The RuneScape Wiki has been using maps like these for quite some time now, only they are made through Photoshop using imagemapping code. I enabled the Maps extension on my test wiki, and I've noticed too many issues before even being able to fully create a map. ._.

1. Why are we forced to make the map a "template" for others to use? Here is a list of the maps we've made through Photoshop, and these are only the documented ones. We have a Maps namespace enabled just for our area maps. Other wikis and other people on our wiki are not going to need these templates - our maps would be personalized for our wiki for a one-time-use kind of thing. Forcing us to make them into globalized templates is useless.

2. Cannot use preexisting map images.

3. 2000 x 2000?? The map I tested with was less than 400 x 400. It was completely blown up for being too small. What is the minimum without losing resolution? Edit: Tested an even smaller map that was cropped to it's regular proportions. Apparently it's too small to even be registered in the system.

4. The map pins we currently use through Photoshop are 25 x 25. We cannot use 60 x 60 - that's half the size of the map currently I'm working with. Unfortunately it won't let me upload anything under 60 x 60..?
