Settlement Geography article subdivisions Template
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
At present, a settlement can be fleshed out with a number of suggested article subheadings, such as "Defenses", "Industry and Trade" and "Demographics". One glaring addition is an subheading for the inclusion of "Districts" or "Points of Interest". This forces the detailing of minor, but important, facets of a settlement to another article, or awkwardly wedged into an inappropriate subheading. A natural home for settlement subdivisions would greatly improve article flow.How does this feature request address the current situation?
While this feature can presumably be replicated with custom article templates, a more straightforward option for many users would be the inclusion of a dedicated "Subdivision" or "Point of Interest" subheading. Take for example, a typical city as a base settlement. While there are ample tools for describing the city at large, it is more difficult to explain notable neighborhoods, such as "The Docks", "the Merchant Quarter", or "the Slums". These can be further developed with their own articles, but for quick reference or less important areas, this level of detail is unnecessary. A dedicated subheading would allow explanation of these areas of low/mid-level importance, or provide a quick snapshot of an important area rather than a stand-alone dedicated article. This would be similar to the "Guilds and Factions" sub-heading, which allows a natural home for "Organizations", despite full articles existing for those as well. A similar addition could be made for "points of interest", such as a settlement's church, bank, fountain or mayor's house that merits mention, but not a dedicated article, placing these within the city in a natural, easy to find place.What are other uses for this feature request?
A similar adjustment could be used for the "Geography" article, along similar logic, allowing a writer to direct attention to a particular feature or area within a wider geography without requiring a dedicated article for a passing feature.The Team's Response

on 2021-06-29 00:38I'm torn on this one, yes adding a simple subdivision or district subheading would be simple to add and be useful for simple and summarized descriptions. However when you make a settlement article there's a district, slum, quarter, and ward option under "Type" and depending on the settlement many of these districts may deserve there own article. I'll give my support but I don't think this one will be acknowledged

on 2021-06-19 03:51I find stuff like districts can be used to highlight incredibly interesting differences in quality of life within a world and I think it’d be wonderful to have something that prompts others to pursue those.

on 2021-06-16 14:15As per usual, I'm against the "you can just add these yourself" argument. If that's your opinion, use the generic article template for everything. The templates are there to provide help and inspiration and I believe these are good points.

on 2021-06-16 01:21Just use bbcode to make whatever sections you want. The last thing these templates need is more clutter. I'd rather have fully customizable templates.
