Description
well to add the new function to create a wikipedia-template for coord/coordinate.
but when you include this into commons wikipedia you get a message that key-words are out of order - right words?
correct:
old: coord => new: location (position of camera and orientation)
old: coordinate => new: object location (position of object)
result of asking in commons-discussion-group (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum#Template_f.C3.BCr_die_Geocoordinaten - german)

The problem is not clearly stated here.
Wikimedia Commons does not use the same geocoding templates as Wikipedia.
As they are mostly used with photographs, Commons propose two kinds of templates:
- point of view location. This is where the photo has been taken, and the two templates are
{{location}}
(DMS coordinates) and{{location dec}}
(Decimal coordinates). - object location. This is the location of the photographed object. Two similar templates exist:
{{object location}}
and{{object location dec}}
.
So it would be useful to provide a function for {{location dec}}
and {{object location dec}}
(as we are familiar with these coordinates with OSM) for Wikimedia Commons.
