What do we want to do with citing different versions of the same map? I want to cite something in an article, but the Corbeau Dam is only on the Shadows map, so there probably needs to be a way to cite a specific version of a map. This will probably be helpful as there are multiple maps of Roshar and Luthadel as well. --[[User:Windrunner|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner|talk]]) 02:44, 8 January 2016 (MST) |

Multiple Maps
What do we want to do with citing different versions of the same map? I want to cite something in an article, but the Corbeau Dam is only on the Shadows map, so there probably needs to be a way to cite a specific version of a map. This will probably be helpful as there are multiple maps of Roshar and Luthadel as well. --Windrunner (talk) 02:44, 8 January 2016 (MST)
