:::I do not think we need that. We are too small to work with different city templates for each country. Does not look sustainable to me. One working template for settlements of any kind is enough. Please do not go to importing blindly anything that has been dumped into any of our entries. Lets have some reasoning about what we need.

:::: I am all for reasoning. What is your concern here? The risk of vandalism when we have, say 240, location map templates? Essentially these type of templates perform a database function and are designed to reduce workload. There are suggestions of better ways to do things, including a separate data wiki, or an interwiki resource for templates like commons. These need commitment from the WMF to happen, so they are currently pipe-dreams. I am interested in (among other things) a simple to use Wiki in any language, and believe that templates are one way of doing this. They can also share effort across many languages. This approach is used on the Nepali Wikipedia, for example. '''''[[Majadiliano ya mtumiaji:Rich Farmbrough|Rich Farmbrough]]''''' <small></small>
