 * I've made some basic fixes, but there's a lot of work to be done, and some organizational layout issues here are somewhat POV by nature; this is a useful exercise though as it helps lay out what articles are yet missing in "mainspace".Skookum1 (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Re settlements section
Is there a way to link a sort on a table, i.e. so that the "villages" link here goes to the table in List_of_municipalities_in_British_Columbia and causes the "sort" function to bunch all the villages at the top? Want to fill in the redlinks; the alternative is to break up that target page by category of municipality, or to make another List of municipalities in British Columbia by incorporation status - a designation which would allow for the inclusion of defunct and/or downgraded municipalities. e.g. Dewdney and Sandon, which are no longer incorporated - but once were.Skookum1 (talk) 23:30, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * No. You can link to a section, but the table stands on its own. The controls on the table can only be worked after you arrive at the page.  But the wiki-gurus do make new features and code breakthroughs from time to time, so it is possible that there's a way to do what you wish that I'm unaware of.

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:51, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
