== Strange error ==

Noticed some strange error in template or module. See [[Statue_of_Lutgardis,_Charles_Bridge]], correct coordinates from wikidata (https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=50.086845_N_14.4085239_E_globe:earth&language=en) are rendered wrongly (https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Statue_of_Lutgardis,_Charles_Bridge&params=50_4_49_N_14_24_24_E_type:landmark).[[User:Jklamo|Jklamo]] ([[User talk:Jklamo|talk]]) 18:37, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
:{{u|Frietjes}}, could you take a look into this. In the above article, the associated entry at wikidata says the coords are 50 4 49, 14 24 24 which is the right place on the small wikimedia preview map shown in wikidata. But [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Statue_of_Lutgardis,_Charles_Bridge&oldid=903284309 in the version of the article that used this template], those same coordinates are in a different location on the OSM map there.

:Before I knew about this thread, I assumed the WD coords were just wrong; I found the location on google maps and put those coords (in decimal format) into the article (which located the statue correctly on the OSM map). I thought that was a good fix, but apparently there is more going on here. [[User:MB|<b style="color:#00FF00">MB</b>]] 05:24, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
:: {{U|MB}}, {{coord|50.0869|N|14.4085|E|source:googlemaps|format=dms}} is not what is in WD ({{coord|50|4|49|N|14|24|24|E}}). [[User:Frietjes|Frietjes]] ([[User talk:Frietjes|talk]]) 13:23, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
:::{{u|Frietjes}}, yes, I am aware of that. But {{coord|50|4|49|N|14|24|24|E}} appears in a different location on the map in WD than it does here. [[User:MB|<b style="color:#00FF00">MB</b>]] 15:22, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

== Changing  ==

'coordinate parameters' are passed through to {{tl|Coord}}.  Thus we can edit '''{{'}}region{{'}}''': such as through {{Q|P300}}, '''{{'}}type{{'}}''': adm1st / adm2nd / adm3rd, and '''{{'}}dim{{'}}''': "a number connected to √{{Q|P2046}}"<br />
'''region''' is used only for adm1st / adm2nd, '''type''' is only for the three types allowed (there is no adm4th (for [[:barangay]]), but '''dim''': is used for every place (with a positive area).

'template parameters' are passed through to {{tl|Coord}} no problem.

That doesn't work either! Now I guess that means that GeoHack doesn't work because the coordinates in wikidata are only dm not dms.  Now to try that, if I can.<br />

So I change the wikidata coordinate to have arcseconds to:<br />
4c 
https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Template_talk:WikidataCoord&params=10_0_0_N_123_30_0_E_region:PH-07_type:adm1st_dim:1000000<br />

At last I worked what is wrong and what is to be done.  But I can't do it – wikidataCoord, GeoHack and Wikidata between them have to agree what is to be done.<br />(It is a bit confused, as I had to change a couple of coordinate, and that means the older coordinates have been wiped.) Maybe I'll send this to [[:Village pump (technical)|Village pump]].

==Overprecise Records of wikidata==
In [[Flaminio Obelisk]] another user replaced my {{tl|WikidataCoord}} with {{tl|coord}} saying "adding coord to replace overprecise Wikidata coords". Why are wikidata coords overprecise? Why does it matter? I just wanted to use the database wikidata instead of adding the coords again manually for OSM.[[User:Ruedi33a|Ruedi33a]] ([[User talk:Ruedi33a|talk]]) 17:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

:Not the fault of the template.  {{tlx|WikidataCoord}} merely renders the coordinates that are stored at Wikidata:
::the raw information from wikidata:

== Error ==

Used on [[Villa Park]] (in preview; I did not save), the markup:

<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">{{WikidataCoord|type:landmark_region:GB |display=inline,title}}</syntaxhighlight> 

generates an error: <code><nowiki>{{WikidataCoord}} – malformed coordinate data</nowiki></code>.

What's up? <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 14:43, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
:That error message occurs because <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code> is assigned the value <code>type:landmark_region:GB</code> which is not a QID so the call into wikidata returns nothing and nothing is not valid coordinate data.  Rewriting the template to include the QID works:
::<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">{{WikidataCoord|Q175339|type:landmark_region:GB |display=inline,title}}</syntaxhighlight>
:::{{WikidataCoord|Q175339|type:landmark_region:GB |display=inline,title}}
