Colonial flags of Mauritius, 1869-1906

 * Article(s):
 * Flag of Mauritius, Governor of British Mauritius


 * Request:
 * Would someone please redraw the above 1869-1906 Mauritian flag as SVG (the motto on the scroll beneath the arms is supposed to read "STELLA CLAVISQUE MARIS INDICI" in case it's not clear enough). And, if possible, could an SVG version of the 1869-1906 flag used by the Governor of Mauritius (as seen here), be created as well, which could be done by placing the arms from the other flag within the centre of the blank British Governor's flag provided above.

Church comparison sizes

 * Article(s):
 * Vale Royal Abbey


 * Request:
 * Is it possible to have a tidy SVG version of these to churches? The scale is provided in meters (actually, feet is also available, but that might complicate things!) Possibly 's excellent image of the abbey could be used, as it's well accurate. Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Cheers, ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:13, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Do you want this file commons:file:Layout Of Westminster Abby.svg for Westminister or do you want a new one? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:17, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Discussion:
 * Well, nice one, cheers! I don't really mind tbh—the only thing I'd ask is that in the final piece, the two abbeys are in the same style. You see, whereas in that last one you did, the detail was important, they're less so here—the important thing is the scale, and perhaps too much detail would be a distraction from that? ——  SerialNumber  54129  17:41, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Draft to check. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:03, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

That's really great :) just a couple of points if you don't mind?
 * Is their a reason that Westminster's walls are thinner than Vale Royal's?
 * Since there are no door entrances on the VR image, should they be "closed off" on the Westminster one too?
 * And, since the article gives lengths in both feen an metres, should the image provide both too?Sorry, again, if this complicates things! But that's exactly the kind of thing I was after, cheers! ——  SerialNumber  54129  18:13, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The thickness of the walls came from the original illustrations I used so I didn't have to do them all over again; my own and commons:file:Layout_Of_Westminster_Abby.svg. I have now changed the major walls of W according to VR but then I also had to guess/change the support things sticking out. Also the upper part of them both has thinner walls.
 * Closed
 * Then I would be happy if you could provide me with the lengths for both, meter and feet, thanks. I will wait with a new draft until I have the lengths.--Goran tek-en (talk) 15:48, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Right! Sorry to mess you around. The source says, specifically, that it was 116 metres (381 ft) long—can you do anything with that? ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:01, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks do you have for VR also, really need it?
 * If 116 m is correct then the scale on the image you provided totally of. Which should I go by, the image or 116 m? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:19, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * okay— say, Vale Royal @116 metres (381 ft), and Westminster (acc. ), 162 m (530 ft)? ——  SerialNumber  54129  08:05, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Draft_2 to check. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Brilliant! I like how the scales match up :)  if there's one tiny thing, it's that the text "Vale Royal" seems slightly offset to the right of the church, compared to Westminster, which is centred? It's hardly a major problem though. This is fantastic stuff, again. Thanks very much!  ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:56, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Request:
 * Please make a version of the graph in Figure 1A on page 402 here without the drawings of bugs. It's okay to simply erase them from the original. Thanks in advance.

 * Since non-free media is not supposed to be of a high resolution anyways, you might as well upload a scaled-down version of the original JPG. I don't believe that an improved SVG is desirable here. TilmannR (talk) 22:01, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Per TilmannR, consider uploading this PNG (scaled down) until an official SVG is released by Tokyo 2020. Pbroks13 (talk) 22:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * We can just wait til they release it then we replace that draft SVG that I uploaded. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 00:40, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Clickable svg

 * Article(s):
 * Periodic table


 * Request:
 * Could the table cells (=chemical elements) be made clickable? So cell #1 H links to Hydrogen. There are 118 elements in there.
 * Also those column & row numbers have a target article: top row = Group (periodic table) (1–18, ); lefthand column = Period (periodic table) (1–7).
 * (Or if one can link to a how-to, I could edit it myself). -DePiep (talk) 18:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Discussion:
 * While it is possible to embed clickable text in an SVG, with some limitations, that's not going to help you even if it was feasible to do, because Mediawiki doesn't render SVGs in articles, it generates png images from SVGs and renders them. What you might be able to do is create a template with an actual table (wikitable) formatted to look like the image, and then any text could link wherever you liked. I'm not sure how closely you could make the table 'mirror' the image, and the formatting would be a lot of work, but theoretically it's an option. -- Begoon 06:51, 26 March 2019 (UTC)


 * If using a wikitable is acceptable, then instead of creating a table from scratch you could make a copy of Periodic table and replace element cell-named with your own element cell template. There's also Extension:ImageMap, which apparently allows you to add clickable areas of arbitrary shape to an image. I haven't used ImageMaps before, but adding hundreds of clickable areas seems like it would be more work than modifying one of the existing table templates. TilmannR (talk) 12:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Good spot on Periodic table, I missed that it already exists. That could certainly be helpful. -- Begoon 12:45, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks to you both. So svg in wp is a png, that's clear then. Periodic table is already clickable (we at WP:ELEMENTS have made multiple useful variants this way). As for using mw:Extension:ImageMap, someone already developed PeriodicTable-ImageMap atop an image: the goal. It's just having to changing the bg image (1x/year?) that I wanted to prevent, also in would be great for iw's (other wikis use many of enwiki images's; kills two birds). One tip in return: http://imagemap-generator.dariodomi.de/ seems to be able to return the required grid numbers for Extension:ImageMap :-)
 * -DePiep (talk) 07:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, Mediawiki generates png thumbnails of SVG images because, historically, not all browsers were capable of displaying svg native images. There is often talk of changing that now that browser support is more consistent, but as yet the change has not been made. -- Begoon 07:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

 * These are bunch of SVGs that are no more than blurry (MS Office drawing?) rasters embedded onto a paper-size canvas. I vectorized File:Polymerase cl protien.svg (similar to Polymerase ON.svg) but well I hated it. uk:Фаг лямбда has some beautiful SVGs, so consider translation + replacement too if it's easier.-- Artoria2e5 🌉 16:06, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
