I've been puttering with cleaning up the location articles. The template lines mostly. And I've been wondering... Do all of the layer fields have to be included?

To me it seems odd/awkward to include
 * Galaxy                 = Milky Way
 * Sector                 = 2814 (Yes, I've see this in place and it categorizes into the Category:Sector 2814)
 * StarSystem             = Sol
 * Planet                 = Earth

For continents, countries, provinces/states, cities, and locations on Earth. I'm not even 100% sure "Continent" is needed for province/state or lower if the country is in place.

And a few slight tangents:
 * Are we "filling in" locations not explicitly mentioned in comcs? Examples of this are:
 * Instances where a secondary source provides a state/province that a city is located in, but the comics only references the city and/or the country.
 * Some editors have created brief history sections for real world countries that list, and red link to, neighboring countries.
 * How far are layering in the appearance sections, and are adding an appearance category for each layer? For example, an issue is set entirely in in Smallvile, which would we use:
 * *  :*   ::
 * * United States of America :* Kansas  ::    or
 * *
