This WikiProject is an attempt to formulate a common template for places in Singapore. It suggests a structure for the articles which would make them more structured, while also giving them a common look and feel.

[edit] Title

WikiProject Singaporean places

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to lay down guidelines for the way articles on various places in Singapore may be organised. This may include:

  • General article pages for placenames in Singapore.
  • New Towns in Singapore
  • Planning areas and districts in Singapore
  • Political subdivisions in Singapore

Once the groundwork for the above are completed, we may move to include more specific places and venues, or to set up daughter wikiprojects to target specific groups of articles or topical scope.

[edit] Structure

[edit] Place name articles

Although not a perfect article, refer to Ang Mo Kio for an example of what should and not should be in general placename articles. They should have:

  • An info table showing the placename in all four official languages
  • A brief description of the general locality of the said placename
  • Origin of placename
  • Description of the place's history of development (avoid going into too much details on the building of specific amenities which may be more relevant to the new town article)
  • Where possible, a section on the placename's relevance to Singaporean social culture and spatial consciousness. For example, the red-light district image of Geylang, the laid-back, recreational feel of Pasir Ris, and so on
  • Locator map

[edit] New Towns

Again, refer to Ang Mo Kio New Town as a rough template. In general, the article should include:

  • An infobox with basic information, including area, units, population, etc.
  • An introduction mentioning the boundaries of the said new town
  • History of the new town's development from conceptualisation to the present (including the rebuilding, upgrading of existing facilities)
  • Sections describing the physical configuration of the new town, as well as its supporting facilities

[edit] Planning Areas

  • Define the boundaries of the said planning area
  • Detail planning objectives and considerations
  • Elaborate on specific planning initiatives and results
