What is wrong with the current name? Is there more Torsåker in Hofors Municipality and in that case, what is better with the title Torsåker (Hofors Municipality)? I think we should use this one (or maybe Torsåker, Hofors Municipality) as other localities in Sweden. --Skizzik talk 20:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

The thing is that there are several Torsåker in Sweden, and we need to disambiguate. "Torsåker, Hofors" is wrong, because "Hofors" designates the locality, not the municipality, on Wikipedia - and Torsåker is not found within the locality. Your other suggestion is correct, however, according to naming convention on Wikipedia: "With the names of cities, towns, villages and other settlements, as well as administrative divisions, the tag is normally preceded by a comma, as in Hel, Poland and Polk County, Tennessee." -Duribald (talk) 19:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
The fact that there are more Torsåker in Sweden doesn't automatically mean that the article should use another name but in this case the locality is so small that I guess it should. However when I created the templates, I used the names "xxxxx, yyyyy Municipality" which I thought was better than just "xxxxx, yyyyy" but another user changed all of them. I still think the first way is more correct but have not found any rules or guidelines about it. I think all of the articles should use the same naming convention so maybe we should ask what people think at for example WP:SWEDEN and then change all of them accordingly. --Skizzik talk 19:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
