This will be running of off the latest dump. I made a test edit here. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 22:19, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

You may also want to consider replacing some older templates, like Geolinks and Mapit, though I think their usage is pretty low. Other than that, it sounds good, would you mind posting the regexes it uses? Mr.Z-man 04:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

It is finding {{coor at dms(.*?)}} {{coor at dm(.*?)}} {{coor at d(.*?)}} and replacing with {{coord|display=inline,title\\1}} for the first one, and {{coor dms(.*?)}} {{coor dm(.*?)}} {{coor d(.*?)}} with {{coord\\1}} LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 00:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

All instances of coor at * must have |display=inline,title. I trust that your final example should be {{coor d(.*?)}}, not {{coor at d(.*?)}}. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 16:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

←Sorry, that is what I meant, also, I can do {{Geolinks-cityscale}}, {{Geolinks-US-hoodscale}}, {{Mapit-US-cityscale}} LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 03:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you again. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Pages with {{geolinks-US-cityscale}}, etc. need more fixes than just conversion to {{coord}}, see Wikipedia talk:GEO#Coordinates_in_US_cities_articles:_where_to_display. -- User:Docu
