- The parent of this WikiProject are WikiProject India and WikiProject Maps
Aim – This project aims to draw hi-resolution, vector maps for India-related articles. It also aims to get hi-resolution raster (.png) topography images. mastan
Scope – NPOV maps related to India (post-1947) and historical pre-Independence India (includes the South Asian nations of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan). The secondary goal would be to get NPOV maps for Pakistan, PRC, Afghanistan and Bhutan since they border disputed territories of India.

Types[edit source]
The project is divided into locator maps, general maps and city maps.
Locator[edit source]
Locator maps are used to show the location of a city, town, state or particular area within India. It is also used to show the location of a district, division or region in a map of a state
General maps[edit source]
Non-locator maps. Maps of this type incude rivers, ancient kingdoms, crop-related etc.
City maps[edit source]
Maps of cities. See the featured image of Manila alongside for reference: rama nathapuram [1]
Topographical maps[edit source]
These maps depict the topography of a region. See User:Captain Blood/GMT Example for an example.
These maps show demographic information using colors.

City maps -
Topographical maps -
Thematic maps
for more and updated information about indian census or maps
Using locator maps[edit source]
Locator maps for cities are automatically added when the Infobox Indian Jurisdiction is used and latitude and logitude parameters are provided. If a locator map needs to be added to a section in an article, then use Location map template. Find below some examples.
Usage[edit source]
{{Location map|India
|label=label
|position=left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right
|background=color - background color for the label, defaults to none
|lat=latitude in degrees
|long=longitude in degrees
|mark=image file name - a red dot by default
|caption=caption - caption below the map
|float=left or right or none
|width=width of the map
}}
Examples[edit source]
{{Location map|India|float=none|label=Mumbai|lat=18.96|long=72.82|position=left}}
Mumbai
Mumbai (India)
{{Location map|India|float=left|width=100|label=Thiruvananthapuram|lat=8.5|long=76.9|caption=Thiruvananthapuram is the capital city of Kerala}}
{{Location map|India|float=right|label=Chennai|lat=13.09|long=80.27|background=white}}
Chennai
Chennai (India)
cvvcc
{{location map+|India|float=none|width=270|caption=Metropolitan cities of India|places=
{{location map~|India|label=[[Mumbai]]|position=right|lat=18.96|long=72.82}}
{{location map~|India|label=[[Chennai]]|position=right|lat=13.09|long=80.27}}
{{location map~|India|label=[[Delhi]]|position=left|lat=28.35|long=77.13}}
{{location map~|India|label=[[Kolkata]]|position=left|lat=22.33|long=88.20}}
{{Location map~|India|label=[[Bangalore]]|position=left|lat=12.58|long=77.35}}
{{Location map~|India|label=[[Hyderabad]]|position=bottom|lat=17.20|long=78.80}}
}}
Graphic Conventions[edit source]
Colours[edit source]
Please use the following colours recommended by WikiProject Maps. {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Locator maps (blank)}} {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Areas maps}}
Border styles[edit source]
| Style | Used for | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Thick line | Primary borders | Use a thick line for the primary (usually political) borders on a map. If the map primarily depicts a country, use a thick line for the country borders; if a state, the state borders. |
| Thin line | Secondary borders | Use a thin line (approximately 1/2 the thickness of the primary borders) for secondary boundaries. If a state map shows counties, use a thin line for county borders. |
| Italic font | Bodies of water | Use an italicized font for labelling bodies of water: oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. |
| All-caps font | Primary regions | Use a font in all-capital letters for labelling primary regions of interest: country names, state names, etc. |
| Mixed case font | Secondary regions | Use mixed case (capital followed by lowercase) for regions of secondary interest: provinces in a country map, counties in a state map, etc. |
Words-relate Conventions[edit source]
Typeface[edit source]
Use only Sans serif-type fonts in the maps.
| Scheme | Case | Font | Size | Tracking | Opacity | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Union territory | Normal | Bold | 30/24 | 0 | 35 | |
| National capital | UPPERCASE | Bold Italic | 24 | -25 | 100 | |
| Union territory capital | Normal | Italic | 24 | -25 | 100 | |
| State | UPPERCASE | Bold | 40/30 | 0 | 35 | |
| State capital | Normal | Regular | 24 | -25 | 100 | |
| Metro cities | UPPERCASE | Regular | 24 | -25 | 100 |
Cartographic conventions[edit source]
- 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
Uploading[edit source]
Format[edit source]
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.
Filenames[edit source]
TBD
Upload location[edit source]
- 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.
Licensing[edit source]
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).
Summary[edit source]
Please add the following information to summary while uploading.
{{Information
|Description=
|Source=
|Date=
|Author=
|Permission=
|other_versions=
}}
Legend[edit source]
Use the following template:
| Template syntax | Produces |
|---|---|
| {{Legend|#0000FF|Area where live [[Blue wale]].}} | Area where live Blue whale.
|
Software and tips[edit source]
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.
