New signatory countries

Nigeria and Benin have now signed the agreement. Should we add a fourth colour and a fourth group of countries to account for the countries signing in July 2019, or merge signatory countries into a large group and reduce to only two colours? Ydecreux (留言) 16:47, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

I think it should be enough to mark three groups: countries who signed, signed/ratified, and those who are still out. Thank you very much for the good work! -- Schmeißfliege, Germany (留言) 18:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for this advice. I will do it, probably on the weekend, as it also requires informing contributors of the various Wikipedia articles using the file that the legend should be changed (or doing the changes myself for the languages I know). Modifying the map itself does not take too long. Ydecreux (留言) 20:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Someone did the change already. Slightly different from what you suggested, but OK I think. Ydecreux (留言) 11:38, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Other colour scheme

I think we could use a different colour scheme, to differentiate three groups:

1. Signatory countries;
2. Countries having approved ratification;
3. Countries having deposited their ratification instruments.

Example in this document: https://www.tralac.org/resources/infographic/13795-status-of-afcfta-ratification.html

This would require that we inform users of the map of this change.
