Template talk:Coor at d/Archive 1

Started documentation

Hi, I've started the documentation in the Template:Coor at d/doc subpage, as recommended in Wikipedia:Template doc page pattern. Please edit the template:

<span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[{{Coor URL}}{{{1}}}_{{{2}}}_{{{3}}}_{{{4}}}_{{{5}}} {{{1}}}° {{{2}}} {{{3}}}° {{{4}}}]</span><span id="coordinates" class="plainlinksneverexpand">[[Geographic coordinate system|Coordinates]]: [{{Coor URL}}{{{1}}}_{{{2}}}_{{{3}}}_{{{4}}}_{{{5}}} {{{1}}}° {{{2}}} {{{3}}}° {{{4}}}]</span><noinclude>
{{protected template}}
{{{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc}}
<!-- Add cats and interwikis to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
</noinclude>

Thanks. +mwtoews 21:10, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Font size inheritance

I noticed you can't use this template inside some infoboxes that set a smaller font size (e.g., {{Infobox lake}}, because the coordinates in the top-right inherit the font size used for the infobox, and don't look good. At least in IE6. Instead, if you want it to look good, you need to use separate {{coor d}} and {{coor title d}} calls, which it would be nice to avoid. I wonder if this can be corrected, either by setting a consistent font size in this template for the title area, or via the style sheet. --GregU 20:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I do hope someone will fix this - it's been over three months, after all. For an example, see Shoreham-by-Sea's co-ordinates at the top right.--A bit iffy 09:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Is there any update on progress towards resolving this problem? Keith D 11:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I hope someone will respond - it's not good that a large number of articles have a clearly visible defect like this. PLEASE WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS PLEASE!--A bit iffy 08:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The Shoreham-by-Sea article uses Template:Infobox UK place, which was changed on May 11 to give the coordinates to the {{Coord}} template. You can either revert the change or take the bug reports to the talk page of that new template. --Para 20:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect

{{editprotected}} There are now no live instances of this deprecated template. Please redirect it to its more highly-featured replacement, Template:Coord. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:30, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

 Done I unprotected this template. It probably should be deleted. Ruslik (talk) 20:19, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
