SVG Chart

Hi, it seems that the template SVG Chart is not being maintained anymore. I found the instructions a bit cryptic and I note that in the last few years, there are only a few posts on the talk page, most of which have gone unanswered. Should that page perhaps be marked historical or deprecated or something? I also see a reference to "another SVG generator that is under development" from 2015, does anyone know what/where that is?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a better way to create SVG charts that can easily be updated by laypeople? I have tried various pieces of software, but they all produce SVG files that have completely unreadable source code (for humans). I really like the idea of this SVG Chart template... Is it true that the Graph extension (see also here) needs to be applied to every language wiki separately as claimed on the same talk page?

(I transferred this text from the Graphics Lab for Illustration Workshop] as I thought this might be a more suitable venue for this discussion.) KarlFrei (talk) 13:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
