I don't know if this is possible, but one feature I'd particularly
like to see in Wikipedia is parametrized SVG rendering. For example,
when illustrating location of each one of the 210 Slovenian
municipalities, it would be cool if (a) you could only have one file
with map template, and (b) then specify
"[[Image:Obcine_Slovenija_2006.svg|mark_tag="Trbovlje"|color=red]]"
or something like that to get this result:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Obcine_Slovenija_2006_Trbovlje.svg
In a present situation, I have to slightly modify the master SVG
file and upload 210 two-megabyte files, which is not amusing. Every
few years municipality borders get changed, so we have to upload 210+
two-megabyte files yet again.
Is this possible at all?
In theory. :) There's a few feature requests sitting around in various
variants:
