Not the first time I show up with this project here, once again I need some assistance. We all know our SVG blank world map which is used, with some alterations, for choropleth maps. What I am now working are historical world maps, i. e. I track changes in the world map from today back to the past. Current state is 1992, and now I would like to have a first historical SVG blank world map. The data exists as a shapefile within a QGIS project, but I am to much a beginner to be able to export the data on my own in sound way. Is there anyone here who could assist me by that, creating something like a template that enables me to continue on my own?-- Antemister ( talk) 08:30, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
As usual, my explanations arised more questions than it answered, so more in detail step by step:
1) The shapefiles I sent you actually include a political world map for any time between 2023 and 1992. You have to activate Layer ISO and then place ISO_borderchanges on top. The latter includes a polygon for every country whose borders differed between 1992 and 2023 from the today's borders. So, e. g. for Yemen the shape between the 1992 border agreement with Oman and the 2000 border treaty with Saudi Arabia (indicated by the date in the attribute table), the post-2000 border is then current border and thus not part of the ISO_borderchanges layer. By applying the temporal controller you can use the slider to display a world map for any time between (yes, it it works only limited now because I have not added a dummy date if the shape existed before 1992, but it should be sufficient to understand the principle)
2) Look at
[3], i have been in contact with the site maintainer there, and he could add my map as long I provide him an SVG that works with his application.
3) Have a look at source code of linked SVG file, instead of having 70 different maps for each year, there is only one SVG which has a similar structure as my QGIS project. It includes all the different country shapes plus a time range, e. g. "GDR 1949 1989". If you place the slider at, say, 1955, the software takes all shapes whose time range include that year and drop the others. So you have a world map of 1955 (the idea of structuring the QGIS file was of course I derived from this)
4) My research goes far more into detail as it would be necessary if the only aim were such choropleth maps, tracing also minor border changes. Australia incorporate Norfolk Island in 2015, and for South Africa/Namibia it is the transfer of Walvis Bay in 1994, that why these countries are included.
So, ideal solution would be the extraction of an SVG map that has a Wikipedia-style look and a Historicalmapchart-style source code, than I would provide it to Mapchart, he implements it into his application, we take out a map for each year to upload it at Commons for documentary purposes, and for general use Historicalmapchart is applied.
Has my plan become more clear?--

I would like a map that provides context for a historical kidnapping from Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia to Preservation Island, Tasmania and the places the parties lived. All the maps seem very cluttered, so I would like them simplified. Basically, something like this as an example, but only with Australia (no New Zealand) and with the inset bigger than the map of Australia. The inset would show only the Melbourne area to the Furneaux Islands. I know it sounds kind of complicated but basically, I’d like all the clutter removed from this and the inset to show the area between the bottom legend's 144° to 150° and the side legend from 38° to 41°. 1) I'd like the Australian states named, with Victoria bolded. 2) I'd like Melbourne, Point Nepean, the bay, Port Phillip, Arthur's Seat, and Western Port shown. The locations of the last 3 are on this. 3) For the western islands in the Bass Strait, I'd like these shown with Robbins Island highlighted. 4) For the eastern stretch, I'd like this image to show the Furneaux group, with Mount Chappel Island, Little Dog Island, Gun Carriage Island (shown on the map as Vansittart Island), Preservation Island, and Clarke Island highlighted. Is this possible? 17:31, 26 August 2023 (UTC) SusunW ( talk) 17:31, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
SusunW Hope you had a good trip.
I made some changes and if the circa year is not correct we will just change it.
Now you can find it here

I am requesting a map that shows the location of Sar-Dhok locality (Lat. 32° 49′ 39″ N: Long. 73° 43′ 51″ E; altitude 805.45 ft) in Pakistan. It is for the article Sivapardus. The color used to mark the location may be any reasonable color so long as it meets the accessibility guidelines, and I have no real opinions on the inclusion of additional borders and labels for districts, etc. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 ( talk) 18:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
