==Welcome 2nd time==
Ok, I got it. So welcome aboard this wikipedia. We are happy about everybody who comes up and contributes! Now you did that nice Afrikamap which I like! But as a template it cuts the text and leaves a gap. What about inserting it as an image so that text can float around it? Or is there a way to do that with a template, too? And as you are good at these maps: what about another one for the continents (bara) except Asia which is not yet edited? Karibu sana (welcome) --[[User:Kipala|Kipala]] 16:54, 14 Desemba 2006 (UTC)
 
:Thanks! I found this clickable map thing on English wikipedia, and I checked it out on all other languages - as far as I could tell, nobody else was doing this yet. Not French, German, Japanese - only English. It seemed like a simple matter to copy the templates and translate the names from another wiki, so now I have added this 'latest technology' to a few of the smaller wikis even before it hits the big ones! I have added labelled maps for Africa and / or Europe now to: Amharic (where I am an admin), then here, Haitian Creole, Anglo-Saxon, and just now Kernewek! I'm having so much fun I can't stop! It only takes me about an hour to set it up, and translate the geographical terms from looking them up on the language wiki. Now that I have imported the basic templates, any such map can be copied from another wiki; there is a list of such maps at: [[:en:User:Zondor/Labelled Map Documentation]]. The folks who did the really hard work with the coordinates etc deserve the most credit! I don't really know that much about templates, I just know how to cut and paste! But anyone here can try to improve them and adapt them, by all means! I can try to improve the placement of the Afrika map, I know it could be better.
