Its a wiki and ppl change it at will and worse nobody checks and updates it. The above seems to be an old idea to make sure tha the key does not yet exist. In contrast to --locate-key --locate-external-key loads the key from external resources even if it already exists. Thus this is a refresh key function. Some folks don't like to clutter their keyring with more keys and thus use a temporary GNUPGHOME directory (i..e --homedir). For me the above works: $ gpg --homedir "$(mktemp -d)" --verbose --locate-keys [email protected] [...] gpg: pub ed25519/63113AE866587D0A 2018-09-28 [email protected] gpg: key 63113AE866587D0A: public key "[email protected]" imported gpg: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent' gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ...

Without any option you just get an returns status for scripting. Now someone(tm) should update the wiki.
