Talk:List of United Kingdom locations/botreq

Proposal

A bot has been requested, to make the following changes. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Step One

For each of the pages in List of United Kingdom locations, replace:


[[Image:Uk-map.svg|right|thumb|300px|The United Kingdom]]
This is part of [[List of United Kingdom locations]]: a [[gazetteer]] of place names in the [[United Kingdom]] showing each place's [[county]] and geographical coordinates.

or:


[[Image:Uk-map.svg|right|thumb|300px|The United Kingdom]]
This is part of [[List of United Kingdom locations]]: a [[gazetteer]] of place names in the [[United Kingdom]] showing each place's [[Local government in the United Kingdom|local authority]] and geographical coordinates.

with {{Lists of United Kingdom locations header}}

Step Two

On each of the listing pages, replace:


{| class="wikitable"
| style="width:240px" | '''Town'''
| style="width:120px" | '''Local authority'''
| style="width:130px" | '''Co-ordinates'''
| [[Ordnance Survey|OS]] [[British_national_grid_reference_system|grid reference]]

with {{Lists of United Kingdom locations table header}}

Thank you again. I've subsequently sub-divided a few pages, so you may need to re-check your lists before starting phase 3. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 15:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Step Three

There being some issues with the above, I suggest the following interim step:

For each table data row, add an hcard microformat by changing the mark up from, for example:


|-
| [[Heacham]] || Norfolk || {{coor d|52.90|N|00.48|E|region:GB}} || {{gbmappingsmall|TF6737}}

to:


|- class="vcard"
|class="fn org" | [[Heacham]] || class="adr" | <span class="region">Norfolk</span> || {{coord|52.90|N|00.48|E|region:GB}} ||class="note"| {{gbmappingsmall|TF6737}}

Notes:

add class="vcard"
add class="fn org"
add class="adr"
add <span class="region"></span>
change coor d to coord
add class="note"

Step Three-b

For each table data row, add an hcard microformat by changing the mark up from, for example:


|-
| [[Heacham]] || Norfolk || {{coor d|52.90|N|00.48|E|region:GB}} || {{gbmappingsmall|TF6737}}

to:


|- class="vcard"
|class="fn org" | [[Heacham]] || class="adr" | <span class="region">Norfolk</span> || class="note" | {{coor d|52.90|N|00.48|E|region:GB}} ||class="note"| {{gbmappingsmall|TF6737}}

Notes:

add class="vcard"
add class="fn org"
add class="adr"
add <span class="region"></span>
add class="note" to coordinates
add class="note" to OS grid ref

Discussion

Any comments or issues? Should we remove the link from the OS Grid Ref, as coordinates are more precise? Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 19:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would retain the link from the OS Co-ord as it is the the I always use at it is usually correct where the other entry may be incorrect as it is more difficult for people to get right. Keith D 20:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
