Tɛmplet:Coord missing/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Tɛmplet:Coord missing. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original tɛmplet page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 109,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates) and is easily converted, by adding them, into {{coord}}.
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{Coord missing|region name}}
Parameters
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]- region name
Either one of the country names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country, or a smaller area, such as a state or province, where that sub-subcategory exists or is warranted. Where a particular country cannot be identified, one of the continent names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by continent should be used instead.
- The categories are hidden categories. To view hidden categories, one needs to activate them in Special:Preferences. Under "Appearance", there is "Show hidden categories".
If a category is renamed, leave a category redirect page at the old name, as this template resolves category redirects. E.g. by default the parameter "Washington, D.C." would populate Category:Washington, D.C. articles missing geocoordinate data, but this is redirected, so the template instead populates the target Category:Washington, D.C., articles missing geocoordinate data.
Removal of template
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]The template should be removed when coordinates are added to the article.
A bot occasionally removes it from all articles that already use {{coor URL}}.
