Purpose

The Location template provides a standardized infobox for any location within the Continuum Universes setting — including planets, cities, districts, regions, and stations. It replaces multiple narrow templates with one flexible, universal format compatible with both real and in-universe locations.

Usage

Place the template at the top of an article about a location.
