message: The infoboxes of Crimean settlements are a mess. The "country" field is sometimes indicated as Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine (occupied by Russia), disputed, or left empty. Generally only the de facto administrative divisions are included that were de jure abolished by Ukraine in 2023. I've recently been fixing the infoboxes of various Ukrainian cities for consistency, so when it came to Crimea I tried to follow the structure akin to the one in Luhansk and Donetsk, indicating both Ukrainian and Russian administrative divisions. But when @Mellk (whom I'm pinging as this discussion might be of interest) reverted my changes in Alupka and Alushta I realized that there's no concensus on this, so now I'm bringing up this topic here.

replies: text: I think there was consensus from 2014 to include de facto/de jure and most if not all settlements followed this but since 2022 there have been arbitrary changes made to this in certain articles as well as the template (which is now deleted). For example there was one POV editor who changed it to just Ukraine in some but not all articles (and they are now indeffed). There is no consensus to change this for occupied settlements in the mainland since 2022 but for Crimea, there has not really been any discussion for this as far as I am aware (and probably not enough interest).

text: I don't see much difference between the two versions of Alupka and Alushta. Cf. Kyrenia which is in a similar situation, only for a longer period, I think it's closer to the stable version. Alaexis¿question? 20:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think so. I've never encountered any, and searching "абревіації областей" on Google returns nothing useful. To my knowledge the only first-level administrative division that has a common abbreviation is Autonomous Republic of Crimea (ARC in English / АРК in Ukrainian).
