Around a year ago i create T89703 according to the missing nearby feature. It is somehow a duplicate of this ticket. Just from experience i learnt that it is very hard to discuss and motivate local admins in the different wikis to work on required changes to that the coordinates are properly exposed. Only in Armenian Wikipedia i reached that goal with help of a use i know very well. That is the reason why i gave up and proposed the following four approaches to tackle the problem :
- Someone with more power than me pushes/motivates/supports local admins of the related Wikis to do the required changes in there templates
- Coordinates template is somehow standardized so that it must be used on every Wiki
- Wiki-Api returns available coordinates of the related Wikidata item if no coordinates on Wikipedia is available
- Wikipedia App uses Wikidata coordinates if no coordinates on Wikipedia is available
Realistically, I think only the approach 3 and 4 could fix this problem in a reasonable time. Hope that someone could work on this in the next time because i think it is an important feature especially for people not speaking the big languages.
