Talk:Lists of schools in Malaysia

Splitting of article

I'm thinking of creating a school list page for every state. that way, for every page, we can further categorize them into Primary, secondary, and national, private, etc. You think that's wise?Zack2007 16:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Creating this list was a crazy idea in the first place. If you still want to continue, I`m no bars. We have like more than thousands of schools in Malaysia, despite the small size of the country. Maybe you can put a list of representative school and put the full list on a seperate page. I`m wondering how this list can be helpful to anyone. - Syock

Support - a list for every state.

1. A decent idea I'd say. Looking at the article's current situation, it requires much cleanup anyway (eg. all "Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan" phrases should be made a simpler short form of "SMK"). This separation might make it tidier (even without cleanup yet, but I might work on it later).
2. Per Syock, there are thousands of schools in Malaysia, so if one day ALL are added into this ONE list, it would be way too long.

If there are no objections in few days, I'll start splitting the list. — Yurei-eggtart 18:51, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Given the consensus on this page I've completed the split. I've also put together a template for cross navigation and removed the tags. Hope you like the results! AndrewRT(Talk) 00:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Rationalising the list

There are probably a few thousand schools in Malaysia and to put fit them all into one article is going to be absolutely crazy. I suggest that some form of rationalisation is needed, probably along the lines of List of schools in the United Kingdom. So a proposed hierarchy might be Schools by State -> Schools by District -> Schools by ownership (public, private, mission, et al). This would probably be easier to find references about as the MOE's organisation is along similar lines. - Bob K 21:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

As of now, this list is barely near to being "complete", but yeah I was working to split up the articles (See: List of schools in Kedah, Malaysia, List of schools in Johor, Malaysia and List of schools in Sabah, Malaysia - didn't create the Sabah one myself, but cleaned it up). I'm using "was" not because I don't want to do it anymore, but I haven't gotten the time to split all of them like how I did to Kedah and Johor sections.

If you look at the first suggestion (see above), it was somewhat decided the article would be split, and I never removed the splitting tag on the article page because I've been looking for someone to actually voice his/her opinion (yay now we have one? Lol). Anyway, once the splitting is done, I plan to reduce this article into a directory like the example you gave: List of schools in the United Kingdom. Is that good?

My way of splitting one section: purely copying the list here + grouping them up to their respective sections + cleaning up/wikifying + simple heading; since I'm bad at looking for references, so I'm sorry that I won't be able to give good references to those articles. Maybe you can work that out? ._. — Yurei-eggtart 16:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Labuan/Putrajaya lists

As seen in the article, the sectioned lists of schools in Labuan and Putrajaya are too short to be made another article. I wouldn't recommend these two lists to remain in this soon-to-be navigating page too.
I'm just thinking: perhaps, we can move these two sections to Labuan and Putrajaya articles respectively, and add the section links here to lead readers to the correct locations, just like what we are to do to the other states. — Yurei-eggtart 05:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see this comment until after I'd completed the split. I suggest you just expand these lists until they are large enough. The list of schools may fall victim to undue weight considerations if they were sections within the territory article. AndrewRT(Talk) 00:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Work still to do

The split articles need to be checked to see that they are referenced and arranged properly. It would be better if someone closer to the ground, so to speak, could do this! AndrewRT(Talk) 00:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
