Category:Location not applicable

This is a category for images and galleries for which a geocoded location isn't possible, isn't useful, or would otherwise not make sense. Don't ever add this category to files with EXIF, instead use either {{GPS EXIF ambiguous}} or {{Location withheld}}.

Things which should be included in this category are images of abstract concepts such as mathematical illustrations as well as generic objects without an identifiable surrounding such as a fork or a person.

This category is mutually exclusive with Category: Media with locations.

This category has several applications:

  1. Building lists of things which still need to be geocoded, since ideally every item would either be a member of this category or have a location.
  2. Searching for items which do or don't have a location (e.g. with CatScan or Tools:~para/GeoCommons/geocodingtodo.php, note: the latter probably does not use subcategories of this category)
  3. Detecting geocoding vandalism.
