Talk:Creating a Graticule Page

"If the neighbouring graticules have names, include them. If not, you can leave them blank or link to the appropriate ocean." -> What about linking to a coordinate number page like "38, -124". This page could either be redirected to the ocean or created like this: Page name="Pacific Ocean 38 -124", content="This graticule is at 38 -124 and contains 100% water." and Category:Pacific Ocean. What I mean is, if every ocean graticule is linked directly to that ocean, it will be difficult to order them and to note any water or air geohashes done in that graticule. (Imagine a geohashing pilot doing New York-London, if he chooses his path well he can do 50 middle-of-the-ocean hashpoints in one day and his flight might only take 1 minute longer).

Pure water graticules have been pretty much ignored so far, but that's not to say that someone might not ocean geohash in the future. An ocean graticule naming scheme is definitely beyond the scope of the "creating a graticule" page so I won't expand on that here. I'll remove the suggestion to link to the ocean, just in case a lot of people doing that made trouble later. -Robyn 01:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
