== Coordinate conversion problem ==
Hi, sorry for late report of problem but I am catching-up from the Christmas break. In [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bradford_Cathedral&diff=756402149&oldid=756389026 this change] the bot appears to have left in the parameters {{para|coordinates format}}, {{para|coordinates display}} and {{para|iso region}} in the Infobox. It also appears to have changed the display option away from that which is specified in the {{para|coordinates display}} parameter and completely ignored the {{para|iso region}} parameter which is missing from the {{tl|coord}} template. Regards
[[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D|talk]]) 22:51, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
: The configuration had underscores instead of spaces in the parameter names ([[Special:Diff/758690234|fixed]]), so they were completely ignored. I will work through the ones with issues and correct them. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 00:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

== Bot problem ==
In [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=China&diff=759038468&oldid=758932100 this edt] your bot correctly changes lat/long to {{tl|coord}}, in {{tl|infobox country}}, but sets the type to ''city'' instead of the obvious and more appropriate ''country''. I’ve corrected that particular instance of it but don’t know if there’s a wider issue.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 23:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
: {{Reply to|JohnBlackburne}} The coordinates are for the country's capital, not the country itself. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 23:32, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
::Ah, you are right. I was confusing them with the coordinates that appear at the top of the article, as I assumed that’s what they did, as the 'coordinates' in 'infobox country'. I had not noticed the ones associated with the capital. Still seems odd it works like that, but I follow it now.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 00:00, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

== Checkuser template change ==
{{hatnote|{{tfd links|Checkuser}}}}
Hey, apparently your change impacted a script I use. The script puts a strike through a user's name if the user is blocked. It's still working in other places, e.g., my watchlist, but at SPI it doesn't work on the checkuser template. If you can fix the template so the strike-through works again ''and'' it doesn't ping the user, great. Otherwise, the strike-through is more important to me than eliminating the notification. Thanks.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 15:42, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
: {{Reply to|Bbb23}} The change prevents pinging and the strikethrough. (They both work based on a wikilink to the userpage.) The talk and contribs links in the template should still have the strikethrough though. If those links having strikethrough is not sufficient, I will revert the change. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 18:41, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
::I noticed the talk and contribs links strike-throughs. It's not as prominent (I often move quickly), though, and it's (a) different from what I'm used to and (b) different from the other pages. Let me think on it a bit, and I'll let you know. Thanks for all your help.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 18:45, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Hi again. I've decided I prefer it the way it was. Please revert your change. Sorry for all the trouble.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 00:15, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

== CFB North Bay Page ==
Good day.  I'm replying to your question about copyright of the photograph of the F.3 flying boat, on the Red River, Manitoba, in October 1920.  The image is from the Canadian federal government (specifically the Department of National Defence archives), therefore in accordance with the Canadian 50 year rule on government photographs the image no longer has a copyright, is in the public domain.  Thanks.  [[User:22WHERO|22WHERO]] ([[User talk:22WHERO|talk]]) 19:46, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
: {{Reply to|22WHERO}} Could you point to where I asked about the photo's copyright? I haven't edited {{pagelinks|CFB North Bay}} or your talk page. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 20:06, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
:: My bad.  It was another address.  I'd transcribed your address from your revision of the page's update on 3:03 12 Jan 2017 and the address of the intended recipient, who sent the query to me, on the same notepad.  I'll ensure to pay better attention in the future.  Cheers. [[User:22WHERO|22WHERO]] ([[User talk:22WHERO|talk]]) 20:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

== Geobox ==
I added support for {{para|coordinates}}, {{para|capital_coordinates}}, {{para|highest_coordinates}}, {{para|lowest_coordinates}}, {{para|source_coordinates}}, {{para|source1_coordinates}}, {{para|source2_coordinates}}, {{para|source_confluence_coordinates}}, {{para|management_coordinates}}, and {{para|government_coordinates}} to {{tl|geobox}} (search the geobox code for coord= to find them all).  the core code is in {{tl|geobox2 coor}} which is called by {{tl|geobox}}.  when converting transclusions to the new format, {{para|display|inline,title}} should be added to the coordinates passed through {{para|coordinates}}, if it exists, otherwise added to {{para|mouth_coordinates}}, otherwise added to {{para|capital_coordinates}}.  however, if {{para|coordinates_no_title}} is non-empty, then {{para|display|inline,title}} should be added to none of them.  the {{tl|geobox2 coor}} template uses {{tl|geobox2 coor type}} to determine the region: and type: for the coordinates.  I may need to tweak the insert code in {{tl|geobox2 coor}} if there is a problem with how the default and override works. let me know if you see any problems.

== Template:Infobox Municipality PT ==
You just took the latd/longd parameters out of [[:Template:Infobox Municipality PT]], but the articles have not been converted yet. Did you mean to edit [[Template:Infobox Municipality BR]] instead? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 05:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

== Minor bot error in coord template ==
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Roseto_degli_Abruzzi&type=revision&diff=761444203&oldid=726647547 Take a look at this output] from the bot. <code>type:region:IT_type:city(24230)</code> is not right. I think I see how it happened, but regardless, it's an error. I don't know how many edits made it through like this, but there is [https://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/view/File_viewer#log:coord-enwiki.log an error report] of all coord syntax errors available. I'll try to make you a list from that report. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 06:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Jonesey95/sandbox3&oldid=762028089 Here's a list, sorted in a way that made sense to me.] I imagine you have the tools to do text processing on this list, but if not, let me know if you want the list of articles in a different way. I removed a bunch of articles from the report to make this list, narrowing down to only the "too many colons" errors. I suspect that all, or nearly all, of the errors are the result of the bot's edits, based on the type of error and the types of articles.  – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 06:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:: [[Special:Diff/761854972|I noticed that]]. It is due to {{para|coodinates_type}} being mapped to {{tl|geobox coor}}'s {{para|9}} instead of {{para|type}}, as the name suggests. ({{tlc|[[Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Geobox coor/sandbox|geobox coor/sandbox.*]]}}'s {{para|type}} adds {{code|type:}}. {{para|coordinates_parameters}} would have been a better name.) I still need to fix some of the bot configs after double checking the infoboxes. {{Search|insource:/\"type\": \"coor/ prefix:User:JJMC89 bot/config/InfoboxCoordinatesParametersMigrator/}} I'll write a script or bot to fix the effected pages and maybe some of the other problems in that report. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 17:17, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Sounds good. The very low number of complaints we have received so far is evidence that the bot is doing great work. The minor problems have typically been quirks in the individual templates that we needed to adjust or account for, rather than problems with the bot. Keep it up. 
:::It will be nice to get these settlement articles behind us, but I think we have at least another month of bot edits before we are done (max 10,000 edits per day on something over 200,000 articles, I think). – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

== Small bot issue ==
Not a big problem but on [[Turgon, Charente]], [[Chemillé-Melay]] and [[Bussac-Forêt]] the bot introduced errors, as {{tl|coord}} seems a little stricter about coordinates than bare values when there's no leading zero in a decimal value less than one. It might be something you could add to the bot, as a further check. I imagine it could happen again with locations close to the Greenwich Meridian.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 17:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
: {{yo|Frietjes|Jc86035}} Could you take a look at [[Module:Coordinates]] and/or [[Module:Location map]] and adjust to allow for no leading 0 before a decimal place. Location map gives a Lua error when the leading 0 is missing ([[Special:Permalink/762525015|example]]). —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89|JJMC89]] 21:12, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
::It looks like the problem lies in Module:Coordinates (or in the coord2text thereof), based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Jonesey95/sandbox3&action=history this test in my sandbox]. I hacked the module's sandbox with possibly unintended side effects, and it was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Jonesey95/sandbox3&action=history able to extract numbers for me]. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 23:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
:::I was almost right just above. The coord2text function is replicated in Location map.

::::[[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]], I simplified the expressions in the sandbox, now they say "any sequence of digits and decimal points followed by the degree marker".  I believe the '%.' means a literal . instead of any character in [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Patterns lua patterns], but '\.' probably works too if it was working for you.  if we have something that works now, I think we can go forward and update the main modules.  note that I added the same function to geobox map, but I believe [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&search=insource%3A%2Fcoord2text%2F&ns828=1 those are the only modules].
