Check out Adelaide, Australia, it has a pretty solid layout that I blatantly stole for Twin Cities, Minnesota. Redsai 21:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Split Cities Templates
Hey folks, just thought I'd announce two templates joannac and I created:
They are just like Template:Graticule, but are specially designed for cities that occupy two graticules.
Having just seen that four-graticule straddlers exist, I may consider another template... but not today. -- Matty K 13:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

PROPOSAL: Split the split city graticule pages.
I would like to propose the following:
- To transform the aggregated split city graticule pages into separate graticule pages.
- To create separate pages for communities or cities which wish to do a joint planning or have a joint activity report.
Cross-graticule communities may then decide to include the content of the joint planning/activity report page on all graticule pages in question (you can do this with regular pages just as you can do with templates), or alternatively to just set up a link to their community and a note which points interested people in the right direction. Content from active split city pages can be moved to the joint page.
I propose this mainly for the following reasons:
- Split city pages are not automatically maintained in the case of (formally or factually) inactive graticules.
- The split city approach stems from a time when there were few active graticules which usually were hosting a single community. I think it is time to separate these concepts.
