International School of Luzern[edit]

School removed from canton Luzern. School closed in June 2016. Students now go to ISZL in Baar, Canton Zug. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Optibeam (talk • contribs) 11:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grouping[edit]

I propose to group according the cantons instead of every single minicipality, since the cantonal school laws are the defining aspects here. If the designated reader does not know in which canton (s)he lives, then (s)he should probably go to school befefore. -- ZH8000 (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Titles of canton articles[edit]

moved from my talk pages -- ZH8000 (talk) 17:02, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In response to this edit does this mean the titles of the articles should be changed?

Canton of Aargau redirects to Aargau, Canton of Basel-Stadt redirects to Basel-Stadt, Canton of Ticino redirects to Ticino, and Canton of Vaud redirects to Vaud.

Remark: pls, discuss subjects where they belong!

Answer: Yes, they are currently treated that way on WP, but in reality they are not synonyms, though they share many aspects. But school related aspects are only subject to the authorities of the cantons. -- ZH8000 (talk) 17:02, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ZH8000: in that case it would "belong" on Wikipedia:Requested moves because it's not really about the school template anymore; it's about the title of the articles. The template "should" link to the actual title of the article the reader is doing to; if you link to Canton of Aargau it doesn't work because the user is going to be redirected to Aargau anyway. The only way to "solve" the problem is to do a requested move and then make Aargau a disambiguation page. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. Currently, for example, the aspects about the canton of Basel-Stadt, about the city of Basel, about the region of Basel, and many other interpretation are kept together in one article (a kind of a hymonym). But this is just the current situation on WP. This could change in the future. If somebody decides to differentiate the the contents about city from the contents about the canton and describe them seperately by two different articles, the links on this template will still point to the correct article called Canton of Basel-Stadt while Basel will only describe the city. Then these links will not have to be corrected! Smart, isn't it?! ;-) -- ZH8000 (talk)

@ZH8000: Well if you think the canton should be under "Canton of Basel-Stadt" instead of "Basel-Stadt" that's perfectly fine. Currently the city is under title Basel while the cantons are under Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft. The historical canton (is this the "region of Basel"?) is under Canton of Basel. If "Basel-Stadt" should instead disambiguate between the city and the "Canton of Basel-Stadt" that should be brought up at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Yes, there is some confusion among the several Basel articles. The several contents are either mixed in one article, and/or distributed over several articles. But, this is not the issue here in this article. Here, the issue is that the links must be called Canton of X, where ever these links point to, because, as I said before, school related issues are subject to the cantonal authorities. -- 12:19, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
