Weird green outlines on map

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The image to the right—used in the infobox—has weird green outlines of landmasses such as Borneo, Java and Malaysia. This is something I've only found on the Brunei article when looking for similar outlining on other country articles. It's nonurgent, but could use cleaninh.

Roast, I found an number of duplicate shapes, including green ones for Malaysia and Java. You were likely seeing the edges of those green shapes. I have removed the ones I found. CMD (talk) 15:09, 4 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
