Programming language(s): PHP

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Fix_coordinates_display_for_USGS-derived_articles
Edit period(s): Hourly
Estimated number of pages affected: {{ coord}} is used on 760826 pages. The bot will review 60/hour.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details:
1. The bot checks for discontinued templates ({{ coor at dm}}, {{ coor dm}}, {{ coor dms}}, and {{ coor at dms}}) and converts them to {{ coord}}
2. Bot checks to see if a format=title already exists.
3. If format=title does not exist, bot changes the first {{ coord}} template found to include format=title (or format=inline,title).
Your third point needs to be clearer. Which will it pick, when?
You're planning on running this for ten years?
Why can't this be pushed back into the template - what happens if two coords templates have intitle=true?
Why is the source code unavailable? Josh Parris 07:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC) reply
The BOTREQ was only for one category (there may be others where it applies; to be determined). This shouldn't be done for all instances of {{ Coord}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:51, 27 April 2012 (UTC) reply
