Revision as of 18:20, 10 November 2007
Forums: Index > Watercooler > Births in (location)/Deaths in (Location)
Was just wondering if we want to make categories for births and deaths in certain places? I would suggest just using a state or province. This could aide people looking for certain surnames in states.
Examples : People born in Kentucky, United States of America People born in Lancashire, United Kingdom
etc

- I think this is a good idea. Also, I think we can probably automate the creation of these cats, especially if we can get folks to use AMK's person infobox template. As I recall, it explicitly declares birth and death locations. ~ Phlox 06:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
