::::That's reasonable. I've restored [[Cylon listening post]] to stand as an example while we discuss it. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 13:04, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

: I believe that the template ''might'' have uses in larger articles. There isn't anything stating, at all, that the template needs to be consistently applied to each and every article on locations in the BSG universes. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:22, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

::: Perhaps I am, however as I read the discussion thus far, here's what I found. In April's reply to your comment regarding the {{tl|Character Data}} template, they state: ''None of our "location" articles are so long that this is helpful.'' So, therefore, I recognize that April believes that the infoboxes on larger pages are helpful for summarizing noteworthy information. Obviously, more views on this issue would be quite helpful, and would probably help what kind of information should be in this infobox, as that is a concern April expressed as well. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:34, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

::::Your understanding is correct. I do happen to believe that the infoboxes on [[Caroline Adama]] and [[Scylla]] are probably superfluous, but at least they contain interesting information. All this template does as of now is specify the location's name, owner, function, and... recursively, location. Since all this information should be present in the lead paragraph anyway, I think the template as currently formulated is redundant at best, and encourages loose writing at worst. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 14:02, 11 June 2006 (CDT)
