Use [[:de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Georeferenzierung/Wikipedia-World/en#Maybe-Checker|Maybe-Checker]]: verify and/or add coordinates to articles in categories likely to need coordinates.

* Make better examples, also showing use of decimals and scale.
* Add an attribute for <del>other planets and the moon and probably also</del> star maps.
* Extend NASA World Wind support to include layers (by type) and labels.
* Rewrite the article [[Geographic coordinate system]] linked from many coordinates. Related articles: [[latitude]], [[longitude]].
* Convert existing data to templates
**Identify special formats not yet converted, e.g. E12 23 54 N23 34 52
*Clean up / reduce redundancy in U.S. city articles (rambot/smackbot generated), see [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/Archive 25#Coordinates in US cities articles: where to display|past discussion]]
