• Notes:

• Sangwon redirects to Korean name, why?
• Tokchon redirects to Sungri Motor Plant, which is inside the city. Redirect should be removed to make way for main article.
• I've tried to stay consistent with Visviva's scheme for naming and disambiguation, except that I follow the current title for existing articles.
• There may be more existing articles I've missed, because different naming schemes are used. If you find any, please change the wikilinks in this table.
• I haven't checked for duplicate names between NK provinces. More disambig may be needed.
• Helpful map of all second-level divs here [1].
