Some maps in response to the Rfc listed at Talk:Anatolia#RfC_about_infobox_map.

These are created with Kartographer, and are dynamic, interactive maps. Of particular interest is the last one, which interacts with some work somebody did at OpenStreetMap to create a border for "Central Anatolia". That open-source OSM page is here. The last map is created by a <mapframe> just like the first three, except this one is linked through Wikidata item d:Q155526, which means the Kartographer extension interprets the mapframe and picks up the lat/long identifier and any border or shading from OSM, and displays it. We could do the same thing for Anatolia, by creating something on OSM. There is already a Wikidata item for Anatolia, d:Q51614, so if someone creates an OSM map for Anatolia, using whatever border the consensus decides on, then we can the wikidata id to the OSM map, and then map it at the article showing our desired border. I haven't created one of these OSM maps yet, so not sure how much work is involved, but obviously everybody is doing it over there, so there must be a way.

Hmm... There's some sort of weird issue with the fourth map; it looks fine in Preview, at least some of the time anyway, but then when you Save the page, it jumps to a map centered on Algeria. Weird. I've opened a discussion about this at the mediawiki Kartographer discussion page (Permalink).

Four: This only highlights central Anatolia, but you can create a trace at OpenStreetMap for Anatolia, and then link it through wikidata item d:Q51614 and display it here

BUG??

The last map is not working, although it sometimes does, if you edit and hit "Preview" a bunch of times. See discussion at Mediawiki mw:Help talk:Extension:Kartographer (Permalink). This is working now, thanks to suggestion by Evad37 (talk · contribs) at Mediawiki mw:Help talk:Extension:Kartographer. This was bug T193455.

To clarify for Anatolia RFC folks: for the Rfc, I realize we aren't interested in and don't want a map of "Central Anatolia" but that's not the point. I just used Central Anatolia as an illustration, because somebody already created one for that on OSM, so it kind of points the way. The point is (assuming we fix the bug, here) is that if we can show a map of Turkey with Central Anatolia shaded based on an OSM map, then we can do that showing any shading pattern that we want. We create our own Anatolia map on OSM, shade what we want, then link that to the Wikidata item for Anatolia, and display it at the article using a <mapframe>. But first things, first: let's see why this last map doesn't show a shaded map of Turkey with just Central Anatolia shaded.
