I think that you described well, why we need some guidelines about this. When editors see more locations used they eventually add them to everywhere. It feels natural to improve pages by adding information. I've done that also but in many situations it's better to remove or rearrange the content. For example, many characters have a huge Relatives field in the infobox which are unreadable, collapsed or not.

I agree with everything that GrnMarvl14 wrote and thought that it would be helpful to write a draft for a guideline to continue the discussion. I think it should be added to Help:Template Fields. I want to emphasize that it's not meant to be strictly enforced policy but a general guideline instead. There are so many different situations which require different approach. "Appearances should be added to bulleted lists using appropriate Comic Appearance Templates . Lists should be nested when needed but nesting shouldn't be too excessive. Locations which aren't needed for getting appearances right, should be added only when they help the reader. Usually it's beneficial to add a well-known location like city, country or state to the list if the location itself is less known." Now we have to think how we add there these special cases like country level nesting. I would like to add that locations Planet Earth and Earth-616 are almost always too excessive like Humans for Race.
