Towns vs villages[edit]

Queensland geography does not have a concept of villages. It has a concept of towns (a centre of urban population which is unbounded) and localities/suburbs (bounded areas). The lists in this article are very confusing! Kerry (talk) 08:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Localities and villages are the same. Vic Park (talk) 01:27, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge List of Mackay suburbs here[edit]

This article, Mackay Region, already includes a list of Mackay suburbs. Furthermore, the current List of Mackay suburbs is completely unreferenced and duplicates information that you can automatically get from the Category tag Category:Suburbs of Mackay, Queensland. For this reason, it seems reasonable to redirect to Mackay Region. If you disagree with this, @Vic Park, then please add at least one citation to List of Mackay suburbs (and preferably a bit of preamble (with citations) to contextualise the list, to make it different from the Category page).

Oppose The article is featuring in the Template:Suburb lists in Australia. We are supposed to maintain and expand entries in that template, not reducing it. N. Mortimer (talk) 11:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@N. Mortimer "We are supposed to"? Says who? Cielquiparle (talk) 12:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We the editors. The main purpose for creating that template is to make a list of Australian suburb lists. We should expand that template by creating more of these articles, not less. N. Mortimer (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@N. Mortimer Could you provide a link where this was discussed? Cielquiparle (talk) 04:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
