Template use for infobox
There was a and  used in this edit, but I'm not finding it... and the infobox didn't know what to do with it either, so postal code and area code were not dislayed in that version, which was reverted.

What is this template? And, the proper postal and area codes for the city 6300/38 were replaced, what are these values meant to be?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 05:16, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Oops – copied the code from another barangay which does have the wikidata.
 * BTW I don't know why you saw fit to add refs to numbers when the label is already a link.

 * It's just good practice to add citations - using another wikipedia article as a source is a circular reference - which is a problem on several levels.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 06:18, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Other infobox proposed changes
The correct coordinates region for the Philippines is "PH", so I left that as it was in the article, rather than the proposed PH-BOL.

The url formatting for the government website is the standard appoach. The proper template, if you want to use one, for the the website in an infobox is Template:URL, which would result in the same display (www.tagbilaran.gov.ph). -- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 05:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, but ISO 3166-2 shows region codes. Oops, should be PH-BOH not PH-BOL
 * As you could have seen, template used was Official website

 * I looked up coordinates region, which is the infobox field... which linked to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (which I piped "coordinated region" above).
 * Yes, I know you used Official website, which is used for external links. In the scheme of things, though, this is not a big deal. Use that template if you wish, just realize that someone may come back and change it later to be in synch with standard practice.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 06:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I looked up Template infobox settlement - coordinates_region too. It specifies:

 * Fine. I'm not sure what the net benefit is, and it seems to make things unnecessarily complicated, but go for it.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:23, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Proposed capitalization change
Regarding this version (since reverted), why wouldn't Barangay be capitalized in:


 * "Barangay Dampas and Dao and to the north by Barangay Booy"?

It's part of the proper title of a place, right? (vs. barangay, a type of settlement).-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 05:41, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it's just descriptive, not a title at all.
 * And I think your use of em is wrong.

 * Regarding capitalization of barangay, I posted a question at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines.


 * Regarding the use of em, I was just following the info from WP:BOLD. I wouldn't have added the em template other than to resolve that it should not be bolded. I will happily remove the em template.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 10:29, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Per Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines, options: 1) remove Barangay if more than two mentioned in a sentence or 2) capitalize if used as a place name, like Barangay Cogon-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:36, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you mean MOS:BOLD - WP:BOLD is what I was, and assume good faith what you didn't. Unbuttered parsnip  (talk) mytime= Fri 16:05, wikitime=  08:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
