Template talk:Administrative divisions of the Philippines

message: Do you guys think that, instead of the "Autonomous region" section with ARMM, we could just include all 17 regions and have Template:Philippine regions redirect to this template? --Coffee 11:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This can be a touchy issue but since only one region has real political power, only ARMM has to be included. Also, if we'll include them, then it's like previously deleted  template. Also, how are we going to name the regions? "Ilocos" or "Ilocos Region"? Just like in ARMM, I wanted it to be simply "Muslim Mindanao", not "Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao" because it removes the simplicity. --Howard the Duck 11:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ilocos can be Ilocos, so as Bicol. Cordillera too. but not really for ARMM. Scorpion prinz 05:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Go with the acronym/roman forms: I, II, III, IV-A, IV-B, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, CAR, ARMM, NCR. Short and sweet. --seav 16:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Regions 

message: The list is difficult to read as one cell of a table maybe change it to a bulleted or numbered list instead?  Also multi-word prov's should have & n b s p ;(no-break-space) between each part so as not to split between lines.
I'll play around with this in my "User sandbox".

thread_title:  List of Provinces 

message: I'm trying to make this section READABLE to someone whom is not in the Philippines as it is many places are breaking onto the next line 
examples the province of "Lanao delSur" | Camarines Norte" and the rest...

replies: text: How about formatting it this way: Lanao del Norte? IMHO, I don't see nothing wrong with the previous format. --Howard the Duck 07:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Provinces cont. 

message: I liked the previous content, but I like the formatting of the current one, so why not place the all of the provinces here, then provide links tp regions, cities and other divisions, plus the disputed territories? --Howard the Duck 08:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The template suggests that the Philippines claims Labuan. Is that true? __earth (Talk) 13:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Check out the history and add the user who insists adding "Territorial disputes" in the "political divisions" template. –Howard the Duck 11:37, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless, the claim is disingenuous because Labuan was never part of the Sulu Sultanate. It remained under Brunei when Brunei granted north eastern of North Borneo to Sulu. __earth (Talk) 12:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao are already part of Island Groups, If this words are repeated on the other part, There will be redundancy in the Template -121.54.2.91 (talk) 18:52, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So we should remove the provinces list since they're redundant with the Provinces link? –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 01:25, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

text: The decision is on your hands, for me, it is better to change only the list 4 of the template, if you want separate Island Groups to other list. Again, I recommend to change only the list 4 of the template -121.54.2.91 (talk) 03:28, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao articles should be linked to all province articles. If you have a good idea on how to link them using this template and without using a separate row for "Island groups" as it is not a political division, be my guest. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 04:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Island Groups should be separated and should not be include in other subdivisions. Because it is a special kind of subdivision that requires it to be separated, just like the province template. please consider my idea... - 121.54.2.91 (talk) 06:44, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said in May... any ideas on how to link them by not using a separate row? They're not political divisions in the strictest sense of the world.... same with the legislative districts and the territorial disputes. –HTD 07:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
