Is anyone interested in a small sub-project with the goal of creating stubs for all municipalities in the Canton of Vaud, by copying infoboxes from de: or fr:, and adding the corresponding navigational templates for the different districts ? I have done this for the Canton of Geneva already, as well as for the District of Morges, and will continue (slowly) with the other districts. Any help welcome...

I'd be happy to help. I did this some time ago for the district of Yverdon, e.g. Orzens (I figured it was preferable to some of the odd stubs we got back then and all the time needed to clean up). D6 can easily take care of uploading a short article (we just need to decide on the text) and copying the infobox from de: or fr:. If additional elements should be added a specific municipality, this can be added as well or done manually later. We could (re)activate Wikipedia:WikiProject Swiss municipalities. -- User:Docu
I am quite happy with the stub I have seen so far, for example Denens. I have just completed the "mayor" field manually from fr:, checked the link to the municipality web site, and other misc cleanups. Currently, I am working mainly on district for which stubs already exists (at the moment: district of Lausanne), but if we can get your bot to upload stubs for the new ones, I will look at them in priority. How long would it take ? Also, I think reactivating the Wikiproject would be a good idea. I will have a look at similar, active, project to see what can/should be done.

I added a few for the districts of Nyon and Moudon (a short stub, interwikis and then the infobox from de:). I could do the other municipalities at a time when the server is a bit faster. -- User:Docu
Excellent. I will have a look and see if anything has to be updated. Short comments so far:
  • Should we wikify municipality ? It was done on many articles on Switzerland, and I am usually following this practice
  • The link to the district points to a redirect (District of Nyon instead of Nyon (district)).
  • It looks like the page on de: does not have information about the Mayor, while the one on fr: does. Any chance you can get it automatically ? Otherwise, it may be a good reason for me to experiment with a bot...
