[edit] Categories
The parent category is Category:Municipalities of Switzerland. Some cantonal subcategories exist, others should be created as needed.
Category:Municipalities of Aargau Category:Municipalities of Berne Category:Municipalities of the Canton of Geneva Category:Municipalities of Nidwalden Category:Municipalities of Obwalden Category:Municipalities of Schaffhausen Category:Municipalities of the canton of St. Gallen Category:Municipalities of the canton of Vaud
Cities should also go to Category:Cities in Switzerland, articles on villages that are not independent municipalities should either be merged with the article on their municipality, or put into Category:Villages in Switzerland.

[edit] Information
The stub articles should contain as much information as possible. So far, the following information has been collected:
- Municipality names
- Canton
- Population
- Location
- Website
The following information still needs to be collected:
- Height
- Bezirk
- Kreis
- Surface area
- Population density (can be calculated)
It would be great if we would be able to get census data.

All municipality stubs appear to have now been created, thanks to all those who participated. The next step would appear to be to finish the district articles.
