From Help:Wikia Maps:

Optimum size for maps is at least 2000 x 2000 pixels.

I would assume 2000 x 2000 pixels is just a suggested size for best results and not a limit. I don't actually know if bigger sizes are allowed, but it seems like so, based on the above point (and 2000 x 2000 pixels seems really small for a map). I have yet to create a map that big though; I have a couple copies of Pivot maps, which is why I chose them for testing the feature, but they're only about 1000 pixels wide. We could try enabling Wikia Maps here and testing it out...since the feature is very beta at the moment, I'm sure larger dimensions could work as a suggestion. Otherwise, the maps feature wouldn't be very good for Metroidvanias and the like.

Hmm, I beg to differ. Unlike imagemaps, Wikia Maps lets you see the full sized picture, with options to zoom in and out. You also have the option of dragging to scroll within the map window, a feature I really appreciate. Pins can be categorised, so users can filter them by which category they would like to see. For the case of A Kitty Dream, it could be something like the location of powerups in one category vs. secrets in another. Clicking on the pin also allows the user to get a brief description in a pin popup without them having to go to the actual page. Imagemaps have to be added to the wiki page to be functional, and are limited to the width of the left column. There's also no popup that users see when they click on a point (but I guess that could be coded with JS if anyone knows any :/).
