I'd like to write a program for my mobile phone, GPS equipped, which allows user to know which places around him are described on wikipedia.
I just discovered this site, and I think it could be very useful for my project, but I need a bit of help:

how could I build and run a query which gives out as result the complete list of wikipedia pages (in any language) containing coordinates references? I know about the tag {{coord}}, but maybe there are other ones.

thanks.

There are a nearly an infinite number of tags or templates used in wikipedia.
"the complete list of wikipedia pages (in any language)" is an impossible task. You have to aim lower.
