This is a documentation subpage for Module:Coordinates.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This Lua module is used on approximately 1,350,000 pages, or roughly 2% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module tracks and uses Wikidata property:

coordinate location (P625) (see uses)

This module depends on the following other modules:

This module uses TemplateStyles:

Module:Coordinates/styles.css (sandbox)

Note: The code which this module's main function (coord) outputs is directly parsed and/or manipulated by Module:Location map and other functions of this module itself (coord2text and coordinsert). If the structure of the output changes (for example, to use the <mapframe> and <maplink> tags), please update the aforementioned scripts as well.

Using the module with coordinsert[edit]

When using the ((Coord)) template inside another template, like an infobox, there may be parameters (like type:airport) which should be added automatically. To do so, do something like this:

((#if:(({coordinates|))}|((#invoke:Coordinates|coordinsert|(({coordinates|))}|parameter1:value1|parameter2:value2|parameter3:value3…))|

Do not add more vertical bars | than necessary.

Using the module with coord2text to extract latitude or longitude[edit]

Developers maintaining legacy code may need to extract latitude or longitude to use a parameters in other code, or a mathematical expression. The module's "coord2text" function can be used to extract data from the ((Coord)) template. To extract the latitude from a Coord template, use:

((#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|((Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E))|lat)) → 57.30611

To extract the longitude, use:

((#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|((Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E))|long)) → 4.45889
