How did you find the municipalities that missed coordinates? 78.55.250.151 07:56, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Google maps.--JohnBlackburne (talk) 08:21, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, if you are asking what motivated me, the articles on en.wp were generating errors due to missing coordinates.--JohnBlackburne (talk) 08:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, the second :-). Is there a tracking category for these errors? And do you know how to use "area" in a template that is a wrapper for infobox settlement? There are ca. 215 pages using en:Template:Infobox Venezuelan municipality several have no area data, so best to get it from WD, see example en:Valdez Municipality. There are still 100 municipalities with no article at all, creation mostly stopped in 2012, so it would be good to have an easy way of creating. 92.231.177.16 09:00, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- The category is here: en:Category:Pages with script errors. It is rather full and includes all pages; click on the link at the top for only article pages. So far all the ones in Venezuela I’ve seen I’ve been able to fix by adding coordinates to Wikidata.--JohnBlackburne (talk) 09:04, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Link on top - the API XML? Gives me one article en:Rómulo Gallegos Municipality, Cojedes. Naybe over time more will appear, pages cached and some don't yet use the recent version of infobox. 92.231.177.16 09:57, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yes that link. I just fixed that page so it should go away. Pages do not always appear immediately in the category, there can be a lag. This seems to happen when the problem is caused or fixed on Wikidata or in a template, not in the article. Other editors apart from me monitor that category, so problems are usually fixed quickly.--JohnBlackburne (talk) 10:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
