Zamboanga del Sur's 3rd district

edit

Where should this go? This became Zamboanga Sibugay, which got split into two. There are also other instances of places "losing districts" to new ones. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:05, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Howard the Duck: Zamboanga Sibugay's at-large congressional district maybe? And then Zamboanga del Sur's 3rd congressional district will be a redirect to it. —hueman1 (talk contributions) 12:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, Zamboanga Sibugay never elected representatives or board members at-large (yet!), so that'll be wrong. US congressional districts navboxes are split per state. It's a good idea to split these per region too. Then we can add defunct districts along with the active ones per province. Howard the Duck (talk) 12:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Update: There's a pending bill splitting Zamboanga del Sur into 3 districts, so if that is passed it'll be a unique occurrence of a numbered district being resurrected. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:07, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Order of regions

edit

I suggest that we order the regions according to location, and not alphabetically. For reference, here is the table of regions, arranged by location. I think ordering by location would be more logical, since for example Region IV-A and Mimaropa are placed far from each other in the current order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmsay (talkcontribs) 04:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Split into navboxes per regions

edit

U.S. Congress split theirs per state. With 270+ links the best course of action will be to that too here.

I don't know what to do with this navbox if that happens, but I guess we can either link the 17 regional navboxes here, or TFD this as it won't be needed by then. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:05, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is merely names of the templates, that the reader has of no use of. I actually thought about this and we can use the numbered regions for template names (these rarely change; Region IX is roughly the same from its institution despite being renamed to "Zamboanga Peninsula" from "Western Mindanao"), then the usual names for the title readers see in the navbox, such as "Congressional districts for the House of Representatives of the Philippines in Metro Manila" for {{Philippine congressional districts in the NCR}}.

About this navbox, maybe we can just redirect it to {{Philippine legislative districts}}? —hueman1 (talk contributions) 13:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, we can do that too. Howard the Duck (talk) 14:29, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

All of the existing articles are now using regional navboxes instead of the national one. We can keep the national one for the meantime to track what needs to be created, but for now I suggest on using the regional navboxes on all new articles moving forward.
