Find coordinates for
- Category:Articles needing coordinates
- Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country
- Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by subject
- Observatories
- Concentration camps
Use Maybe-Checker: verify and/or add coordinates to articles in categories likely to need coordinates.
Articles are also listed on WolterBot's cleanup listings (User:WolterBot/Cleanup statistics)
See also: Misplaced Pages:Obtaining geographic coordinates
Tag articles needing coordinates
{{coord missing|country name}} is added to articles needing coordinates. This makes them available for the previous step.

User reported errors:

Coordinates templates needing maintenanceno pages or subcategories Coord template needing repairno pages or subcategories- coord-enwiki.log (updated daily)
- Coordinate check tallies (config)
- Red link prefix search for parameter error with
display= - Check coord templates among the 37 pages in Category:ParserFunction errors
- Coordinates out of range: lat >90°, <-90°; long >180°, < -180° (Note: coordinates for other planets may be outside that range).
- Coordinates around 0°,0° in article namespace
- Stray instances of: Coor title d, Coor title dm, Coor title dms (Careful! Bots generally skip broken coordinates).
- Replace links in articles to: MapQuest, MSN, and Google Maps
More
- Make better examples, also showing use of decimals and scale.
Create an export to OpenStreetmap of all points in the database- Add an attribute for
other planets and the moon and probably alsostar maps. - Extend NASA World Wind support to include layers (by type) and labels.
- Rewrite the article Geographic coordinate system linked from many coordinates. Related articles: latitude, longitude.
- Convert existing data to templates
- Identify special formats not yet converted, e.g. E12 23 54 N23 34 52
- Clean up / reduce redundancy in U.S. city articles (rambot/smackbot generated), see past discussion
- Suggestions for extensions at mw:Summer of Code 2009#MediaWiki core and new extensions
- Discuss, summarise and specify a set of changes to geohack, such as type list revision, support for linear features, bug fixes, &c
