I need help with my .svg files. Big time.

For some reason, nearly every time I upload .svg files, it gets screwed up (please refer to my recent uploads). I use Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for editing vector images. Please help!!!!

P.S. I think it's time for Wikimedia Commons to allow other kinds of vector files. I never have this kind of problem with .ai files. FIERS D'ÊTRE INSCRIT 20:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please describe more exact what do you mean with "gets screwed up"? PS: I hope AI will never be supported. ↔ User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?) 21:04, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) What exactly goes wrong? Your uploads look OK to me.

Support for .ai files is probably never going to happen, because .ai is a proprietary file format. Commons only accepts free file types. SiBr₄ (talk) 21:05, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

SiBr₄:

For this image, I was merely translating the texts on this image, but after I uploaded my image, the provinces fell apart instead of sticking together like in the original image.

For this image, all those transparent portion was cropped out for no reason but that didn't happen on my computer. So I don't know what the bloody hell has happened during the uploading. FIERS D'ÊTRE INSCRIT 23:09, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

If you're starting a image from scratch illustrator is fine, but when it comes to editing a existing SVG image I would recommend you use inkscape instead of illustrator. IMO illustrator makes a excessive number of unneeded changes to the markup which can end up causing situations like this. I also wanted to note to make sure you're using fonts from the current SVG font list. This will ensure your text will have the same look when rendered as a PNG.Offnfopt^(talk) 00:49, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Besides the MediaWiki rasterizer, Inkscape, Chrome and Internet Explorer also show the first image with gaps between the provinces. It is highly unlikely that four unrelated SVG renderers have the same bug that causes this error, and I doubt the file could have been corrupted by the upload script, so for me too the prime suspect is Illustrator's SVG exporter.

Creation of SVG signs

Hi. There is a minor thing I would like to bring up that's been bothering me for the past week or so. I would like the following 2 files to be created in SVG form...

...but I have zero experience on creating SVG images. If I could get someone with experience to help me out, that would be great. Dude00007 (talk) 06:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

You probably would be better off posting this at the graphics lab. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Did you get the help you needed? If so, could you leave some sort of comment here so that we aren't left wondering? I have a lot of experience working with SVG images, but if you don't need more help with this, then I can just move on. So let us know. Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 05:07, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
