Locations and related stuff

Should the Locations template include video games? Not just for the inclusion of the general JP / US cities, but also of the occasional place that isn't that.

Also how come no flags? Sorry for bombarding the wiki with them, but Im just curious for the reason.

I think the locations template just kinda sucks in general and needs an update like the vehicles one.

The Real Skronk (talkcontribs)

If a large number of changes is required, I recommend ordering the locations in each section by alphabetical order. Organizing these cities and especially landmarks becomes much easier

The flags were, more than anything, a formatting nightmare. I agree that the Locations template needs an overhaul though; sorting by eras leads to a ton of redundancies. Coincidentally, staff have been working on a scope for locations which we should be ready to introduce soon...

Fair, the flags did look horrible on the page itself.

Also re:flags, we already have the template {{Flag}} which is loaded with world flags. An idea I had to make use of them was to create a country infobox that could include the flag in the corner or something, like the trademark icons on the kaiju infobox.

I would like to make a sandbox page for a proposal for this infobox, if it is okay

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

That's fine.

I'm starting to go through the new location pages, and while I think it's great that we're filling in the world, some of them have tense issues and glaring typos that should have been caught before they were promoted from sandboxes. This isn't a race; please don't rush.

The Real Skronk (talkcontribs)

Apologies. I'll re-visit them again and correct the mistakes.

Also, while it's fine to derive location summaries from existing story summaries, simply copying them over can result in excessive detail, e.g. the Godzilla Rivals: Mothra Vs. Hedorah section of the Iceland page.
