New template split

[edit]

I split this off from {{R from subtopic}}, to which is used to redirect, because almost everything using it was a municipal subdivision, except one thing (a subsidiary of a company, now moved to {{R from subsidiary}}). The name of the redirect cum template is just ambiguous enough that its scope needed to be documented. It also provides a redir target for {{R from neighborhood}}, {{R from borough}}, etc., and this now being a template, it is a vehicle for implementing a specific subcategory for this stuff. There are thousands of such redirects, mostly done with {{R from subtopic}}, that can now be more narrowly moved to this geographical variant and so reduce the overflow of Category:Redirects from subtopics a little, plus make it easy for people who want to work on neighborhood/borough/quarter/district/suburb articles, but giving them a category of names to start checking for potential notability. I don't much care if the template/redirect relationship is inverted (e.g. {{R from neighborhood}} might be better as the real template name). What do we want to call the category? What's the most encompassing name for such things?  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  14:40, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
