[edit] Purpose

This template exists for Towns and Villages only. Not for non-specific geographical areas or estates.

[edit] Usage

Insert the following code into your page:

{{stockton}}

[edit] Proposition

I propose this template is expanded to cover suburbs and other such areas. A large proportion of Stockton is made up of suburbs such as Hardwick and Ingleby Barwick and I see no reason why it should not be made easier for both editors and users to reach pages concerning other areas in the Stockton area.--Super Ted 10:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that this would cause the template to become so cluttered with information that it is impossible to use. There are hundreds of things that I considered to go in this (i.e the hamlet of Low Leven), but decided that to keep it consise it was best to keep this template strictly to towns and villages. The template is already bigger than I would have liked with just towns and villages, because as I added them I found there were more than I first thought. Andrew Duffell 23:29, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Sounds fair, but I suspect this is just a question of formatting. I just feel that it is unacceptable that large settlements are not linked to. When I get chance I will look at reformatting the template so it is easier to include more information. I've seen plenty of large templates and will have a look round for inspiration! Any help you could give populating the template once I've carried out the changes will be much appreciated.--Super Ted 11:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeh, good call. I was actually thinking about that last night. Perhaps we could have headings for Towns, Villages, Hamlets, Large Estates/Settlements etc...
Feel free to try some stuff out. Andrew Duffell 12:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Can I suggest we try out stuff on this page: Template:Stockton/new
Sounds fine to me. Will take a look around other pages when I get chance and make some changes. We'll also have to make sure any changes we make doesn't mess up the formatting of existing pages.

Thanks for the help! --Super Ted 07:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
