Conventions for visa policy maps

Hello, WP:MAPS. I am currently working on the visa policy of Nauru, and I was wondering if there was any conventions on the colors would be? It seems like the other visa policy articles have a lot of different colors, and I just wanted to be correct.

It's been nearly a decade and you still can't enlarge dots with the image

This continues to be one of the most frustrating aspects of using maps on Wikipedia. Is it really too difficult to modify Wikipedia formatting to enlarge the landmark dots with the image when clicked? 192.133.249.86 (talk) 21:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
