Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Coordinates, again - time to deprecate 'coor *' templates

There is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Coordinates section about which templates should be used to insert geographical coordinates into articles. -- Patleahy 23:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Time to deprecate

Now that Google Earth have confirmed that they are parsing {{tl|coord}}, and WikiWorld and Geo Names have said that they will do so, are people content to finally deprecate the older coor * coordinates templates? Andy Mabbett 14:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

:Put it another way: I shall do so, shortly, unless anyone objects. Andy Mabbett 16:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

::You should wait five days for responses just like you would for WP:AfD. -- Patleahy 16:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:::That's what I mean by "shortly" Andy Mabbett 17:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

::::Do we have a real world in the wild example of {{tl|coord}} actually being parsed and appearing in the wild? If not, it is too early. Regan123 17:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:::::As I've replied to the same point elsewhere, I fail to see why that's a requirement. Andy Mabbett 17:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Note also that Wikipedia itself has now announced that Google Earth supports coord. Andy Mabbett 14:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Updates: Span text

On Template_talk:Coor_URL#Span_title, it was suggested to update the span text.

[{{Coor URL}}{{{1}}}_{{{2}}}_{{{3}}}_{{{4}}}_{{{5}}} {{{1}}}° {{{2}}} {{{3}}}° {{{4}}}]

[{{Coor URL}}{{{1}}}_{{{2}}}_{{{3}}}_{{{4}}}_{{{5}}}_{{{6}}}_{{{7}}} {{{1}}}°{{{2}}}′{{{3}}}, {{{4}}}°{{{5}}}′{{{6}}}]

[{{Coor URL}}{{{1}}}_{{{2}}}_{{{3}}}_{{{4}}}_{{{5}}}_{{{6}}}_{{{7}}}_{{{8}}}_{{{9}}} {{{title|{{{1}}}°{{{2}}}′{{{3}}}″{{{4}}}, {{{5}}}°{{{6}}}′{{{7}}}″{{{8}}}}}}]

Please review the changes. I will try to update the templates on a weekend. -- User:Docu

:The point of doing this, when the coor * templates are on the verge of being deprecated, and replaced with {{tl|coord}}, is what, exactly? Andy Mabbett 11:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

::Please avoid cross-posting and keep your comments to the issue at hand. -- User:Docu

:::I've placed my comment directly below yours; and asked specifically about your original comment. Your new comment therefore makes no sense. Please answer my previous question. Andy Mabbett 15:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

::::Pigsonthewing, we all know you like coord, but your comment is slightly off thread, as the question here is in which to implement the change. -- User:Docu

:::::(previous comment by {{user|Docu}}) My question is specific and relevant to your proposed change. Why do you refuse to answer it? My name remains, Andy Mabbett 15:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::(previous comment by {{user|Pigsonthewing}}. The template is still being used, even much more than the one you are trying to advocate. -- User:Docu

New template: ''coord''

Please see {{tl|Coord}}, which is intended to replace the coor family of templates. These will then be substituted, throughout Wikipedia, by bot. All functionality is retained. Andy Mabbett 11:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

:Thank you for adding your opinion. BTW coord is not new, your section header ("New template: coord") is misleading. -- User:Docu
