Template:Coord missing/doc

This template is used to mark articles without geolocation data (coordinates) and is easily converted, by adding them, into coord.

Parameters

 * region name:

Either one of the country names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by country, or a smaller area, such as a state or province, where that sub-subcategory exists or is warranted. Where a particular country cannot be identified, one of the continent names used in the subcategories of Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by continent should be used instead.


 * The categories are hidden categories. To view hidden categories, one needs to activate them in Special:Preferences. Under "Appearance", there is "Show hidden categories".

If a category is renamed, leave a category redirect page at the old name, as this template resolves category redirects. E.g. by default the parameter "Washington, D.C." would populate Category:Washington, D.C. articles missing geocoordinate data, but this is redirected, so the template instead populates the target Category:Washington, D.C., articles missing geocoordinate data.

Removal of template
The template should be removed when coordinates are added to the article.

A bot occasionally removes it from all articles that already use coor URL.

Error tracking

 * Category:Unclassified articles missing geocoordinate data For pages where no region name is supplied
 * Category:Misclassified articles missing geocoordinate data For pages where the region name does not match a valid category
