Since my area of interest and knowledge is North American, that's where I started. So, if I expand categorization of related articles, is there a function for a template? Any template for the matter? Does a template offer something that a category doesn't? Would several templates be better? i.e.,

Besides I very much doubt the usefullness of the template. If this is taken to be seriously, the content will fill more than several screens. Moreover, the content is very American, hardly any features from outside this continent are present.

Template to bring together numerous articles related to Continental Glaciation. Most glacier articles emphasize valley glaciers, which still exist, rather than the Continental Glaciers, which are limited to Greenland and the Antarctic.

I don't understand why this template includes warm stages, whereas the name suggests that this template refers to glaciations. I suggest either the name to be changed or to delete the warm/temperate stages and phenomena.

and many more. Since none of these articles talk about the physical evidence on the ground, I wanted to set-up a way for readers to locate areas that could be visited and how to recognize the signs.

Continental Time periods, Glacial Landforms, North American Glacial sites, European Glacial Sites, etc. Or are these really categories?

Between categorization and templates, the templates standout, but may or may not be the best option. I'd like some suggestions. (
