Renaming to the "Towns in..." format would be consistent with the standard convention for other such categories - see Category:Towns by country. --VivaEmilyDavies 23:33, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)


How does one get P-Parkes into the proper place????

To add an article to a category, you need to go to the articles page (in this case Parkes) and add [[Category:New South Wales towns]] to the articles page. I've done it for you, it should now show up in the category list. -- Chuq 11:55, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

N-Nyngan edit

Thank you Chuq - have figured out how to do categories.

Villages and Towns edit

I suggest we merge this with the "Villages in New South Wales" category. There's no real difference in Australia between a town and a village. How they are actually distinguished in the categories I don't know. The categories become redundant without a merge. (JROBBO 05:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC))Reply


Merge Villages into Towns edit

I agree, having villages and towns is redundant. It just makes it that little bit more time consuming to find what your looking for.

Towns or Things in Towns ? edit

all the various towns are already in the various sub-cat areas in the main section of Towns.
all the little cat items, town areas, of things that are in the town areas, I think do not belong, as they are things in the towns, not the towns.
each of the towns in the subcats are already in the heading subcats. I did a few cpl of days ago, you can see in my contributions. DO I continue moving every sub cat out ?Dave Rave (talk) 06:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Dave Rave: If you wish to continue doing it with HotCat, then yes... however you might find it easier to do this using AutoWikiBrowser - RichT|C|E-Mail 12:42, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
I remove the cat details so it isn't in Towns, the sub-suburb is manually in Towns, I remove that, it's auto in Towns because of the Infobox, so that's a big waste of effort Dave Rave (talk) 07:16, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
