ଛାଞ୍ଚ:OS coord/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ଛାଞ୍ଚ:OS coord.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ଛାଞ୍ଚ page.

This template creates a link to a list of map sources. It is the same as {{coord}} but uses a UK Ordnance Survey grid reference as the coordinates.

Warning

The external URL which this template calls has still not reached what may be considered a permanent home. To avoid problems when things change:

definitely do not create any direct links to the external URL
do not use this template directly in any article
instead use one of the templates which use this one. Or create a new template.

Usage

Use:

{{OS coord|cc|tt}}

Where:

cc is the grid reference in one of the formats listed below followed, optionally, by any additional parameters. For example: TQ123456_region:GB_scale:25000
tt is the text to appear in the link.

Grid reference formats - letters are not case-sensitive:

	Great Britain
888_999	Two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore (for consistency with {{coord}}) E.g.: Script error: No such module "Ordnance Survey coordinates".
SE	Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines. Spaces between elements are optional.
