  • Integer coordinates take the form LAT,LONG
    • Coordinates are signed numbers, specified as distance from 0: 38.2355 latitude, -78.1950 longitude
    • There is both a 0 and a -0 longitude (program accordingly!)
  • Graticule pages are named in a human-readable fashion: Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
    • The coordinates of a graticule are defined by taking the floor of the magnitude of the contained coordinates, and retaining the sign: 38.2355 latitude, -78.1950 longitude becomes 38, -78
    • Integer coordinates should redirect to those: 38,-78 -> Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
    • Legacy coordinate redirects have a space instead of a comma: 38 -78
  • Meetup pages take the form YYYY-MM-DD LAT LONG: 2008-05-24 38 -78
  • Date pages take the form YYYY-MM-DD: 2008-05-24
