Districts that have a combined article. When a district council article exists its put in brackets. Fareham is split despite being unparished as is Havant but the old Havant district was "Havant and Waterloo". Note that a district and its council should not normally have separate articles (unless like Eastbourne the district is combined with the settlement) so if a split is desired and the council article exists the council article could be moved instead of creating a new article from scratch. Note when "unparished" is used it refers to a named unparished area rather than a part of a district that is unparished, for example although Bury is entirely unparished it contains 6 unparished areas (the 6 former districts it was formed from in 1974).
From Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about districts/Archive 1#List of districts named from settlements with modifications.
Most that have post 1974 boundaries had only minor changes in 1974 [1]. If only minor changes occurred such as moving a part of a parish then this usually is still considered "longstanding" boundaries as opposed to when an entire district or at least parish is merged since minor changes to parish boundaries are common.
