- Add any shorthand I may have missed. Codes may be ambiguous if the context is clear.. i.e. graticules on the border to Indiana won't confuse "IN" with India.
- Needed: - a list of ISO/Zip codes for Canadian states
Do you mean postal codes for Canadian provinces and territories? (We don't have states). We have very detailed postal codes, but I could give you the letters they start with for each province. -Robyn
- Yes, any commonly recognized (among Canadians) two- or three-letter code would do nicely. Unless you'd say that having the full name written out in the Canadian graticule templates isn't that bad after all. ;) -- relet 19:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

- Québec should be PQ (Province du Québec), not QC :). --Meghan 22:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- No Meghan, it was changed years ago, because Québec objected to being singled out for the imperialistic reminder that it was a province not a sovereign nation. official list -Robyn 22:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

- Todo: - check that the country names listed correspond to the ones actually used as categories in the wiki.
