As a heads up, the links for all the Ancient and Classical maps on the Wiki page up to 250 BCE are broken, as is the "editable template". Anyone have these files?

I'm legitimately surprised nobody asked for a patch of this here, it'd be important if anyone makes a 1789 map
I actually did this because a friend requested a patch, just not on this thread lol.
Thinking about this, maybe we could have a small patches repository for stuff like this when we don't have a full world map, so that we don't lose it
there's a few that are threadmarked and several more scattered throughout this thread, so that could be a start
I actually have a folder with a couple hundred patches somewhere.
I haven't updated the wiki in forever; I slightly reformated the links to some of the maps a while back and didn't update them on the wiki. The links in the main post of this thread should work.
Correct; I'll threadmark this, but I don't want to add a link on the main thread post to avoid confusion. Keeping things consistent to Jan 1 avoids a lot of ambiguity in maps.
Its like some parts are correct and others are utterly wrong in both maps (its a bit disconcerting)
EDIT: Also, here's my attempt at editing the 1200 AD map using mainly videos off from youtube and maps from the internet as a source for borders

Here is a small patch for Chile in 1756. I took my sources mainly from this map on the Spanish Wikipedia, went through some sources and went through the websites of the municipalities (Comunas) that were places like the Fortress-"City" of Valdivia of the time, currently the city of Valdivia, and the Fortress of San Felipe (that's not the full name but I'm not going to trawl through many municipalities for the "Of Somewhere" again), know only that it's currently the town of Calbuco. So yes, those small dots in Valdivia and Calbuco are intentional and meaningful. There were many ephemeral (and not so ephemeral) fortresses and fortress-towns in the territory of the Mapuche. Some were destroyed periodically, some lasted a lot of time and some were abandoned only to be refounded again (or even somewhere else) with the same (or even different) names. I won't trawl again through the municipalities and the stories of every small town because I don't think those are that relevant and a lot of information was lost or might have never been properly recorded. For one or two pixels? I don't think it's worth it.
The only real problems might be on the other side of the Andes. Modern Argentina, Perú, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay are still works in progress that me and some others are searching resources and maps for. I don't really trust the southernmost latitude of the pixels in the current zones around Mendoza and further south. The other problem is that, as fas as I know, there is no way of showing on worlda a disputed internal border... So, I don't know how to show the disputed border between the Capitanía General de Chile (General-Captaincy or Captaincy-General, I don't recall the exact term in English) and the Audiencia de Charcas.
Also, there is no way of mapping the expansion of Mapuche influence to the eastern side of the Andes.
Okay, in the 2020 and 2021 maps orange is used to denote first-division border disputes, so you can use that.
Use this:
The mapuche didn't reach that far into the northeast, and also hadn't expanded all the way at the time of the map (aka prior to 1776)
Why is Hungary shown as unoccupied in 1946 (when it was a defeated and occupied Axis power like Bulgaria, Romania and Germany) but Poland is being shown as occupied?
