See {{Coords/dev}}. I think it's pretty nifty.

- Nice, I will update the main template when I put the finishing touches on the instance changes if there are no objections. --Pcj (T•C) 20:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Possible to make it not include the icon, but have the zone name appear option/parameter ?

- Can you give an example? I understand the no icon part, but I'm not sure what you mean by "zone name appear option/parameter." Howbizr(t·c) 6:21 PM, 21 Jul 2009 (EDT)
- He wants an option to show only the zone name as opposed to the only the coordinates. --Pcj (T•C) 22:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Actually an option to show the zone name and coordinates, but without the icon. That way this template could be used in sentences and not add a disruptive image in the middle. (Sssss/Slithered) 22:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Check it out now. Howbizr(t·c) 7:36 PM, 21 Jul 2009 (EDT)
- On a related note, I'm thinking about another template that would call this with some predefined coordinates. So for example, {{zone|<Naxxramas>}} would simply generate "[88, 45]", so you don't have to memorize Dragonblight 88,44. This might be handy for other points of interest (maybe the template should be {{POI}} but that would probably get too big), like bosses, sub-zones, etc. Howbizr(t·c) 7:42 PM, 21 Jul 2009 (EDT)

- The change looks good, but I was thinking more of to display the the actual coords for those that have the capability of seeing coords. They way you made it is for things to see by sight (since the popup doesn't show the coords), cause personally I love seeing the coords (without highlighting over it). Awesome job though.

- Very cool. I do like the option to add additional information like the zone name or the icon. However, I am not so sure about taking away the display of the coordinates themselves. Especially if omitting that function would eliminate the need for the equals sign. Wige (T - C) 18:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Considering the different states were designed to be mutually exclusive, it's probably not a bad thing to consider. However, if I made it a state without an equal sign, the order of the parameters would be required. Currently,
- {{co|zone=|50|50|Un'goro}} works just as well as {{co|50|50|Un'goro}}. Without equals it would be more like {{co|50|50|Un'goro|zone}} would be the only way to go. Howbizr(t·c) 5:14 PM, 22 Jul 2009 (EDT)
