Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Granville, New South Wales did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Question

What are you doing with the map on the Wales article? Lickey D-Man Tarr Dah (talk) 02:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What Wales article? 153.107.26.53 (talk) 03:07, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lickey D-Man Tarr Dah I have the same question. They've made mass updates. Do you know what they have done? I am tempted to do a mass rollback of all these edits, but am cautious of undoing constructive edits. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just fixing the maps on articles about suburbs in Sydney. Sydney is in New South Wales.

Basically they have OpenStreetMap maps on them but some of them use the wrong format. These edits are constructive and should not be reverted. 153.107.26.53 (talk) 04:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 05:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. 153.107.26.53 (talk) 00:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that's what your edits are doing? I looked at Special:PermaLink/1231389813(after your change) and Special:PermaLink/1179437811(before your change) and the map after your change has no labels anymore... what was even wrong with the before version? – 2804:F1...A9:64C1 (talk) 01:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The frame doesn't need to be there. If you want labels you can click on the map. We have a parameter for local maps, so they don't need to take up the second image parameter. 153.107.26.53 (talk) 01:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough (I don't really have experience with maps, sorry) - though what got rid of the labels is you changing the zoom from 13 to 12, what was wrong with the closer zoom? – 2804:F1...A9:64C1 (talk) 01:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing wrong really but I think it gives a clearer shape. If a suburb is too small to see with the 12 zoom I change it to 13 and if it's too big then I change it to 10, and so on. 153.107.26.53 (talk) 01:16, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
