Completely pointless template which is a wrapper of itself, which requires an additional bot edit to replace. Seeing that it still has the unsupported parameters in it, I don't think this is even used (haven't seen pages using this template added to the error categories recently).

- It wasn't pointless when it was created, except someone deleted the documentation. It was intended to be a shortcut for adding the WPBio with living=yes template. In any case, if no one is using it, feel free to delete it, but not because it's "completely pointless". Legoktm (talk) 05:17, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- It is completely pointless in its current state as it not only doesn't add anything of value, but it also places the pages in error categories. I didn't comment on how the template was in 2012, so you should stop being offended by something unrelated to you. Gonnym (talk) 15:47, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Earth's location (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:LocationOfEarth-ImageMap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Earth's location with Template:LocationOfEarth-ImageMap.
Not sure if this is the best template to merge to, but we already have many templates on this one here. Interstellarity (talk) 00:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, the text template seems much easier to understand and navigate. Keeping these templates separate presents two ways of processing information. Unless they are merged in a very good navigational manner. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Single-use template which does no computation. Wikitext is more understandable if we don't use this template. Therefore, subst and delete this self-operating napkin. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 07:11, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: category namespace templates like this are actually much more useful then manual text, as it just requires copy/pasting these into new pages and everything is handled. This specific one is less helpful as it lacks documentation and features. Gonnym (talk) 10:37, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- I agree wholeheartedly that in general these templates are helpful. I think this specific one is not. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 05:08, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
