Structure
[edit]Navigation structure
[edit]Top-level Nova Scotia navigation pages include:
- Nova Scotia (includes infobox and navigation boxes)
- Outline of Nova Scotia
- Category:Nova Scotia
Other pieces of the navigation system include:
- Nova Scotia-related lists
- Nova Scotia templates

- See also sections of Nova Scotia-related articles
- Outlines of counties, cities, etc. (not yet created)
Articles
[edit]See also: Naming conventions
Following Wikipedia standard, article titles should relate to the best-known name in most cases. It has become standard that communities and place names in Canada be followed by the name of the Province, thus Halifax, Nova Scotia. Redirects should be created for commonly used nicknames, and for place names without the province following the name, where possible.
Templates

Infoboxes
[edit]- All settlements in Nova Scotia should use {{Infobox Settlement}}. This infobox provides a consistent look between the various types of settlements in Nova Scotia like Halifax and Enfield and to settlements in the other parts of Canada like Saskatoon, Montreal, St. John's, and Edmonton. The default "settlement_type" is city, but it can be changed to reflect any type of settlement, like counties, towns, villages, etc. {{Infobox Settlement}} also has a super imposable dot map feature that allows a map to be used with any settlement in Nova Scotia.
