Line 75:

* '''Alternative: rename''' [[:Category:Place of residence user templates]] to [[:Category:City user templates]], then the difference becomes a lot clearer. The parent category also contains regional and country user templates. I have tagged [[:Category:Place of residence user templates]] for that purpose.

* '''Support''' [[:Category:Place of residence user templates]] should be renamed to [[:Category:City user templates]], this would make it clear to people what this category is for.[[User:Catfurball|Catfurball]] ([[User talk:Catfurball|talk]]) 20:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

::* {{U|Marcocapelle}} and {{u|Catfurball}}, what do you think of [[:Category:Place of origin user templates]]? Maybe there ought to be a much wider discussion? —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 20:47, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

::* I would certainly remove the words "origin" and "residence" from these category names, since the templates do not contain those words either. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 20:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

:::* {{re|Marcocapelle}} what do you mean by {{tq|remove the words "origin" and "residence"}}? Are you suggesting we merge the two category trees ([[:Category:Residence user templates]] and [[:Category:Place of origin user templates]]? This does however, put in question whole [[:Category:Location user templates]] subtree in question—but this should be a separate discussion. —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 21:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

:::* About {{tq|the templates do not contain those words either}}: the template names do not contain the words "origin" and "residence", but texts of userboxes do have "hails from", "was born in", "lives in", and other relevant phrases relating to a place being a place of origin or residence. Some templates, however, are either worded ambigously or allow customization of the verb phrase, and thus are placed in both categories. —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 21:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

*{{ping|Andrybak}} [[:Category:Place of origin user templates]] is very confusing to me, it needs to be cleaned up by someone somehow.[[User:Catfurball|Catfurball]] ([[User talk:Catfurball|talk]]) 20:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
