One thing: don't make the infobox article-specific. So there are two cases that should happen:

  1. We decide not to merge Vilnius with Vilnius city municipality - we should use {{infobox Lithuanian city}}. We could modify the infobox to accomodate a picture or other features.
  2. We decide to merge all city municipality articles with city articles - then we need a new infobox that would work for the 9 (I believe) cities that are also municipalities.

Go with whatever, but I am kinda for the second option. Thoughts? Renata 18:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering why we should not have different design for capital city infobox? M.K. 18:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Um, consistency? Because then why not have a different box for Klaipeda - it's the only port after all. And how can we use the generic box for Palanga, such a popular resort? And Visaginas demands its own autonomy... In short, less exceptions is better. Renata 20:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I see, but your forgot Kaunas!!!!!!!! But I noticed that different infobox for capital cities are present in various state articles. In other hand we can make new type of infobox for cities. M.K. 21:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
