Would the project prefer {{Unsourced|England|Devon}} - which puts the profile in the England, Unsourced Profiles category and the Devon, Unsourced Profiles categories as well as the Unsourced Profiles category - or just {{Unsourced|Devon}}?

If we are trying to get the errors down to the county level, then just {{Unsourced|Devon}} works just fine. But Gill's original question in the Data Doctors google group is what triggers an error when you put two counties in the template? (separated by | )
by Jo Fitz-Henry G2G6 Pilot (199k points)
I think that was answered - it wasn't just the two counties but also England, and the template only supports two parameters, not three.
The error was caused by three parameters. Two different ones are fine but having three put up the error. It doesn't throw an error to have {{unsourced|England|Devon}} but the example had {{unsourced|England|Devon|Wiltshire}}.  which is three parameters.
But the discussion in another forum that preceded this question wasn't made apparent in this G2G question. It wasn't a question of what we preferred, it was what we could do without triggering an error.
You're right Jo, I wasn't clear.

The question came up asking if "{{Unsourced|England|Devon}}" was correct & I went looking to see if England Project said whether or not to include the country or just the county. Since I didn't find an answer, I asked here.

However, in the Google Group discussion you referred to (I think - I don't recall who the OG was), Aleš has since posted a reply to use just the lowest location, so {{Unsourced|Devon}} is correct, not {{Unsourced|England|Devon}}
