Old description:

Whichever recent release which tightened up validation of various fields should really have offered to batch convert existing data. A contributor says:

{{{ After editing "Ha! Ha!" to add the 'Closed' category, I get the following error:

"Your input was invalid:

* os_x must be integer, was: 451023.383
* os_y must be integer, was: 206127.792

Please correct your input data and try again."

After removing the decimal part, the page saves successfully - but would it be worth your changing every page accordingly? }}}

It's probably not worth trying to add this to the official distribution now, but we could still try and tidy up oxford.
