This maintenance category lists articles which contain erroneous {{Coord}} templates.
Section | Error | Suggestions for repair |
---|---|---|
' | Coordinates with minutes >=60 or <0 (such as 1°75'N) |
Check the coordinates. Many programs treat 1°75' as 2°15'.
If the value is > 60, it's likely that decimal values have been entered as minutes, |
" | Coordinates with seconds >=60 or <0 (such as 1°01'80"N) |
Check the coordinates. Many programs treat 1'80" as 2'20".
If the value is > 60, it's likely that decimal values have been entered as degrees-minutes-seconds, If the value is exactly 60, it may be the result of poor numerical rounding, and only require the carrying of the value into the minutes field. |
> | Coordinates with latitude degrees > 90 (such as 96°N) or longitude degrees >= 360 (such as 7895°W) | Check the coordinates. It could be that the latitude and longitude are swapped or that a decimal point is missing. |
< | Coordinates with latitude degrees < -90 or longitude degrees <= -360 (e.g. -91°N) |
Check the coordinates. It could be that the latitude and longitude are swapped or that a decimal point is missing. |
? | {{Coord}} got parameters that don't match any of the formats it understands. | Check the unnamed parameters (listed in red after the error message) against the template documentation.
|
# | {{Coord}} got too many unnamed parameters. | Check the parameter list against the documentation of {{coord}}. Often coordinate parameters need to be merged. This can be as simple as replacing a pipe ( | ) with an underscore ( _ ). For example:
|
D | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "dim=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
G | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "globe=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
R | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "region=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
S | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "scale=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
T | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "type=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
s | {{Coord}} got a named parameter "source=". | Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
|
Articles with multiple {{Coord}} errors will appear in just one section.
