Template:Coordinate

Template:Coordinate (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{coord}} (and to {{coord missing}}). Recent discussion at WT:GEO decided by consensus that {{coord}} is the preferred coordinates template. {{coordinate}}'s documentation states "Currently not implemented.".

  • Keep it facilitates integration of content from Misplaced Pages's in other languages. Pages using the template can be converted periodically to the current standard template or whatever new templates are made up in the meantime (e.g. {{coord missing}}). -- User:Docu
  • Delete (or perhaps redirect to {{coord}}) as unused and redundant to other templates. Adambro (talk) 19:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Since it's currently deprecated, it's not going to get used, so it doesn't serve any purpose to keep it. {{Coordinate}} is a step too far, too soon, before we've even cleaned up the existing mess of at least twelve different geocoordinate templates: as far as the en: Misplaced Pages is concerned, it's an example of second system syndrome. One day, in a year or two, we may want something like it, but it's more likely to be implemented by progressive evolution of {{coord}}, without a need for a whole new syntax. {{coord}} is a kludge; but at least it's a single and currently-used kludge that is moderately well implemented and understood by our data reusers (notably Google), which can be used as a bottleneck for resolving problems as we evolve the system, without having a flag day. -- The Anome (talk) 19:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
  • If one doesn't want to do the conversions from {{coordinate}} to {{coord}} by bot, one could modify it to output a properly formatted {{coord}} when used in article namespace, e.g. {{Coordinate|NS=46/32/55/N|EW=7/58/59/E|type=pass|region=CH}} would output {{coord|46|32|55|N|7|58|59|E|type:pass_region:CH}}. -- User:Docu

Power templates

Template:Auto bhp (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Auto PS (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Auto ihp (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Same reason why all power templates such as {{auto hp}} already been agreed to be deleted. Completely redundant and not as complete as {{convert}}. {{Convert}} covers all occurrences of these measurements and is far more widely used. There is nothing these templates do that {{convert}} can't do, but many things these templates can't do that {{convert}} can. roguegeek (talk·cont) 18:14, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
