The goal of this task force is to ensure that every municipality in Germany has a good article on Wikipedia. Then the infobox {{Infobox German location}} was added to every article.

Next we need to make sure that:

  • the lead and category refers to the right type of entity. All "Städte" are either Towns (up to 100k inhabitants) or Cities (over 100k) everything else is a municipality. Make sure the status of the place is clear by checking the German version. If it is a town/city Art=Stadt (or type=town) needs to be set. And the lead needs to be set accourdingly.

When you've checked all towns and municipalities in a district, please add "+TC" under its navigation bar. You can find the navbars on the subpages for the states below (e.g. /Brandenburg). If you should find an incorrect link in a navbar (or a redirect), please correct it.
