Maps are useful in presenting key facts within a geographical context and enabling a descriptive overview of a complex concept to be accessed easily and quickly. WikiProject Maps encourages the creation of free maps and their upload on Wikimedia Commons. On the project's pages can be found advice, tools, links to resources, and map conventions.
The project suggests some web-friendly map conventions that may help to make maps more readable. The suggested conventions are free for graphists to adapt to their specific needs. Graphists who are unsure of an appropriate style, colour, or style of labelling, may find these suggestions helpful.
