coordinate_import.py is a script to mass import coordinates from Wikipedia to WikidataWikibase.

Concept

On Wikimedia wiki's GeoDataExtension:GeoData extension is installed. This adds coordinates to the api. This bot uses that information to add a claim to Wikidata. By default P625 (coordinate location) is used.

In the future the bot might support other properties as long as the property is of type globe-coordinate.

Syntax

The bot expects a generator:

python coordinate_import.py <some generator>
