Stuff I need to keep track of

Maps

I keep losing the link to Christof's map with the regions: Categories for collections by region.

Maybe, instead of a topographical map, just one with the coastlines and major inland waters and rivers?

Anyway, this map needs to be cleaned up a little:

• change credit statement in map plugin (it's not OSM)
• sea water around Iceland missing
• land masses with heights below zero get colored blue, which suggests a body of water

Also, we need a short list of placenames to add, maybe taylored to Clavis needs, thus include important centers of canonistic activity, monasteries etc.

Possible sources:

• borders of dioceses and ecclesiastical provinces from the Data Supplement of the Corpus Synodalium project (freely re-usable, doi:10.25740/rh195hm5975)
• Mapping Past Societies (formerly the Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations, DARMC, see Data availability). NB: Upon closer inspection it turns out the data is in most cases not freely available in a re-usable format.

Bot membership

I have several Bots running under my user name. I was of the opinion that changes I made under the Bot-Identity get flagged as "Bot", whenever I use the API and set the Bot-flag in the API-call. Yet, I had to add my user account to the group "bot" in order to achieve this. But now all my changes, even the manual ones, get flagged as changes by a Bot. So I'll have to investigate this further. (Thanks to User:SStark for this hint.)
