I've noticed that several location pages around the wiki have not got location infoboxes in use. I was going to put on on locations such as London, but I'm not sure about the residents section. Should I simply leave it empty, since there are so many people, or is there an article or category listing people who have lived in London? The Thirteenth Doctor 18:23, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- The location infobox is not a favourite of mine, several locations don't have the length to justify the infobox, while others are far too broad for the infobox to be of use.
- I'd advise not to use it at all, looking through the pages that it is used on none of them are really need the infobox.
- Also given the past-tense nature of our in-universe articles the section for 'inhabitants' would need to have a date attached (for something like Wenley Moor, if it had an infobox there'd need to be at least 2 for inhabitants the Silurians...whenever they inhabited and humans). Era is another field, if we're applying it to a page, the article might detail a long length of time.
- I'd actually just be for removing the locations infobox completely. --Tangerineduel 14:44, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
