Mungindi, New South WalesMungindi — While the existing name complies with the letter of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia, it is grossly misleading as the town (and the scope of this article) crosses the New South Wales and Queensland border. As Mungindi is a unique name it does not need disambiguating, save for compliance with the guideline mentioned above. I therefore submit that this article is better named without a state disambiguator and Mungindi be considered an exception to the general rule. Mattinbgn\talk 06:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Maybe 'Mugindi, Australia'? — kwami (talk) 07:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
I can't see any problem in this case with moving it to Mungindi - at least there's a good reason for it. Rebecca (talk) 07:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
I support the move per Mattinbgn's reasoning. NSW should also be removed from the infobox. Melburnian (talk) 07:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good find! I am not so sure {{Infobox Australian place}} supports not having a state shown, however. -- Mattinbgn\talk 07:42, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
That's not an issue. Removing the state from the field will force the national, rather than a state, map.[1] --AussieLegend (talk) 09:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Despite the place having a NSW post code, having NSW in its name might be misleading and possibly offend the Queenslanders. Calistemon (talk) 08:40, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment Barooga is in NSW and has a Victorian post code. Post codes are an imperfect guide to state affiliations ... -- Mattinbgn\talk 08:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thats why I'm supporting you moving it, Mattinbgn. However, if you want to tip the whole "compulsory disambiguation" thing, I suggest discussing it on Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia rather then tackeling one article at a time. That could be painful and time consuming. Calistemon (talk) 09:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. Just incidentally, there are many "border hop" postcodes in Australia. Part of the Aussie romance I guess. Andrewa (talk) 11:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support The present name is clearly misleading. No need to disambiguate by having Australia in title as there are no other Mungindis. Skinsmoke (talk) 06:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Mungindi as a human settlement is a one and only so no need for arbitrary disambig. Bleakcomb (talk) 23:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

commons category problem edit

When I corrected the reference name in this article earlier today, I noticed that an error message came up in preview mode only "Warning: Commons category does not match the Commons sitelink on Wikidata - please check (this message is shown only in preview)", which I do not understand. But it does seem to work without any problem.Fleet Lists (talk) 02:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
