Topic on Help talk:Extension:Kartographer/Icons

Hi - I'm not sure about the technical feasibility of this, but can more icons be added or changed? My input:

• The school icon should resemble common school icons (more easily identifiable)
• The church icon should resemble common church icons (more easily identifiable)

• The synagogue icon should resemble common synagogue icons (more easily identifiable)
• The library icon would look better if it incorporated a building and a book/books, see two of these
• There are no icons for hotels, bridges, apartment/office buildings/skyscrapers, fire stations? Definitely more prominent to be used on Wikipedia maps than about half of these!

Thanks

We are currently pinned to an older version of the maki icons. Mostly because there has been no real definition of what icon names should be supported (perpetually) and because there isn't a dedicated team working on maps.

Okay but does that prevent anyone with the technical ability from seeing these suggestions and implementing any?

who would be these magical people ? :D

One can hope. Someone was evidently capable of creating most of this, so I'll hope someone qualified reads it before it gets archived...

I suppose updating these icons to the current Maki icons would solve some, but not all of these. I posted to GitHub for the rest...

I posted to the Maki forum with more details, even if it looks like this won't be updated. See https://github.com/mapbox/maki/issues/483

This also really needs icons for elevators and stairs, for articles like the High Line.

It would also be great if the icons could be directly shown, rather than inside the 3D placemark thing. I'd like to simply have a 2D circle/spot on the map, rather than a 3D placemark with whatever icon in it...

It's upsetting we have icons for 'mobile phone', 'wastebasket', 'ricket', 'scooter', and 'pharmacy', things that I don't see used on Wikipedia or really any wiki spaces, while we don't have the immensely, immediately useful 'bridge' or 'skyscraper'...

And done.. thanks to WMDE

Awesome. I think this solves most of my presented issues.
