Talk:List of ports in Australia

message: Was this created from any authoritative source or restrictive definition? The lists seem to be extrememly short to me, but I don't want to add more ports to the list that I think belong there without some reference for completeness. --Scott Davis Talk 13:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Completeness?

message: The article states in the heading The list also contains some entries for places that are widely recognised as ports or harbours, yet have not been gazetted as such. These are noted and individually referenced in the list. - How should we note and reference to identify clearly?  I think there are going to be similar numbers of ungazetted places as gazetted places in the end for NSW at least, particularly if this list includes historic ports such as Tathra - I think it should, but of course noted as such. --Golden Wattle  talk 00:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't very clear, was it? What I meant to say was that places that aren't gazetted are provided with an explicit citation, so places that don't have an explicit citation can be assumed to cite the Gazetteer of Australia. The alternative is to explicitly cite the Gazetteer for every gazetted entry; this might make sense once we get to the point where the gazetted ports only constitute half the list.

replies: text: Until we get the full list together this article maybe needs to be called the "List of Gazetted Ports in Australia". It's missing some pretty important ones as is (Port of Melbourne - the biggest port in the country)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.49.69.44 (talk) 04:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: How should we annotate non-gazetted ports?

message: Thanks for making it some sort of complete list (I only just noticed). Should we make redirects from the red links, and disambiguate wrong blue ones to unique article names for the ports (then make redirects to a town there)? The redirects mean this list is still right if someone later turns the redirect into an article. Examples: Port Glenelg (presently red) will likely never have an article, so I'd like to make it a redirect to Glenelg, South Australia. Outer Harbour is presently a redirect to Outer Harbor, South Australia, but is listed as a port in Queensland. --Scott Davis Talk 13:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think that some of the west aus entries that are blue are to wrong articles as well.I think we will encounter wrong arts and dismbig and redirect issues for most entries SatuSuro 13:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Red links

message: What about using "wikitable sortable" so that the ports can be sorted in:
* Alphabetical order
* Size of ship
* Order along coastline
* etc.    Tabletop (talk) 04:09, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
