This page provide partial conventions for the creation of '''Historical maps'''.<br />
'''Historical maps''' (or '''Complex maps''') aim to display a clear overview, describing a complex situation. Accordingly, in addition of previous levels colours' conventions, there are provide a full set of conventions for labels and icones.

'''Usage:''' Most of time, this style is use to display historical situation (area of control, cities) or action (migrations, battles), giving the name to this style. But this labels and icons set is also suitable for other complex maps such ethnology maps, linguistic maps, etc. The set of icons is not close to historical icons, you can expand this set if other icons are need for specific fields.

'''Creation:''' Historical maps are conveniently derivate from country or wider area [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Location maps|Location maps]]. The map maker have to color the background (ocean, land, rivers, subject area) to the Locator maps conventional colours. To create up on areas, the map maker is suggested to use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions/Areas maps|Areas maps]] colours. For labels and icons, please see below.

'''Note:''' the main tool for this style should be the file [[:File:Maps_template-history_patch-en.svg|Maps_template-history_patch-en.svg]]. This file is a good start, but {{color|green|'''stay to expand.'''}} You have an correct experience in historical map creation ? Please, share your ideas and icons ;]
