Category:Coord template needing repair

This maintenance category lists articles which contain erroneous {{Coord}} templates.

Types of errors and ways to repair them
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,
e.g. 1°75' {{Coord|1|75|N|2|20|E}} instead of 1.75° ({{Coord|1.75|N|2.20|E}}). 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 degrees field.

" 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,
e.g. 1°65'85" {{Coord|1|65|85|N|2|20|85|E}} instead of 1.6585° ({{Coord|1.6585|N|2.2085|E}}).

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.
  • If dec format was intended, there should be no more than three unnamed parameters.
  • If dms format was intended, the 4th unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 8th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".
  • If dm format was intended, the 3rd unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 6th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".
  • If d format was intended, the 2nd unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 4th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".
# {{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:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|type:city|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|type:city|format=dms|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
D {{Coord}} got a named parameter "dim=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|dim=100}}
to {{Coord|1|2|dim:100}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|dim=100|format=dms|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|dim:100_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
G {{Coord}} got a named parameter "globe=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|globe=moon}}
to {{Coord|1|2|globe:moon}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|globe=moon|format=dms|dim:100}}
to {{Coord|1|2|globe:moon_dim:100|format=dms}}
R {{Coord}} got a named parameter "region=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|region=ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|region:ZZ}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|type:city|format=dms|region=ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
S {{Coord}} got a named parameter "scale=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|scale=5000}}
to {{Coord|1|2|scale:5000}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|scale=5000|format=dms|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|scale:5000_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
T {{Coord}} got a named parameter "type=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|type=city}}
to {{Coord|1|2|type:city}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|type=city|format=dms|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
s {{Coord}} got a named parameter "source=". Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|source=gnis}}
to {{Coord|1|2|source:gnis}}
  • Change {{Coord|1|2|source=gnis|format=dms|region:ZZ}}
to {{Coord|1|2|source:gnis_region:ZZ|format=dms}}
