Wikipedia:WikiProject New Brunswick/Places update

Infobox settlement
Minimal parameters, and some hints:


 * name                  = name
 * official_name         = if different from the usual name
 * native_name           = French name
 * native_name_lang      = fr
 * pushpin_map           = New Brunswick
 * coordinates           =
 * subdivision_type      = Country
 * subdivision_name      = 🇨🇦
 * subdivision_type1     = Province
 * subdivision_name1     =
 * named_for
 * government_type       = City, Town, Village, Regional municipality, Rural community, LSD
 * population_total      =
 * population_as_of      =

Goals

 * Modernize divisions: many use the old hierarchy of NB -> County -> Parish -> Municipality (before NB local governance was overhauled in 1966) and ignore the presence of LSDs.
 * Add better maps
 * Expand, merge, or delete stubs
 * Possibly refactor lists of places in one big table like this (in this case generated from data extracted from Census Canada).

Resources

 * Statistics Canada Census Profile search by place name, or browse list
 * GeoSearch: another view to the above, but can browse jurisdictions by map
 * Canadian Geographical Names Data Base

A list of lists
statscan lists them on a single page. In WP they are spread over:
 * communities, which transcludes
 * cities
 * First Nations in New Brunswick
 * parishes
 * LSDs
 * neighbourhoods
 * municipalities
 * designated places
 * population centres
 * counties

Mapping
An interactive map can be added as has been done at Fredericton. To implement The list of covered bridges in New Brunswick is configured to show a map of all items. "Click Map all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap", upper right.
 * 1) From OpenStreeMap get the relation for the boundaries. E.g. here is one for St. Stephen.
 * 2) Add the relation to the Indentifiers > OSM relation ID at wikidata.
 * 3) Get the wikidata id for the place (starts with Q)
 * 4) Use the wikidata id to update the image_map parameter in the infobox settlement.

People
The existing convention is to create articles along the lines of List of people from Bathurst, New Brunswick which is then added to List of people from New Brunswick (see WP:SELECTIVETRANSCLUSION). Categories are also sometimes used: In all cases inclusion should be according to WP:FAMRES.

In most cases there is a (for e.g.) List of people from Charlotte County, New Brunswick so lists of people can be moved there from sub-jurisdictions.
