Is it better to have all of the settlements listed alphabetically, as is the current schema for this template, or is it better to filter out the cities and towns into a separate section from the villages? Either way, is it better to have the villages all together or separated by tehsil/taluka as is done in the Yadgir District template? I note that some templates at the district level put all of the non-settlement article for a district together with the cities and larger towns, and then put the villages in individual templates by tehsil/taluka/mandal. Is that format more useful? My intuition is that a lot depends upon how the templates are intended to be used. Are they primarily a finding aid based upon the seeker knowing the name of the place (even if not the exact spelling), or primarily a finding aid knowing about the place (relative location, size), but not its name?
