Template:OS coord/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:OS coord. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template creates a link to a list of map sources. It is the same as {{coord}} but uses a UK Ordnance Survey grid reference as the coordinates.
Warning
This is an experimental facility. By all means use it, but to avoid problems when things change:
- definitely do not create any links to the external URL which this template calls
- do not use this template directly in any article
- instead use one of the templates which use this one. Or create a new template.
Usage
Use:
- {{oscoor|cc|tt}}
Where:
- cc is the grid reference in one of the formats listed below followed, optionally, by any additional parameters. For example: TQ123456_region:GB_scale:25000
- tt is the text to appear in the link.
Grid reference formats - letters are not case-sensitive:
| Great Britain | |
| 888_999 | Two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore (for consistency with {{coor title d}}) E.g.: 439668_1175316 |
| SE | Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines |
| SE16 | |
| SE1267 | |
| SE123678 | |
| SE12346789 | |
| SE1234567890 | Full "ten figure" grid reference |
| Ireland - proposed - not yet implemented | |
| i888_999 | Letter 'i' followed by two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore |
| R | Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines |
| R16 | |
| R1267 | |
| R123678 | |
| R12346789 | |
| R1234567890 | Full "ten figure" grid reference |
