Article guidelines and conventions

A general template/model of how village articles should be structured, and particularly what sections and in what order, doesn't seem to exist yet. The most common models are however summarised in some related WikiProjects; some examples follow and can be used as inspiration until a guideline is developed.

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Settlements: Article structure (very brief)
• Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements (with a lot of detail on section content)
• Naming conventions (geographic names)
• Canadian communities
• Japanese municipalities
