Static map

I finally uploaded a static map that I created. Generally I tried to do the upload the same way as your map for North Dakota but I wanted you to check to make sure everything looked right.

I have also requested a name change, but you get the general idea. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 16:46, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

@SelfieCity: Hiya! The map you've uploaded isn't bad for one of your first. A few pointers though:

• The scale is hard to tell by looking at the map. At first I thought that Pleasanton was just a small town, but actually fetching the article proved me otherwise. Adding to this, the fact that all the roads are given in white with black annotations gives the idea at first that all roads are just regular streets. On my North Dakota map I differentiated the Interstates in red, major US routes in orange and minor US routes in yellow. After this would come all other roads. For comparison, see my Oklahoma City map.
• The roads look a little rough around the edges. If you haven't yet, get familiar with the click and drag functionalities of the bezier tool (assuming you're using Inkscape, some tutorials can be found here). It's pretty easy when you get used to it, but in a nutshell, it lets you add smooth curves to the lines, which looks much better in the end than approximating the roads' curvature by clicking along the path of a road.
• Lastly, be sure to use the style standards given in the region and district/city map templates. Here you'll find the iconography you'll need, including but not limited to a scale bar, the north indicator and title box.

Other than that, the map as-is now is perfectly usable and acceptable as such, but there's still (as is with anything) improvements to be made :)

Thanks! I agree. I see what you mean about the levels of types of roads, and I'll try to get that fixed at some point. In a discussion in the pub editors said they preferred the dynamic map currently, since there weren't enough POIs on this map. Since I've recently decided to cut down on contributions (as in adding paragraphs of text to articles, etc.) and instead focus more on administrative work, I may actually have more time to work on this static map.

PS: A closer look may reveal that I did have different widths for roads according to importance. But color differences would be useful, agreed. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 17:38, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Panama City Metro rint template

Hi. I wanted to add Panama City Metro to the rint template, but obviously something is missing or went wrong. Can you help me fix this? Hobbitschuster (talk) 17:35, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

 1   2  {{rint|panamacity|2}}

@Hobbitschuster: There you go! The only problem was that you specified the string for the first parameter as Panama City, this string has to contain all lower case letters though, and ideally is one string. I switched it to panamacity for that reason.
