  • Problem: World maps are a useful means to provide a quick overview in many articles. However, a minority of users are skilled to create and update such maps.
    Example of a map that regularly needs to be updated (plastic bag laws)
  • Proposed solution: It would be handy to have an extension (similar to e.g. Graph or EasyTimeline) for world maps. It would need be possible to assign a color to each country (using codes such as USA or ITA).
  • Who would benefit: Users who don't have SVG editing skills; readers who are shown world maps (that would otherwise not exist).
  • More comments: It would make it easier and quicker to create and updated such maps compared to editing SVG files. Examples of the types of maps that could be created and updated using such an extension are found in e.g. Category:SVG political maps of the world.
