When trying to install PostGIS on Postgres, do I need to chain my database URL references like so?

Or do I simply reference the PostGIS extension? Is the PostGIS template a fully fledged database with the extension enabled? A migration of mine is failing which starts with the following:
```
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis;
```

Hello,
We do not support installing postgis on existing databases, you would need to deploy the PostGIS template into your project and use that database instead.
Best,

Would the team consider renaming the template to "Postgres + PostGIS"? I think that rename would be better DX. Also, I'm seeing this error message despite the template instantiating with these variables. The database is up and running as expected. Is this error safe to ignore?
