The only actual difference would be on the infobox: if we switch to Location, we loose the "used by" parameter, but I don't see it as a major loss. Maybe a small rewording of the intro as well. That said, I'd support changing the infobox to Location. Any opinions on the matter?

:I think the lead itself is fine either way. Maybe the second sentence could be changed to "the [[swimming pool]] ''here''", if you want the "TARDIS swimming pool" to somehow mean the place where the actual, physical swimming pool is located. Are you suggesting that the "TARDIS swimming pool" covered here is the ''room'' with the swimming pool? Also, infobox aside, is there any particular reason, it can't be both, with regards to the categories? If I created [[:category:Swimming pools]], and put it under, let's say, [[:category:Containers|Containers]] and [[:category:Recreation and leisure|Recreation and leisure]], I absolutely ''would'' include this, while still maintaining [[:category:Locations visited by the Eleventh Doctor]].{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:45, February 20, 2017 (UTC)

Location or Object?

Ok, we just had a similar discussion on the List of Appearances page, but I thought best to bring this here again, because it get's a bit trickier here:

The Infobox and the intro treat this as an object, but the Categories claim this a location. Not a major inconsistency, but one nevertheless. So, once and for all, which is this: Object or location?

The only actual difference would be on the infobox: if we switch to Location, we loose the "used by" parameter, but I don't see it as a major loss. Maybe a small rewording of the intro as well. That said, I'd support changing the infobox to Location. Any opinions on the matter? OncomingStorm12th 02:22, February 20, 2017 (UTC)

I think the lead itself is fine either way. Maybe the second sentence could be changed to "the swimming pool here", if you want the "TARDIS swimming pool" to somehow mean the place where the actual, physical swimming pool is located. Are you suggesting that the "TARDIS swimming pool" covered here is the room with the swimming pool? Also, infobox aside, is there any particular reason, it can't be both, with regards to the categories? If I created category:Swimming pools, and put it under, let's say, Containers and Recreation and leisure, I absolutely would include this, while still maintaining category:Locations visited by the Eleventh Doctor.

All that said, I think the infobox should be changed to {{Infobox Location}}.
