"24 February 2022 - Present" edit

In the future can the maps list the actual date rather than "present"? 2601:1C0:5880:6D0:6DFC:9616:7D09:A44B (talk) 00:40, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

No, because not everybody will bother changing it. Dawsongfg (talk) 17:08, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
What does this even mean? 2601:1C0:5880:6D0:D839:6C82:4145:CD86 (talk) 03:23, 10 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
As the date is set in the file, it would have to be manually updated by every user. This is something that is easy to forget, and would lead to there being maps with the wrong date.
As a general rule it's better to have less data, than to have wrong data. Julian Silden Langlo (talk) 18:31, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Adding years to the dates? edit

As this conflict is unfortunately almost a year old, it seems that adding years to the dates on the map is necessary. I'm not experienced with this kind of task, so I am just putting this idea forward, in the hopes that someone else will be able to help. ERBuermann (talk) 18:33, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, years should be added ASAP. Otherwise it will get less and less clear when what happend, especially after territories change control multiple times. Kwinzman (talk) 07:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Just to give an update: Apparently it is already beeing worked on and solved, in Wikipedia commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File_talk:2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine.svg&oldid=741509577#Dates Newer dates starting with 1st of January 2023 already have the year in the SVG. Additionally a lot of attention is paid to getting the date translations right. Very interesting IMHO. Kwinzman (talk) 05:42, 1 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Territorial changes highlighting in the Map edit

Would it be possible to remove the many arrows that show movements that are already many weeks old. It is hard to make out the delta with the previous map, respectively. Maybe territory gained or lost since the previous map could be colored differently? ♆ CUSH ♆ 11:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Why not use a different color for the regained territories by Ukraine? It's hard to tell apart the blue color. It looks like the water areas. 46.121.212.234 (talk) 14:43, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
