Discussion

This task looks OK. If you've got a bit of consensus at the template talkpage then that's good; how exactly will it do it? Literally edit the page and shave the last few numbers off the coord? I like the sound of this. Rcsprinter (gas) 16:24, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trial complete. I found only a very minor error, that being [1], where the zero is left at the end. ~Feedintm^Parley 22:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
