::I guess your definition of "region" will become clear as we progress. Whatever it is, it will be fine for categories as long as each region is in the matching categories for at least one larger official area that includes it. Where there is overlap (just as for boundary changes), we try to add cross-references near the top of articles and categories. — [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] [[User talk:Robin Patterson|(Talk)]] 15:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
==Current practice==
The current practice is as follows.
* Birth, marriage, and death are registered by hamlet, village, town, or city.
* The name of the place is a single name, unless there is the potential of confusion. Potential ambiguity is solved between brackets. Amsterdam is therefore Amsterdam, while Zwijndrecht is Zwijndrecht (NL) and Utrecht is Utrecht (city).
* There are three templates
** <nowiki> {{B-nl|placename|provincename}} </nowiki> to create a category Born in ..
** <nowiki> {{M-nl|placename|provincename}} </nowiki> to create a category Married in ..
** <nowiki> {{D-nl|placename|provincename}} </nowiki> to create a category Died in ..
* There are three levels of categorization: People are Born in Amsterdam, which is a subcategory of Born in North Holland, which is a subcategory of Born in the Netherlands.
* Pages about places are categorized as follows:
** Category: Placename
** Category: Municipality
** Category: Region (optional)
** Category: Province
* Pages about provinces have a list of municipalities (single ident) and the villages that are in those municipalities (double ident).
* Some provinces also have a list of regions. Municipalities are placed in those regions by way of superscripts, and through the categorization above.
This practice has now been implemented for [[Gelderland]], [[North Holland]], and [[South Holland]]. These are the only three provinces with a significant number of pages at the moment. It would be a shame if new provinces would follow a different practice. [[User:Rtol|Rtol]] 07:29, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
