User:Erin Umbreon/Sandbox/Convert coordinate

Description

Formats a sequence of (X, Y, Z) coordinates to pretty-formatted text.

For backwards compatibility, coordinates can be passed either as individual parameters, or separated by commas in a single parameter. The single-parameter form is discouraged, as it can cause bugs when handling number formats that use commas for decimal separators (this can occur when the coordinate values come from a Semantic MediaWiki query).

{{convert coordinate|<x>|<y>|<z>}}

{{convert coordinate|<x>, <y>, <z>}}

Parameters

x

The X coordinate. Required. Decimals are allowed.

y

The Y coordinate. Required. Decimals are allowed.

z

The Z coordinate. Optional. Decimals are allowed.

Example

{{convert coordinate|9.22|8}}

(X:9.22, Y:8)

{{convert coordinate|12|8.54|5}}

(X:12, Y:8.54, Z:5)

{{convert coordinate|12, 8.54, 5}}

(X:12, Y:8.54, Z:5)

Examples of what happens when numbers with commas as decimal separators are passed in each form:

{{convert coordinate|12|8,54|5}}

(X:12, Y:8,54, Z:5)

{{convert coordinate|12, 8,54, 5}}

(X:12, Y:8, Z:54) (this is incorrect output)
