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)
