FYI: the prison in Dorchester, New Brunswick is medium security (and the attached Westmorland Institution is minimun security). Dorchester Pen hasn't been a maximum security facility for at least 15 years.

Village Usage
The municipal aspect of community in New Brunswick has not superseded the more universal understanding of the English language word. As if the legislative shortcomings should have such reach. Failing to provide accurate descriptors for the districts/regions is yet another example of the reform's characteristic community fragmentation. Insisting the use of "village" must adhere to New Brunswick local government law, in absence of explanatory modifier in an encycolpedia or in general usage, is asinine.

Like in this case of Dorchester, New Brunswick, if in the header of a community article it is said that a village (which BTW was a village in official provincial government documents prior to incorporation as a "village" according to the to legislation). While formerly afforded village municipal status, ever since the municipalities and concurrent annexation of certain territory in unincorporated units, there remains a village not defined by the former municipality.

No amount of referencing the municipal law in the province substantiates its use in place of the meaning of village. What we are seeing is a possessiveness. To undertake the separation of the municipal aspect of community from the greater community is what we are tasked with. There has been created the need for clarification as is evidenced in efforts of the new municipalities themselves in choices for official names that avoid the municipal type. You will see I have made a modification, therefor.

I will also note here that it is unfortunate that we see the degradation of articles because of those editors who look to update the specific language without consideration of the remainder.
