this change and we seemed to be at an impasse. Helper201 (talk) 16:42, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you would like to change the policy the maps follow you would have to have a discussion regarding doing so for both of those maps, not unilaterally demand someone makes changes for you. Also the Wikipedia articles do indeed expand on dates the laws come into effect, so the readers do very much have access to this information. Not to mention, one of the maps is literally a map I created and uploaded. --Ratherous (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And where has such a "policy" been formed in the first place and where would it be changed? I have "demanded" nothing, I made a request. I don't see anywhere on these maps where it states that the legalisation for the Czech Republic hasn't actually happened yet. Finally, you might like to read en:WP:OWN.
Also, Mexico is flat-out wrong. Cannabis is decriminalised in Mexico, not legalised. Helper201 (talk) 04:02, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a consistent pattern not only with this map, but as I mentioned previously, with other cannabis-themed maps from other regions with numerous precedents from previous jurisdictions legalizing the substance. Again, this is not exclusive to cannabis-themed maps, but also certain other legal visualizations, an example of which I have previously provided for you. I hope you realize Wikipedia and Commons are different projects and en:WP:OWN differs from COM:OWN. I don't think me inviting you to engage in a discussion over this issue in any way exhibits over-possessiveness over my upload in a manner that is contrary to COM:OWN. All files on Commons have talk pages, similarly to WP articles, which would, of course, be the appropriate location for a discussion. Your comment regarding Mexico would likewise be appropriate on the map's talk page - considering you provide sources and clearly back-up your claim, someone is very likely to respond either in favour or in opposition relative to the provided arguments. As you said yourself, "Therefore, I posted here because you seemed unwilling to make this change and we seemed to be at an impasse." Once you received push-back regarding your request on one user's talk page, your immediate reaction was to repeat your request elsewhere rather than opt for a wider discussion on the map's talk page - I'm not sure how not to perceive that as a demand over all else. Being at an "impasse" over content-related issues would be an appropriate point to start a wider discussion on both WP and on Commons. --Ratherous (talk) 01:27, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Age of majority

[edit]

Article(s): en:Age of majority

Request
Some of the colours used for the ages on this map are too similar to each other and could cause problems for people with colour-blindness and other sight related issues. Specifically, the ages for 15/16 and 21 are very similar (seem to both be shades of orange) and the ages of 19 and 20 are also very similar in that they are both shades of blue. I would propose more distinct colour differences and would recommend changing the age of 21 to black and 20 to red. Helper201 (talk) 23:27, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Request taken by cmglee – Agreed that the colours should be updated. Having brownish colours for both lowest and highest values may confuse readers. Additionally, as the map is mostly green, that colour's saturation can be decreased. However, the map is used on many articles and updating legends will need much work. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 15:21, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recoloured and legend added
@Helper201: Is this better?
cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 14:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmglee: its definetly better. However, I think it needs at least one change. <16 is very vague (could be anything from 0 to 15) and there is only one country among these that sets an age lower than 16 that I could find and that's Indonesia. I'd recommend setting a new colour for 15 and marking this in the key to be clearer and then "<16" in the key can be simple changed to "16". Maybe use black for 15 and "LightSlateGray" for 16? Helper201 (talk) 17:43, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Helper201: It is no vaguer than the original, which states "age 16 or younger". Nevertheless, if it is indeed true that only Indonesia is lower than 16, I'll make the change. Can someone please confirm?
Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:24, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmglee: my apologies, I didn't mean to say that you made it worse, just that it could be made better than it was in the first place (i.e. before it was changed) by being less vague. Regarding Indonesia being the only country under 16, see here. Helper201 (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Helper201: No worries, and thanks for clarifying.
Delving deeper into the question, 2001:1970:56df:7d00:d09e:3d3:80f8:7257 (talk · contribs) removed Yemen from the age-15 category in this edit. The previous reference is now invalid.
http://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/age-of-majority-by-country still states that it's 15 but cites Wikipedia. Would you be able to find an authoritative source for Yemen, please?
Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:01, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. The article cites a "Constitution ot the Yemeni Republic" which states "3 - Age of Majority: eighteen full calendar years." http://natlex.ilo.org/dyn/natlex2/natlex2/files/download/83560/YEM83560.pdf concurs, so I've moved Yemen to age 18.
Re colours, I made age 15 black and age 16 dark blue so that the colours get darker away from 18. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:16, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing map

Request
The dark blue (indicating the temperate zone) is much too dark, making it look like the main objective of the map (i.e., where Budgerigars occur), rather than just another climate zone. Please make it a much paler shade, comparable to the other climate zones in colour intensity (I don't have svg-editing software so can't do this myself). I'd suggest #80eecc for the new colour. Once done, I'll undertake to edit the keys on all the wikipedia pages the map is used on to clarify the new colour. - MPF (talk) 16:17, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the SVG image. You may have to flush some browser caches to see it. Thank you for suggesting a specific color, and one that doesn't look like it is trying to indicate water. – b_jonas 11:01, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's superb, thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:05, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your source is not a true svg it has a bitmap within it. I will create true (only) svg for your translations.

Corrections in SVG map

[edit]
Request

Hi! With a group of users at eswiki and enwiki, we're developing a Lua module for creating colored maps (see w:Plantilla:Map, w:Module:Map and w:Module:Map/world for the data). The module is just starting but it's already finding its way into real articles. We originally imported the SVG data from https://simplemaps.com/resources/svg-world (license). However, we recently found some errors with the SVG data and would appreciate it if someone more acquainted with maps and SVGs could help us fix them!

  • Galápagos Islands are missing
  • Western Sahara is being invaded by Morocco!

Update Québec area maps to correct boundary

[edit]

General map

File:Localisation_de_la_ville_de_Québec.svg

Maps of boroughs

Maps of neighbourhoods

Neighbouring municipalities

other municipalities


Article(s): en:Wendake, fr:Arrondissements et quartiers de Québec, en:La Cité-Limoilou, en:Les Rivières, Quebec City, en:Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, en:Charlesbourg, Quebec City, en:Beauport, Quebec City, en:La Haute-Saint-Charles, Quebec City, and many more.

Request
Can the aforementionned maps be updated to properly reflect the boundary of Wendake, the indigenous reserve/municipality?
The boundary hasn't changed since the maps were made. The maps were never accurate since their inception.
A good portion of the maps are based off of File:Localisation de la ville de Québec.svg
I have contacted the original authors, and either have gotten no response or have been referred to here.
The other parts of the map should stay the same
I know that this a big request, please do let me know if it should be split. I thought it would be simpler to request them all in one shot.
Thank you very much to the person that will pick this up! --Wolfy13399 (talk) 01:33, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
