Image map templates
Hello! Regarding today's edits, there are a couple of problems. Firstly, please read Help:Editing, in particular the section about template changes.
I can see the project you've started, which seems to be creating image maps for the different areas of the game. However, they are unfinished, and were created mostly in the Template namespace.
Creating an image map is relatively easy; using MS Paint, you can hover the cursor over any image to see the coordinates. Draw a rectangle or circle, then transfer those coordinates to css. So, I think the reason no one has undertaken the project of creating more image maps (including the original author of the one we have) is that they must also be created in the other 11 languages. This is just a guess, as the original author went inactive after implementing the one image map.
If you have any interest in extending the project, please comment back! In the meantime, I will be deleting the partially-finished work you've created, since it is really just the first steps to a project, it's created several redlinks, and it exists in the Template namespace. Thank you, margotbean (talk) 17:51, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- Hello! Ah sorry, making them there was a force of habit from another wiki I edit that uses Template:Sandbox/User:Foo and Module:Sandbox/User:Foo as template/module "userspace" files, my mistake for not catching that before I started. I'll give all of the rules a once over before I start working on it again.
- I'm not super worried about the multiple translations part. I've written up a handful of python scripts to automate some stuff like that before, so I'm thinking I could just compile a list of all the translated links and what changes are needed between the lang versions (i.e. [[Harvey's Clinic]] -> [[Harveys Klinik]](de), {{{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc}} -> {{Englishdoc}} etc. to easily just deploy every page across the lang wikis. I'll check the rules regarding automation/bot passwords before I get into doing all of that though.
- Regarding the red links, would you mind restoring that ActiveDevelopment page I made under my userspace please? Once you do, I can go through and remove all of those redlinks; I just find it easier to keep everything on one of my pages so that I don't need to try and track everything in a separate file on my PC which can easily get mixed up. It also gives me an easy place to track what changes/features are on what pages so that others can very easily see the status of a feature I'm working on by looking at the "changes" column beside the page. (if you'd like, you can take a look at a page with the same name on the OSRS wiki under the same username for what I intend it to look like as I work on more things). If not, that's cool, I understand.
- In any case, I do intend to expand the existing map stuff to most of the other relevant map locations. I did also plan to add links to each of the entrances/exits in an area to easily "travel" between each section as well. Please do let me know if you have any suggestions/issues with anything!
