Operator: {{User|MaxSem}}

Time filed: 22:51, Wednesday January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Automatic or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Function overview: Correct {{tl|coord}} template invocations.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): ---

Edit period(s): one-time run

Estimated number of pages affected: Thousands

Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yup

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function details: So far I've identified one vast class of mistakes: some bot, while adding coordinates to US settlement articles, added them in format {{coord|latitude|longitude|city}}, while it should have been {{coord|latitude|longitude|type:city}}. The former format is not recognised by GeoHack and will not be recognised by the GeoData extension WMF is planning to roll out soonish. Since I'm changing the article anyway, I will also replace old b/c redirects like {{tl|coor dms}} with direct {{tl|coord}} calls.

:I see no problem with this; to clarify, it's fixing stuff like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ansonia,_Ohio&diff=55613050&oldid=46819126]. --slakr^\ talk / 07:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

:Does changing {{tl|coor dms}} to {{tl|coord}} involve any parameter changes? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

::No, it's a pure template redirect. Max Semenik (talk) 11:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
