Standardization of the lists of municipalities[edit]

There is a discussion about an eventual standardization of all the lists of municipalities. Please join here and express your opinions.--Húsönd 19:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about a list over the ten largest municipalities by area? Kautokeino is the largest.Orcaborealis 16:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the way to do it. Rank and colours! Hogne 16:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently working on it. See User:Punkmorten/Municipalities of Norway. Punkmorten 12:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Using maps[edit]

03-Sep-2007: Various maps are needed (in articles such as "Municipalities of Norway"); however, keep maps small because not every user needs to see a map, and most articles are repeatedly edited by local people who don't need a map at all. One month ago (3-August-2007), a large blank outline map of Norway's municipalities was centered at the top section of the article, but I reduced the map, merging into the top text, one month later. Maps are needed for major cities and ranking areas by region size, etc. -Wikid77 08:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting maps-images[edit]

03-Sep-2007: Many people are asked to edit articles, without an intro session explaining formatting of images + text. An image reference ("[[Image:mypic|right|thumb|170px|My caption]]") can have screen placement "right" or "left" or "center" to control text-wrapping alongside the image. When tall, vertical navigation-boxes appear in an article, using image-parameter "left" will allow text to wrap between the image and the righthand nav-box; however, standard Wiki format tends to avoid squeezing text between images, so try to keep side images very small (such as 170px) when wrapping text along a nav-box. When placing map images in an article, there is a tendency to want the map large to cross-reference against the text; however, maps can be a nuisance to experts who don't even need the map at all, so embed maps as smaller images and allow "click to enlarge" as a separate window, for other users to switch between the article & map windows for cross-checking. Putting giant maps in an article can be less informative than encouraging side-by-side windows of article against click-enlarged maps, as a technique of cross-referencing data against a map. Outsiders who've never seen the map might prefer a giant map, but balance that against local people who don't need such maps at all, and keep maps as "click to enlarge" smaller size. -Wikid77 08:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commune 1123 is missing[edit]

I found in some data commune 1123 with the same data as 1122 => Gjesdal. There has been an administrative change? Anybody can confirm that 1122 is the same with 1123? --Valugi (talk) 12:09, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
