Improving coordinates

edit

Hallo, Thanks for adding coordinates to various articles such as Pears Cumbria School of Medicine, which is on my watchlist.

In adding coordinates, you can include parameters for "region" and "type". To be honest I'm not quite sure what the "type" one does, but "region" is certainly useful as it means that the reader who clicks on the coords to get to the GeoHack page of maps is offered maps of the right place first - try clicking on the coords in that article now that I've added the "region", and compare with one of the other articles to which you've added coords without the "region".

There's a list of the "type"s at Template:Coord#type:T: my own personal note about it (copied from my "Useful info" list) is:

See Template:Coord#type:T for choice of types including "city" (cities, towns, villages, hamlets, suburbs, subdivisions, neighborhoods, and other human settlements (including unincorporated and/or abandoned ones) with unspecified population),"city (pop)" (as before, with known pop), "edu", "forest", "isle", "landmark (buildings (including churches, factories, museums, theatres, and power plants but excluding schools and railway stations), caves, cemeteries, cultural landmarks, geologic faults, headlands, intersections, mines, ranches, roads, structures (including antennas, bridges, castles, dams, lighthouses, monuments, and stadiums), tourist attractions, valleys, and other points of interest ), "mountain", "railwaystation", "river", "waterbody" etc and precision guidelines.

I hope that's helpful. There's so much to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing! PamD 23:43, 28 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thank you so much for the advice. I wasn't aware that I needed to add the type and region since I am slightly new to editing Wikipedia properly. I will definitely keep this in mind since I was trying to add co-ordinates to all of the articles in the list of Cumbria related articles that don't have geocoordinates.
