Please use the following colours recommended by WikiProject Maps.

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Locator maps (blank)}}

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Areas maps}}

Use only Sans serif-type fonts in the maps.

• Names of coastal cities are written in the sea
• Names of rivers and mountain ranges follow the path of the river/range
• Capital cities are usually marked with a star

All maps should be drawn SVG format. SVG is a vector format that allows upscaling without pixellation. It also allows users to download and modify the map to make derivatives. Please do not use the following raster formats: .png, .gif and .jpg for maps. For topographical maps, use .png.

TBD

• If the map contains no text, upload it to commons:
• If text is needed to be added to the map, please make two versions: One, a blank map without text, and the other with text. Upload the blank map to commons, and the one with English text here on en wiki.

Only images with a licence that allows commercial usage and allows derivatives to be made may be uploaded to wikipedia. The following licences qualify:

• PD (Public domain) – user releases all rights to the image
• GFDL – derivatives or commercial usage must be released only under the GFDL licence. User must be credited.
• CC-BY- (creative commons, attribution) – similar to GFDL, the user must be credited, but derivatives may be released under other licences.
• CC-BY-SA- (creative commons, attribution, share-alike) – same as CC-BY- but derivatives may be released only under the CC-BY-SA licence

You may use either one of the above. However to allow maximum compatibility across all wikimedia projects, it is suggested that we use either PD, or a dual licence GDFL + CC-BY-SA (v1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0).

(dual licence).

Use the following template:

Two popular SVG drawing software available are Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator. Inkscape is free and available for many platforms.

• Draw images in the highest resolution possible.
• For text please use a generic font such as Serif, Sans-serif. Sans is more suited for maps. The wikimedia renderer rasterises all fonts using Arial, so use Arial regular to maintain appearance of the map.
• In inkscape make sure that you unflow the text
• Ensure that no embedded raster images are present
• Always add metadata. In Inkscape, metadata can be added in the Document Preferences.
