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.
Contents
Using the module with coordinsert
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
The module's "coord2text" function can be used to extract data from the {{Coord}} template. For example, to extract the latitude from a Coord template, use:
{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}} →
To extract the longitude, use:
{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}} → Lua error in mw.text.lua at line 219: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil).
This can be useful if you want to use the latitude or longitude in a mathematical expression.
