Forum:Locations without infoboxes

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)


 * Ok. Do you have a link to a page that shows all pages using the template, so I can start removing them? --The Thirteenth Doctor 14:50, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep it's up there where I said "looking through the pages" there's a link on the "the pages"...here's it again Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_Location anyway. --Tangerineduel 16:26, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * (slaps forehead and quotes eleventh Doctor) "I saw it. I saw it and I missed it." Thanks. --The Thirteenth Doctor 16:41, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've removed all of them bar a link to it on User:Twelfth Doctor's page, but I've left a message on his talk page. He hasn't been active since August last year, so I don't think we'll get a reply, and I didn't want to just remove it from his page. I've also put a delete tag on the template's page.
