:::* {{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)

::::* Yes, while you're pointing to [[:Category:Location user templates]], I realize that [[:Category:Residence user templates]] can perfectly well be merged to that category, as the more general ___location category, while [[:Category:Place of residence user templates]] can still be renamed to [[:Category:City user templates]] so that it has a more specific purpose namely cities. The whole distinction between origin and residence is redundant and confusing. Wp editors will use city templates when the city applies to them, regardless origin, having lived there or still living there.

*{{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)
