You've done a lot of good work on that article (and I'm pleased to see you like my Places citations). Well done! However, I suggest you restore (either in its previous form as a section or incorporated into the table -- perhaps as a column for "neighbourhoods" for all the unbounded localities within that suburb). The reason why we had that there before is because most readers don't really know what is or isn't an official suburb/bounded locality (the bounded ones) from the unbounded (unbounded localities and towns). To most readers, they are all suburbs. And when they think one is missing from the article, they will edit the article and add it into the suburb list. So by having the neighbourhoods (that's the term I usually use for unbounded localities as it seems to cause least confusion to the readers) already in the article explaining they are part of another suburb, it helps to avoid that problem of "new" suburbs popping up from time to time. I note that some of the neighbourhoods have articles, so it's a pity to lose links to them as well. For the same reason, I included the former suburbs and what became of them, because otherwise they pop up again if they are not mentioned. I think it's better to include the neighbourhoods and former suburbs in order to educate the reader, while at the same time deflecting unwanted edits. Kerry (talk) 02:06, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
I see you tried to fix the ((cite QPN)) template. I tried myself but eventually gave up. I just don't seem to be able to use the template langauge to create the URL I need to go as directly as I can to the actual webpage. Everything worked fine for many years when the QPN website generated separate web pages for each entry. Now, they don't do that, but generate a search results page with an interactive way of displaying the individual entries that match the search. In theory I think it should be possible to generate the URL from the template code, but my attempts have failed. For example, the URL for Surfers Paradise should be:
https://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/qld/environment/land/placenames/search#/search=Surfers_Paradise&types=0&place=Surfers_Paradise46088
but I seem to get problems with the template language where there are spaces in the place name. I've asked a few people but had a lot of "oh, maybe try this" or "maybe try that", but no joy so far. It frustrates me because I think it should be do-able. I'm open to any bright ideas on this problem! It would be great to have this template taking the reader to the right place again rather than them having to do their own search once they get there. Kerry (talk) 02:25, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
If you are keen on that sort of thing, I have spreadsheets of all the Queensland Heritage properties, which you can use as a basis for the articles. However, the reason why those lists of heritage places articles exists is because people thought the lists too long for inclusion in the town/suburb rather than that there was an inherent desire to have such a list article. In the case of the Gold Coast, there aren't a lot of QHR properties (19 in the whole of Gold Coast City, which are listed in the individual suburbs where they are found). Whereas City of Brisbane has 499 (if you were thinking of a SE Qld list, it will be very long). I had been thinking that a better approach was to take Category:Queensland Heritage Register and create sub-cats for each LGA. Of course one can have a list article and a category, but I'm just not sure what extra value we buy with a list article. I had been intending to automate the process of this re-categorisation by LGA (rather than do it by hand). I think I can generate a AWB script from the spreadsheet for that purpose. There are about 1700 QHR sites in Queensland. There are additionally local government heritage registers, but their availability and format varies widely (often just minimal lists with no real info to provide clear evidence of notability).Kerry (talk) 05:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
On 18 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of G:link stations, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, three stations will be added to the initial sixteen stations in the G:link, a light rail system serving the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of G:link stations. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Australian University Games, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Darwin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
