List of cities, towns and villages in the Maldives → List of cities in the Maldives – There are no towns or villages in the Maldives, so putting them in the title is useless.

I see cities and atoll capitals, which apparently are not "cities". I don't think either name is appropriate. RachelTensions (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well we could remove the atoll capitals and keep the cities. Unilandofma^{(Talk to me!)} 07:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a better word that would encompass both types of settlement? RachelTensions (talk) 08:15, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Settlements? -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In that case the page could be redirected to List of islands of the Maldives since that covers the islands + cities. Unilandofma^{(Talk to me!)} 14:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
