It's only taken me about four or five years to think of asking this question, but... rather than us creating new maps for all of the planet articles from the published maps, if I gave you the updated list of correct coordinates, could you respawn new map images the way you did when first creating the planet articles?

: Absolutely! With the X/Y fixed this time :) Do you currently have a better list of images and X/Ys? In addition, I could create "expanded" images, so when you click on a 2-jump image, it could grow out to 5 jumps, or more.

Image summary template
Hi Nic, why is the image summary template gone when i uploade new images? In the past the template was automatical shown on the uploade page!--Doneve (talk) 04:29, 17 June 2016 (PDT)
- I've noticed this as well; I originally thought it was only removed from the "upload new version" option but it seems that all forms of file uploading do that now. -BobTheZombie (talk) 13:00, 17 June 2016 (PDT)

Planet Maps
Hi Nic,
It's only taken me about four or five years to think of asking this question, but... rather than us creating new maps for all of the planet articles from the published maps, if I gave you the updated list of correct coordinates, could you respawn new map images the way you did when first creating the planet articles?

- Absolutely! With the X/Y fixed this time :) Do you currently have a better list of images and X/Ys? In addition, I could create "expanded" images, so when you click on a 2-jump image, it could grow out to 5 jumps, or more. Nicjansma (talk) 20:53, 30 March 2017 (EDT)
- Cool! But if this is going to happen, we need a solid database to work from. Not only X/Y coordinates (which in and of itself could be problematic enough!), but we need to decide on which system name we want to display on the maps (e.g. Hesperus II or Hesperus? Klathandu or Klathan? Norn or Verthandi? Carver, Carver V or Liberty?) and we'd also need to adress the question how to deal with the individual Mica Majority planets, nebulae, or special cases like Flannagan's Nebula.
- I guess we're all aware of user gruese's map project thread over at the HBS forum? There's some notes and corrections concerning the Sarna data in there that I've not yet come round to checking and working into Sarna.
- And while it's a long shot, we might just try and ask Øystein Tvedten if he would kindly offer his "official" system position database for our project. I'm not sure if he and CGL would be cool with that, but it's certainly worth a try to see if a miracle happens. Frabby (talk) 05:30, 31 March 2017 (EDT)
