Revision as of 18:11, 25 July 2014
Forums: Index > Wiki discussion > New maps
Ah, it seems that Wikia has made a new feature called Maps. In short, one needs to upload an image and pin to that image a short description. Naturally, the images must be *huge* to have the best result.
Anyway, I believe this might be a good feature. In future, we don't need to edit the image in photoshop or similar programs, when we can just pin it in. Besides, the knowledge of coding the maps the old way may be lost to us...
What do you think, should these new maps be included here? Energy X 17:32, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
- I am adding this feature today. Please see my latest forum, where I will be writing a guide on how to use them, and their possible applications.

- Yep, we can do that. We just turn it on in the WikiFeatures. As far as I know now, the maps need to be created on maps.wikia.com and then we ask Wikia to move such a map to our wiki. I don't expect it to be used much though, as someone (me probably) would need to spend a lot of time on a map, as it needs a lot of quality and TLC. Jspoel

- It is going to be amazing for blog-use. I know when I start up my P&P idea again, these maps are going to help tremendously. Some Assembly Required! 17:38, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Well, this work can be given to those that don't have any work currently here (like me), then have it reviewed by others. Energy X 17:39, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

What could it possibly be used for? I don't see how it could have that much use. Leea (talk) 17:53, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Not very imaginative. :P A great example would be in that we could have a map article that covers each location in a game. You click on the locations, and it sends you to their respective articles. Would be an incredibly easy system for finding location articles (not to mention we can add other waypoints, such as for unique weapons, which would allow our viewers to figure out easily where all unique weapons are).
