Disagreement on Christchurch article re:settlement definition

There is a dispute at the article for Christchurch, Dorset over whether, how, and in how much detail, the article should cover Bournemouth Airport – a major employer which was in the now defunct borough of Christchurch, but some distance outside the built-up area in a neighbouring parish. This is essentially a difference of opinion on how to handle the ambiguity around defining settlements. If you think you can help resolve this, join the discussion at Talk:Christchurch,_Dorset#Bournemouth_airport. Thanks, Joe D (t) 10:38, 3 April 2022‎ (UTC)[reply]

Potential to streamline UK places maintenance using Wikidata

Hi project, prompted by revisiting the UK Wikipedians' "complete todo list" page for the first time in at least a decade, and noticing that it had instructions to add population data to place articles with some very out of date broken links to sources for the data [1], I got thinking about whether there are any better ways to add and maintain up-to-date population data.

I've started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox UK place#Potential to use Wikidata here to make our lives easier?, with a proposal for an update to the Infobox that you might have views on.

(If nobody has raised any objections, I'll be bold and have a go at making it happen next week.)
