Map location marks and legend[edit]

This map is incredibly abstruse. All the active locations on the map are incredibly tiny and many readers won't even realise there is information there, although perhaps the legend will give some people a clue. Some of the locations are tagged with an actual name, but most are just numbers. The number can then be looked up in the legend, although many of the numbers are repeated and you have to match both the number and the color, a blatant abuse of MOS:COLORCODING. Am I missing something here? Is there a reason why *all* the tagged locations can't have the actual name? They can still be in color to be matched with a country, or that can also be included in the text. Or both. Lithopsian (talk) 10:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
