Bot for writing current coordinates

I saw that you are responsable for automatically updating the front page. I assume this means that you have a bot which calculates the coordinates and inserts them onto the front page. Would it be possible to have your bot also create a template that contains just the coordinates for a given day? For examply, it could create Template:Coords06-13-2008 that would take Lat and Long as input. That way, for setting up pages about a specific graticule on a specific day, we could just put in a string that is something like {{Coords2008-06-13|Lat=42|Long=71}} instead of having to copy and paste from the reference implementation. If you wanted to get fancy, you could even have the bot update a master template that uses if statements to lookup a certain day's coordinates, so that we would just have to call {{Coordinates|Date=2008-06-13|Lat=42|Long=71}}.--Ahecht 15:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
