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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

←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)[reply]

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
