Talk:List of cities in Japan

message: Does anyone have preference about listing of cities? As you see, I categorized cities according to prefectures. Do you think mere alphabetical listing better without any subheadings ? -- Taku
No, I think this system works. Unless you can have a dynamically changable system
Hi, I fond the list of all munipals in Japan in Japanese version: w:ja:全国市町村一覧. I have a question on this article. What means List of cities in Japan? Japanese government categorizes munipals in three: cities, towns and villages. Just now I added some cities. If this list includes also towns and villages, I can add them too.

thread_title:  List by prefecture 

message: Could some references be added to this list? After that, it would probably be a good candidate for Wikipedia:Featured list candidates, jguk 17:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This list of cities is almost certainly not up to date (not just the population numbers, but the city names themselves) due to numerous mergers, see Merger and dissolution of municipalities of Japan.  Dozens of new cities have been founded in the last year or two, and in numerous cases existing cities have merged with surrounding towns and villages forming new (renamed) cities.  To make this a featured list, I'd think it would have to be extensively updated. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: This list is out of date. Alot of the cities in the list have merged during the Merger and dissolution of municipalities of Japan. --Jonte-- 18:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out of date 

message: It appears that the sort feature is not working properly on the date column. Even one of the date sorting examples given at Help:Sorting wasn't functioning properly. Perhaps ISO 8601 would be ideal here? (which, by the way, is a standard adopted in Japan) —Tokek 20:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sorting of dates 

message: "Note that Tokyo is actually a special kind of prefecture not a city." I find this a bit inaccurate. Tokyo is a name of type of prefecture "to" but the prefecture is divided into cities and the 23 wards of old Tokyo city. These wards are what many consider to be Tokyo city but for most situations they operate as if they are independent cities. So either the city of Tokyo or the individual wards(ku) should be listed.
Miyashita
:I think the special wards should be added. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tokyo 

message: By combining the tables into one, like so, the list of all cities in Japan can be sorted by any column: population, founded date, etc. In addition to that version, we could have a list of :Template:Anchor links for navigation prior to sort, however there is Ctrl+F, which might make it an excessive feature. More per city specialization may be better suited for an article titled "List of cities in Japan by Prefecture", for example. Maybe someone should write an article called Wikipedia is not a spreadsheet. --JBrown23 (talk) 13:36, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Conclusion

message: I personally would find this list considerably more useful if there was a column added for the name of each city in Japanese.
Does anyone have a bot that could do that quickly or is it going to be a painful process?114.30.113.130 (talk) 18:01, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Romanized names vs Japanese names 

message: The contents of this page and the contents of List of Japanese cities by population would seem to work better together. For example, that page has additional columns not found here, but this page has more entries and seems more comprehensive. CortlandKlein (talk) 21:25, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: The header tells Tokyo is not included on this list, as the City of Tokyo ceased to exist on July 1, 1943.
However, Tokyo's wards are listed in its alphabetical section, and then those summed up as "Special wards of Tokyo". So, the whole Tokyo is actually included. If the text was supposed to mean that Tokyo is not in the list as a city, it should be said that way. 91.154.188.185 (talk) 05:55, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
