Template:NRHPcoord/doc

NRHPcoord records source and quality information about coordinates of places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Currently NRHPcoord does not display anything or have any other effect on the reader's experience. In the future it may add administrative categories to articles, such as Category:NRHP coordinates unverified, towards helping WikiProject NRHP's efforts to improve coordinates data. It may or may not display a footnote.

Usage

This current usage may be redefined later, and usages in place would be updated

Template syntax, to start, is to use field "providedby" or "correctedby" or "verifiedby" and, optionally, to use field "note" to add other information:

1: Use "providedby" and your editor username if you are the provider of the coordinates, based on your interpretation of Google maps or whatever.made a substantial correction to coordinates, as in:
{{NRHPcoord |providedby=USERNAME}}

2: Use "correctedby" if there was a different source used (which can be stated in the "providedby" field) and you have made a substantial refinement/correction to coordinates, as in:
{{NRHPcoord |correctedby=USERNAME}}

Note, extremely small changes in coordinates are not worth mentioning. (What amount of DMS or decimal measurement is the cutoff?)

3: Use "verifiedby" if you have verified that coordinates are correct (and the original source is in the providedby or correctedby field), without having changed them. For example:
{{NRHPcoord
| verifiedby=AnEditor
| note=I visited site and used NRHP nomination photos plus Google maps satellite view.
}}

Note: "NRHPcoord" or "Nrhpcoord" or "nrhpcoord" or "NRHPCOORD" or "template:NRHP coordinates" all work as the template name; "NRHPcoord" is preferred.

Syntax may be expanded in future; see Template talk:NRHPcoord and wt:NRHP for discussion. For example, perhaps:
{{Nrhpcoord
| source1= Google satellite view
| source2= NRHP nomination document
| userdate= 15 December 2016
| user= Juan Nguyen
| user-visited-site = yes
| usernote= This is centered on what I know is the original location of the main farmhouse building of the historic district.
}}

or
{{Nrhpcoord
| source=NRIS
| NRISversion=2010a
}}
