Template/category name suggestion[edit]

Hi. The templates I've looked at in this category look like a great idea, but they are more than just "labelled maps"; I'd say they're "clickable-label" maps, or perhaps the shorter "click-label maps". (This kind of name also avoids the difference between the Commonwealth and US spelling of "label[l]ed" and is sentenced-cased per Wikipedia's norm.). Suggest, therefore, that these templates renamed "X clickable-label map" or "X click-label map" and the category "Clickable-label map templates" or "Click-label map templates". If needs be, I could contribute to the renaming via AWB. Sardanaphalus (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since it seems that this category contains only geographic maps I suggest removing "image" from the category name since that indicates non-geographic images too. I like your idea of Category:Clickable-label maps.
Also, please check out commons:Commons:Image map resources. --Timeshifter (talk) 03:16, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your support and for pointing out that, yes, "image" isn't needed in the names (or could be misleading). commons:Commons:Image map resources looks intriguing, although I think I'd stick with the term "clickable-label" or "click-label" as any map/image is clickable overall. (I think I'm beginning to prefer the snappier "click-label".) I'll wait a while before taking any action, especially for any response here as User:Zondor seems to be or have been closely involved with these maps.
