HELP ABOUT MAP TEMPLATE

@CubanoBoi Hi, can you please write a document about how to add such amazing maps on places about Malawi or any, as the way you do. I tried and I admit, I failed. Writing steps will help alot for reference. Gracias :) Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 15:29, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Also if I know how to, I could do the other stubs since there are thousands of them. Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 15:30, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@Tumbuka Arch which maps are you referring? CubanoBoi 15:35, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Like what you did on this page. Please write steps in Spanish or English, I will translate in Tumbuka using translator, if you don't have time to translate. Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 15:37, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Just add
| pushpin_map = Malawi#Northern Region#Chitipa
or whatever country/province it is and add the coordinates onto wikidata. If you want the maps that I created of Chitipa I can create a tutorial for that. Also the pink ones are outdated so we need to update them. But the steps to create it is:

1. Download IbisPaint on your phone
2. go on https://www.demarcation.mec.org.mw/?mapview=Rumphi
3. replace the “Rumphi” on the search to any other district
4. screenshot the map
5. go on IbisPaint
6. click the “My Gallery” button
7. click the + on the bottom-left corner
8. select the screenshoted map
9. click the 3 squares with the number “1” on it
10. click the “+” to add a new layer
11. trace the District, Ward, and TA boundary on the new layer
12. go back to the 3 squares (should be a “2” and not a “1” on the squares) and click the eye on the original layer
13. left the arrow on the bottom right
14. press “Save as PNG” (not transparent)
15. upload that saved image onto either Commons or this wiki

This is what I did for the up to date File:Mapu ya Boma la Rumphi.png, also I recommend to make the Ward and the TA boundaries smaller then the District ones. CubanoBoi 15:52, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Muchas gracias. Y por favor intente renovar su administración aquí en este wiki. Esto es útil cuando desea eliminar y mover páginas sin dejar redireccionamientos, además de proteger páginas, importar plantillas tediosas, etc. responder a sus mensajes de conversación. Te estás rindiendo con este wiki pero, literalmente, tú y yo hemos construido este wiki juntos. No habría ido muy lejos si estuviera solo. Gracias. Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 15:54, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@Tumbuka Arch I did try to renew on the community thing CubanoBoi 15:55, 4 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi Can you please create a tutorial. It will be great to easily understand it. Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 04:49, 5 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

@CubanoBoi What I am asking is how you add Wikidata details of map, which shows here on these places. Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 04:52, 5 Julayi 2023 (UTC)

Ohh, I get the coordinates from OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, or GeoNames and copy and paste into “coordinates” onto wikidata CubanoBoi 20:09, 5 Julayi 2023 (UTC)
