Disputed territories[edit]

Now we have #49C946 for claimed areas. I propose to add another colour (or type of drawing) for disputed territories. Let me describe, what I mean. We have some area, which is an object of territorial dispute between countries A and B and is controlled by country A. So this area is "disputed area", when we talk about country A (area is under control of country A, but there are claims of other countries), and this area is "claimed area", when we talk about country B (are is not under control of country B, but is claimed by country B). One of variants: horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines (shading / hetching). Dinamik (talk) 09:02, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Historical maps[edit]

Well, I watched the tutorial (french), but I have a doubt, how can I make historical orthographic maps? --Remy170 (talk) 03:40, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New tool for the creation of Orthographic maps[edit]

Hello, I've seen that the existing tools are quite complex to be used, so I created a new one, web-based, to create Orthographic green/gray maps following the standards.

You can find here the prototype: https://observablehq.com/@mikima/draggable-svg-world-map

I've discovered that at the moment there are two concurring standards: the one with darker shade, ligher color for countries, and black borders, and a secon one, with a lighert shade, darker gray for countries and white background.

Style 1
style 2

Is there a preferred one? Maybe the wikiproject already discussed this. Best --Mimauri (talk) 09:06, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there are some longstanding conventions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Orthographic maps, although there are a few variations floating around as you have noticed. CMD (talk) 11:21, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2024 update[edit]

Hello all,<br>I've been editing this serie for over a decade collecting established dominant practices. The German team has done an excellent and systematic work as well with the 2012 red-based scheme, which is in line with Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Locator maps . Also, I'm adding this to the page. Yug (talk) 🐲 15:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
