Help:Conventions/Place page title

Watchers

Quick reference

Place page titles are constructed from the smallest jurisdiction (e.g., city or cemetery) to the largest jurisdiction (country). The type of jurisdiction (e.g., "Township" or "County") is normally excluded, but is included in parentheses when necessary for disambiguation. For cities in the United States, the name follows the pattern "City, County, State, United States" (township is excluded).

Further information

Place page titles reflect jurisdictional organization as of an approximate year that may differ from country to country (about 1900 for the United States).

Further rules for naming place pages are specific to each country and are documented on the Country pages.
