Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Filming locations inside Sydney

2 places inside Sydney, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Sydney too.

Set here

Video games and Anime that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Sydney, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
