Talk:Civil parish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I changed the links for community council UK back to community council - there's no need to disambiguate the links if only UK pages currently link to the page. Also, it's not necessary to link a page every time it appears - once or twice an article will do. Thanks. sjorford 13:50, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I am thinking there is a sense in which the civil parish exists or has existed in Scotland, that traditional counties were sub-divided into parishes (but these lacked their own councils). I seem to remember boundaries appearing on inch-to-the-mile OS maps. A quote from The Standing Stones of Caithness: "Myatt groups sites also with respect to the traditional parishes of Caithness, following perhaps the practice of the Royal Commission in 1911."

Apologies but I have inadvertently deleted this page and copied Civil parish over the top. I will rectify asap but Wiki is slow this afternoon and I am having trouble getting into undelete. Cutler July 9, 2005 14:53 (UTC)

What exactly was the point in moving this when at least 95% of the links to "civil parish" refer to those in England? [1] somebody went and redirected civil parish to a useless disambig page without fixing the links (something which gets me extremely annoyed) :( G-Man 21:35, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

Pardon me, but the article Parish/Geographical Subdivision, about civil parishes in general which was split off from Parish, is not a useless disambig page. Man vyi 08:35, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

And now it's been moved to Parish (subnational entity). Talk about a moving target... Bring back the old days when everything just pointed to Parish and we only had one article to worry about! Man vyi 19:15, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

slash disambig is not used on en-WP. Other subnational entities also have the name "X (subnational entity)". But where are they called "Civil parish"? Only in England? Or would this term apply to the non-England as well? -- Tobias Conradi (Talk) 20:59, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Why does Civil parish redirect to "Civil parish (England)"? Either it exists only in England, than the article should go to "Civil parish", or it does not, than an article at "Civil parish" should be created to explain where it is used. I will turn "Civil parish" in a dab page otherwise. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 15:24, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Good point I've moved it back to civil parish, seem as all the links come from places in England. G-Man 21:59, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
