- Jocobullus ” MOS:COLOR …. doesn’t really try to make itself applicable to graphical content like images or maps. Its focus is on content consisting of primarily text, e.g. in lists, tables, image captions, warning banners, or the like…. it isn’t an adequate replacement for serious resources on this topic”
- UC “… the MoS is only ever a guideline, so maps which use colour to convey information aren’t strictly verboten, but we acknowledge that, in theory, it’s better if some other supporting method can be used, or at least best not to use pairs of colours that are commonly the subject of vision problems (e.g. red and green) where they can be easily confused.”
- Kusma “… (if the MOS says every map needs to be colourblind accessible we will have people going around to remove all others). Maps are extremely helpful to understand many articles. If there is a high quality map that violates the accessibility guideline, we should include it in the article because it helps many of our readers”
- Noleander: “… add text or a footnote to MOS:COLOR that clarifies that the color guidelines are recommended as an aspirational goal for maps; but may be waived if there is a valid reason.”
- Jocobullus “… more useful than trying to force any kind of universal requirements (or e.g. blocking articles from being featured if the images have issues) would be to have a place where image authors could consult some more experienced Wikipedians who have thought about these aspects of design and offer advice,”
- Jocobulus: “People should try to do the best they can within available constraints, and most of the criteria involved should not be interpreted in a black-and-white fashion.”
- Noleander “… within MOS:COLOR [add] ‘Applying these color guidelines to maps is recommended, but they should be balanced with other cartographic goals and constraints.'”
- BlueBoar: “… every MOS page starts with a disclaimer that says “exceptions may apply”. A map depicting a complicated situation can probably be justified as one of those “exceptions”
- Chiswick Chap “: add a guideline that use of colour on maps and diagrams should be redundant with a different cue, such as text labels, tone (black/grey/white), type of shading, etc. So, you don’t just colour an area blue, you label or mark it as well.
Examples of confusigno surroundgin MOS:COLOR as applied to maps
[edit]
- MOST idssues from REdirect “What links here” are tables or graphs, not maps:
- From MOS:COLOR “what links here”
