This tool helps you fill in the place attributes like county, country, ..., by allowing you to select the places you work on, and do changes on all these places with one button click.
{{man note|Note:|The geonames data of popular places is in English, so e.g. municipalities in Italy will be found, but Roma not, as this is Rome in English. To find data with these you need to search in the localised variants of the name (see below)}}

If you still use Gramps 2.2.5+, then you will need version 1.0 of the Place Completion Tool. You find it at [http://cage.ugent.be/~bm/varia/placecompletion_1_0.tar.gz placecompletion_1_0.tar.gz].
== Issues ==
* None of the Actons in the tool work for Apple Mac {{bug|10004}}
* For Gramps 5.x series please see notes [https://github.com/gramps-project/addons-source/pull/107 here]
** The most concerning is that this tool is quite outdated in our current place structure (for Gramps 5.x). While it works, the title change capability is of little utility for those users who use the automatic place title function. The new place hierarchy largely eliminates the need for this tool. Information is no longer duplicated, so we no longer get inconsistencies which need fixing. Also changes to all titles lower in the hierarchy can now be made by changing the name of a single place.
** The whole tool is useless unless the user has already manually enclosed his places.(for Gramps 5.x)
** The user can still use it for Lat/Long creation and update.(for Gramps 5.x)
