I posted this in Keen modding as well:
I've made 343 Level Maps of Keen Mods and I've thought about if someone would like to see them or if it's a good idea to put mod level maps into KeenWiki? Is this spoiling the mod fun? (I have made them after beating the levels, but others may look at it before)

Wow! I'd like to see some, as I've never seen my own levels (in case they're included) in one view. How did you make them?
My newest mod - Commander Keen: Sunset: viewtopic.php?t=8568 | codename H.Y.E.N.A.
Only the Maps of Yorphius II ar included, as it is the only one of your mods I was able to finish, yet...
I just opened the levels with iKeen, set my screen resolution to max and made a screenshot with the "print" key. Then i imported it to Corel Photopaint. Some of the biggest levels I had to put together from several images...
EDIT: KeenRush seems to like the idea, so i started with uploading the Yorphius level maps and linking to the Yorphius article. But i still think its kind of ugly how the thumbs all sit on the right side. If anyone knows how to put small images on the left or even more compact in lines you're welcome to change it, I'll ad the next ones according to this example then..
EDIT again: I found out myself, have a look at it if you like it that way.

Wow, that was lucky. I moved the KeenWiki across to a new (hopefully faster) webserver a couple of hours before you uploaded the files - but to avoid downtime it's still linking back to the old server's database (so that any edits that still get made on the old server won't be lost, while all the updated DNS entries are settling across the 'net.)
Unfortunately this means any files uploaded on the old server won't appear on the new one - so it was really lucky all your uploads ended up on the new server!
This is a great idea though, I didn't even know you could use the <gallery/> tag to list all the level photos like you did - excellent job! It'll make it easier for people like me to appreciate the effort that goes into mods (because I'm terrible at playing them and the cheats are often disabled, so I usually don't see beyond the first level...)

Looking good! Ah, the memories... I should really play it again, haven't done that for a long time.

They're fantastic, thanks for going to the trouble of creating and uploading them! They make the mod pages much more interesting. Here's a link to one of the pages for those who aren't sure where to look.
