Advice for German location categorization of Schneider-10290?

Question

I would like advice or may need help creating new historical location categories for the profile of Maria Regina (Schneider) Appel. The categories might be named something like Obermoos, Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt, Heiliges Römisches Reich and Obermoos, Großherzogtum Hessen und bei Rhein, Deutscher Bund. Based on the sources cited on the profile, other possible spellings for the town name appear to be Ober-Moos (also in Wikipedia), OberMoos, and Ober Moos. Please note that this location is not the hamlet Obermoos in Lower Bavaria.

There doesn't appear to be an existing category to use. Could I get help creating the new category? Thank you!

Edited: updated post title to include "German location"

Answer 1

I don't know about historical categories, I think they're still work in progress. For the moment I've created a category for Ober-Moos and put into an also created category Freiensteinau.

Thanks, Flo!

Hi Flo,

Thanks again for your help with the German location categories!

I created additional location categories for 2 neighboring locations (Nieder-Moos and Radmühl) that are also locations within Freiensteinau (copying the Ober-Moos Location CIB info into the new categories and updating each with the appropriate WikiData number for each location).

I noticed that English language Wikipedia pages for those 3 locations do not exist, so the Wikipedia link from each associated category page doesn't work. Should we add the "lang=de" parameter to the Location CIB to point to the existing German language Wikipedia pages in those cases?

Also I noticed that the Location CIB Template info recommends using the "coordinate=" parameter (Usage=Preferred). Should we use the "coordinate=" parameter to add the latitude and longitude of the locations which are available through the WikiData pages?

Wow. Cool. That's how you make answering questions really useful :) Your suggestion with the lang parameter sounds good. If you want, you can also add coordinates. I kind of refused, because we need them in a different notation than WikiData offers them ;)

Thanks! I added the lang and coordinate parameter data to those 3 categories.

For the decimal version of the geo coordinates, I usually scroll to the "coordinate location" section of the English Wikidata page, where I can click on the coordinates link under the map. That opens a GeoHack page from which I can copy/paste the decimal representations of the geo coordinates from the top right corner.

Wanted to write "still too much effort to copy those". But then I decided to write a small bookmarklet that creates me the template code including coordinates and WikiData reference, when I'm on an article in German Wikipedia:
