Was this created from any authoritative source or restrictive definition? The lists seem to be extrememly short to me, but I don't want to add more ports to the list that I think belong there without some reference for completeness. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
I am about to overwrite this list with a list of ports as they appear in the Gazetteer. This will have the following advantages:
The disadvantages are:
Eventually I will merge the previous information into the current article. Until then, I'm of the view that this overwrite is an improvement. The previous version is still in the article history; revert me if you disagree. Hesperian 13:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
With reference to the comment, "I prefer to link to the actual harbours, rather than link directly to the "wrong" place." Not sure if you have been to Ulladulla, the harbour is at the centre of the town. I think it would be better if we included information on harbours in the place and allowed the article to break out when it got too detailed. A bit like schools in a community. I doubt for Ulladulla it will be a separate article - a challenge of course for somebody to prove me wrong. It does need to be a separate section within the article. My redirection policy only applies to very small places like Bermagui and Ulladulla and I intend that they should indeed have a separate section on the harbour within the placename article.-- Golden Wattle talk 23:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
The article states in the heading The list also contains some entries for places that are widely recognised as ports or harbours, yet have not been gazetted as such. These are noted and individually referenced in the list. - How should we note and reference to identify clearly? I think there are going to be similar numbers of ungazetted places as gazetted places in the end for NSW at least, particularly if this list includes historic ports such as Tathra - I think it should, but of course noted as such. -- Golden Wattle talk 00:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for making it some sort of complete list (I only just noticed). Should we make redirects from the red links, and disambiguate wrong blue ones to unique article names for the ports (then make redirects to a town there)? The redirects mean this list is still right if someone later turns the redirect into an article. Examples: Port Glenelg (presently red) will likely never have an article, so I'd like to make it a redirect to Glenelg, South Australia. Outer Harbour is presently a redirect to Outer Harbor, South Australia, but is listed as a port in Queensland. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
What about using "wikitable sortable" so that the ports can be sorted in:
