"Place Categories" Or "Location Categories"
All right, normally I believe in fulfilling one proposal before beginning another (see my earlier proposal on minor Super Mario Sunshine locations), and this is more of a minor thing, though I do feel it is important. In fact, I came across it while I was beginning to turn the locations into actual articles. When we have categories for locations in a certain game or series, we always refer to them as "locations" or simply "places" - for instance, Category:WarioWare Gold Places and Category:Super Mario 64 Locations. Though their definitions are virtually the same, each referring to a specific or particular area, this does create an issue with inconsistency. Normally I would switch every instance of this to Category:Locations, though I first wanted to check if this would be necessary, as well as if most of you would prefer Category:Places instead.

Would you prefer every instance being referred to as Category:Locations, or Category:Places? Or do you believe this is unnecessary and prefer neither option? I would prefer the first option as way more categories are referred to as locations rather than places, and would be easier and more efficient to enact.

Sorry if the phrasing here is awkward. I'll be working on my previous proposal in the meanwhile.

Locations

 * 1) For the reason mentioned above.
 * 2) This is my preferred option though it would be inconsistent with List of places.
 * 3) Maybe it's just me, but "places" feels a little too casual.
 * 4) Per Waluigi Time.
 * 5) Seems more formal.
 * 6) Prefer the less colloquial version so yeah.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per proposal and especially Keyblade Master. Whenever I run wikis, I always used the word "Locations" rather than "Places".

Comments
@Hewer: I think there could be another proposal on whether or not to move List of places to "List of locations", which if "Locations" is chosen for the categorizing would keep the consistency in the terms. 18:27, April 8, 2021 (EDT)
