The general {{location}} infobox template can be used to describe locations that cannot be better described by other location templates, such as:

  • {{nation}} for nations, kingdoms, etc.
  • {{settlement}} for cities, villages, etc.
  • {{architecture}} for buildings
  • {{geography}} for features of the landscape, such as rivers, mountains, and lakes
