[Wikipedia-l] Greasemonkey script for wikipedia geo.location

[Neil Phillips]

Hi,

In advance of any 'switch on' of the meta:GIS extension for wikipedia, I've
written a script for greasemonkey which does the same thing.

It just looks through wikipedia pages and if it finds a URL corresponding to
coordinates, it adds geo meta tags client side to the page.

This allows people using firefox extensions for geo meta data e.g. Nearby
(see link)
