This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set. |
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.
