[edit] "Confusing" template

I realize this is a "List of" but it makes too many assumptions about what the reader knows. I first thought this was about the U.S. city Cleveland, Ohio. Either the intro should briefly explain the following terms or there should be a Notes section with short explanations. Someone not familiar with the U.K. political structure should not have to click on 8 links to understand the basics:

• Is Cleveland a county, a city, or something else?
• parliamentary constituency
• constituency
• county council area
• ceremonial county
• borough constituency
• county constituency
• local government wards
• Replace "current" with a date.

Also, this looks like a lot more than a "List of". Why isn't it just "Parliamentary constituencies in Cleveland, England"?
