Bug ID: 62009 Summary: Add coordinates to harvest_template Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Wikidata Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: maarten@mdammers.nl Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

We still have a lot of items on Wikidata that don't have coordinates. Would be nice to be able to import them. I did this with some bots, but would of course be nicer to have a generic bot so more people can help out.

How to fetch the data is going to be fun. We have all sorts of fields that need to be combined: * It can be in decimal notation, than we have to combine the lat and lon fields * It can be in deg/min/sec/direction notation, than we have up to 8 fields to handle. * Probably other variants in the wild

Maybe add some field options so we can do <somefield> "P625|<keyword". Than we would have keywords like * lat - The latitude, either just a degree or with some decimals * lanmin - Minutes to be added to the latitude * latsec - Seconds to be added to the latitude * latdir - Direction for the latitude. Different languages might have different things here

For lon the same things (lon, lonmin, lonsec, londir)
