Aim – This project aims to draw hi-resolution, vector maps for India-related articles. It also aims to get hi-resolution raster (.png) topography images. mastan
Scope – NPOV maps related to India (post-1947) and historical pre-Independence India (includes the South Asian nations of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan). The secondary goal would be to get NPOV maps for Pakistan, PRC, Afghanistan and Bhutan since they border disputed territories of India.

Using locator maps
[вироиши манбаъ]Locator maps for cities are automatically added when the Infobox Indian Jurisdiction is used and latitude and logitude parameters are provided. If a locator map needs to be added to a section in an article, then use Location map template. Find below some examples.
Usage
[вироиши манбаъ]{{Location map|India |label=label |position=left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right |background=color - background color for the label, defaults to none |lat=latitude in degrees |long=longitude in degrees |mark=image file name - a red dot by default |caption=caption - caption below the map |float=left or right or none |width=width of the map }}
Examples
[вироиши манбаъ]{{Location map|India|float=none|label=Mumbai|lat=18.96|long=72.82|position=left}}
{{Location map|India|float=left|width=100|label=Thiruvananthapuram|lat=8.5|long=76.9|caption=Thiruvananthapuram is the capital city of Kerala}}

Italic font | Bodies of water | Use an italicized font for labelling bodies of water: oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. |
All-caps font | Primary regions | Use a font in all-capital letters for labelling primary regions of interest: country names, state names, etc. |
Mixed case font | Secondary regions | Use mixed case (capital followed by lowercase) for regions of secondary interest: provinces in a country map, counties in a state map, etc. |

Uploading
[вироиши манбаъ]Format
[вироиши манбаъ]All maps should be drawn SVG format. SVG is a vector format that allows upscaling without pixellation. It also allows users to download and modify the map to make derivatives. Please do not use the following raster formats: .png, .gif and .jpg for maps. For topographical maps, use .png.
Filenames
[вироиши манбаъ]TBD
Upload location
[вироиши манбаъ]- If the map contains no text, upload it to commons:
- If text is needed to be added to the map, please make two versions: One, a blank map without text, and the other with text. Upload the blank map to commons, and the one with English text here on en wiki.
Licencing
[вироиши манбаъ]Only images with a licence that allows commercial usage and allows derivatives to be made may be uploaded to wikipedia. The following licences qualify:
- PD (Public domain) – user releases all rights to the image

Software and tips
[вироиши манбаъ]Two popular SVG drawing software available are Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator. Inkscape is free and available for many platforms.
- Draw images in the highest resolution possible.
- For text please use a generic font such as Serif, Sans-serif. Sans is more suited for maps. The wikimedia renderer rasterises all fonts using Arial, so use Arial regular to maintain appearance of the map.
- In inkscape make sure that you unflow the text
- Ensure that no embedded raster images are present
- Always add metadata. In Inkscape, metadata can be added in the Document Preferences.
