New template
[edit]Looks good! Thanks for the quick turnaround. My own question is about the "category parameter"? Could you supply some sample usage? Thanks. :) --Elonka 03:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- The template I cloned this from had an optional category parameter, so I left the option in. Can't think of a use for it atm, but who knows, maybe there will be in the future. JYolkowski // talk 23:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Split?
[edit]I think that this template should be split into two: {{local}} and a generalized version called {{cleanup-verifiability}}. Here's what cleanup-verifiability would look like:

Broaden scope - should not be limited to "places"
[edit]The limitation of this template and its category to "places" is undesirable. The issue reported by the template often affects other local-interest material, e.g. local politicians and other "figures", events, amateur sports teams, businesses, etc. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 13:51, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Unactionable template
[edit]This template is throwing stuff at the wall, and not even waiting to see if anything sticks. Deletion seems in order, although there was a suggestion above to do some kind of a split. Unscintillating (talk) 00:45, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
