Parameters: resolves category redirects

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{High-use}}


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

== Usage ==
{{tlx|Coord missing|region name}}

=== 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 [[WP:hidden categories|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 {{tl|coor URL}}.

=== Error tracking ===
* [[:Category:Unclassified articles missing geocoordinate data]]<br/>For pages where no region name is supplied
* [[:Category:Misclassified articles missing geocoordinate data]]<br/>For pages where the region name does not match a valid category
