Design Guidelines are based on → location map design of the German map shop. Thus they also follow the widespread locator maps design (→ SVG locator maps (location map scheme)). Their design principles (→ design guidelines) continue to be a basis for derived administrative maps. It's recommended to take one of the latter locator maps as a basis, to derive new administrative maps. Textstyle is supposed to follow the styles presented in the template SVG-file above. Colors should be directly picked from the maps shown below. Please be aware that this guide is only a recommendation. It's not an inevitable law!
EXAMPLES
Poland, simple color scheme, language-neutral labels
Denmark, colored
with detailed mini map
markers for small remote territories
zoom in order to show details of tiny remote territories
inlay maps for remote areas
area codes
intercontinental state
EU + overseas territories
1st and 2nd-tier divisions in one map
for crazy distributed and hard to see insular areas
This file is translated using SVG <switch> elements. All translations are stored in the same file! Learn more.
For most Wikipedia projects, you can embed the file normally (without a lang parameter). The Wikipedia will use its language if the SVG file supports that language. For example, the German Wikipedia will use German if the SVG file has German. To embed this file in a particular language use the lang parameter with the appropriate language code, e.g. [[File:Brandenburg, administrative divisions - de - colored.svg|lang=en]] for the English version. Do not specify a lang parameter if it is not needed. The parameter may prevent the use of a subsequent translation.
To translate the text into your language, you can use the SVG Translate tool. Alternatively, you can download the file to your computer, add your translations using whatever software you're familiar with, and re-upload it with the same name. You will find help in Graphics Lab if you're not sure how to do this.
