  • Comments: Hi! Please update the existing map and KML files to reflect the highway's extension up to the US 95/NV 157 interchange in Northwest Las Vegas. Thank you! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 01:34, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
It should be noted that the extension of I-11 has not yet been completely signed in the field (there's a one-off sign on I-515, and some overhead sign replacements on southbound I-15 show I-11 instead of I-515, but widespread sign changes are not yet in place); NDOT plans to change the signage over in 2024. So a revised map should not be added to the article yet. LJ  00:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Therefore this is {{not done}} for now until the official signage occurs. ~ Sandy14156 (Talk ✉️) 19:01, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Comments: Per this source (page 17-18), I-74 will meet with NC 211 at the border with Columbus and Brunswick Counties. The Interstate will then follow Hickman Road to the SC border along the future extension of the Carolina Bays Parkway (map provided on both pages of the PDF document). Thanks and have a good day!

Also, after the map was fixed due to some glitches, a small section of map data was removed near Exit 196 on I-40 and near Exit 56 on the current route for I-74. A small concurrency with Interstate 40 was also added to the map which I don't believe exists. How it originally looked can been seen on Data:Interstate 74 in North Carolina.map southeast of Winston-Salem. If that section could be fixed as well, that would be great. Thank you for your time and have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 23:06, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

  • Comments: While the western portion of the map was traced using a road map overlay, the eastern section was not. I was able to manually add a few point to the map, but it lacks in quality compared to the western portion. If someone could trace that section, I would greatly appreciate it. A map of the bypass can be found on the NCDOT's STIP Map, though it requires you zoom to the project. If that doesn't work as a source, I found this image which shows the eastern half of the bypass.

  • KML: Yes
  • Comments: The map does not load. This is my first KML file, so I am not fully familiar with the file format.Speed doesn't always mean quality 400Weir (talk)
    • @400Weir: the KML isn't sufficient on its own to create the map in an infobox. It needs to be converted to a GeoJSON file for {{maplink-road}} to work. I'm not sure if {{infobox street}} supports that style of map. {{Infobox road}} is the wrong infobox for that roadway because it's not a state highway. That article also falls outside of the scope of this project. Please note, due to wiki politics, much of this project's activity is winding down as the membership moves over to the AARoads Wiki.

    Understood, I'll make the necessary corrections. Thank you. Speed doesn't always mean quality 400Weir (talk) 16:56, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
    Adding just {{maplink-road}} to the infobox won't call up a map on its own unless an OpenStreetMap relation is included in the Wikidata entry for the article. Otherwise, you need to add the name of the GeoJSON file to the template to get it to draw the line on the base map. Imzadi 1979  03:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
    @400Weir: This. Whenever you use the {{maplink-road}} template, you need to use the |from= parameter to specify which Commons map file the template will call from. The format should be [name of Commons map file].map, excluding the "Data:" in front. In your case, your code should be {{maplink-road|from=Northern Parkway (Baltimore).map}}. I've gone ahead and made the fix here. Don't let this kind of thing discourage you from editing! Wikipedia is all about trial and error, and sometimes we just need a bit of help from other editors. All that being said, I'll mark this as {{done}} so this request gets archived. Don't be afraid to ask for help again, and take care! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 11:09, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Comments: SH 86 needs its map corrected in the Castle Rock area. SH 86 actually runs along Founders Parkway from I-25 to 5th street. Existing map shows it running on Wilcox and 5th which may have been an old alignment before Founders Parkway was built. Thanks! Dylpickle2k (talk) 00:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
    @Dylpickle2k: Already {{done}}. I just swapped out the outdated Wikipedia KML map file with that of the Commons map file, which was created almost a year ago and is up-to-date. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 10:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
