Talk:List of municipalities of Portugal

Things to do
Things to do before FLC:


 * Improve the text of the lead section.
 * Finish all the ranks. Afonso Silva 10:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Link all the parish number to the list of parishes in each municipality Gameiro 01:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Highlight the 20 last and 20 first in each ranking. Gameiro 01:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Eliminate the last red links. Gameiro 01:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The 3 letter code index system, like we see on the Portuguese version, is missing here. This is very useful and missing, because there is no ISO-3166 indexing for Portuguese municipalities yet, for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.83.105.100 (talk) 20:57, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Crest column
The list is turning great. But, can we do something with the width of the crest's collumn? Gameiro 01:33, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

What do you think it's wrong with the crest's column and what do you suggest? The problem with the list is that I haven't found yet any table with this data compiled, I've been working like if I was making a puzzle, gathering the info from the ANMP municipalities sites and placing it in the articles' infoboxes, then adding it to the list, it is going to take me a lot of time, about a month, I think.

Possible errors
Due to the massive size of this list and the huge number of numerical variables 2660, (7*308), the accuracy of the data in the list is obviously a concern. So, I made some calculations, in order to spot any possible mistakes.


 * The crests are all correct, all of them match the municipality.


 * The sum of the 308 values for population gives a total of 10,529,816 inhabitants. The value present in the Portugal article is 10,566,212 inhabitants. This gives an error of 36,396 (0.3%). Considering that the data in the list is as of 2004 (from ANMP) and in the Portugal article is as of 2005, this small difference in one year is very acceptable.


 * The sum of the area values gives a total of 92,117 km², the value in the Portugal article is 92,391 km². This gives a difference of 273.1 km² (0.3%). Considering the many different values to the area of Portugal found in the internet and mainly, the fact that all the 308 area values were rounded to the tenths of square kilometer by ANMP, this may give an error, when multiplied by 308, of several km. Nonetheless, the individual value for area of a municipality is, certainly, very accurate. I used a precision of a tenth of a square kilometer because I think that measuring a municipality with a higher precision (ex: 0,01 km² - an hectare) is like saying that a flat has "x dm²", it's useless.


 * The density values were all calculated by me as they weren't present anywhere and after that, I rounded the values to an integer value. I didn't used any decimal digits, this precision is acceptable for me. It is also present in several other values of population density in wikipedia. After that I confirmed them one by one, diving the population by the area again and checking any rounding errors. I can assure that the density column is error free.


 * FIXED - At the moment, my only concern is in the parish numbers, the sum of that column is 4268, the official number is 4261, there is a surplus of 7 parishes. I suspect that the error comes from Azores, where several parishes were rearranged and ANMP does not keep this field up to date as I had to correct some other values during the gathering of the data. - FIXED


 * I can assure that the ranks perfectly match the corresponding values of area, population and density.

 * Now, after some changes, the number of parishes is 4263, perhaps the value of 4261 is out of date and 2 parishes were created after it. Afonso Silva 20:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirect from Municipalities of Portugal
User PedroPVZ has just redirected Municipalities of Portugal to this article. Shouldn't we first retrieve all the pertinent information that the other article contained? I believe there's content from the other article that is useful and should be included here before being erased. --Húsönd 12:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Standardization of the lists of municipalities
There is a discussion about an eventual standardization of all the lists of municipalities. Please join here and express your opinions. Particularly in the case of Portugal, it's important to decide whether to have one or two articles (one for municipalities and one for the list of municipalities) and also what should be the proper naming of the article(s).--Húsönd 19:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Color codes
The use of color alone to denote the ruling party of each municipality is not OK. It's not accessible to blind and color blind users, and it's not intuitive for full-sighted people either. I suggest changing it for the common acronyms of each party. Gazilion (talk) 16:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
