Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Coordinates, again - time to deprecate 'coor *' templates
There is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Coordinates section about which templates should be used to insert geographical coordinates into articles. -- Patleahy 23:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The discussion is now at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Coordinates, again - time to deprecate 'coor *' templates. -- Patleahy 18:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Time to deprecate
Now that Google Earth have confirmed that they are parsing coord, and WikiWorld and Geo Names have said that they will do so, are people content to finally deprecate the older coor * coordinates templates? Andy Mabbett 14:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Put it another way: I shall do so, shortly, unless anyone objects. Andy Mabbett 16:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You should wait five days for responses just like you would for WP:AfD. -- Patleahy 16:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * That's what I mean by "shortly" Andy Mabbett 17:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Do we have a real world in the wild example of coord actually being parsed and appearing in the wild? If not, it is too early. Regan123 17:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * As I've replied to the same point elsewhere, I fail to see why that's a requirement. Andy Mabbett 17:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Note also that Wikipedia itself has now announced that Google Earth supports coord. Andy Mabbett 14:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Please review the changes. I will try to update the templates on a weekend. -- User:Docu


 * The point of doing this, when the coor * templates are on the verge of being deprecated, and replaced with coord, is what, exactly? Andy Mabbett 11:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Please avoid cross-posting and keep your comments to the issue at hand. -- User:Docu


 * I've placed my comment directly below yours; and asked specifically about your original comment. Your new comment therefore makes no sense. Please answer my previous question. Andy Mabbett 15:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Pigsonthewing, we all know you like coord, but your comment is slightly off thread, as the question here is in which to implement the change. -- User:Docu


 * (previous comment by ) My question is specific and relevant to your proposed change. Why do you refuse to answer it? My name remains, Andy Mabbett 15:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * (previous comment by . The template is still being used, even much more than the one you are trying to advocate. -- User:Docu

New template: coord
'''Please see Coord, which is intended to replace the  family of templates. These will then be substituted, throughout Wikipedia, by bot. All functionality is retained'''. Andy Mabbett 11:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for adding your opinion. BTW coord is not new, your section header ("New template: coord") is misleading. -- User:Docu
