The cities stored under 'Saint' now point to 'Saint'. Those stored under 'St.' still point to 'St.'.
I was going to start moving the 'St.' cities in Missouri to 'Saint', but decided to do some research. My understanding of Wikipedia policy is there is a general guideline to avoid use of abbreviations. I've looked for an official policy on 'Saint' vs. 'St.' and haven't found one yet, although I did find some angry words about changing 'St.' to 'Saint' on a user:talk page - I don't consider that official.
If anybody sees this, can you guide me to a policy page? I'll follow an official policy. If there isn't one, my thought would be "don't use abbreviations." Using that criteria, we should move all 'St.' articles to 'Saint'.
If we go the other way, we should move all the 'Saint' articles to 'St.'. The idea of cities -> 'St.' and people -> 'Saint' is viable, too, but it leaves a funny taste in my brain.
Love to hear other thoughts.

Much of the information in the towns and villages articles belongs here; Missouri does not recognize "town" as an entity in the state. Rt66lt 07:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC) I have went through and staightened out the towns and villages and cities articles via the state's official manual. Rt66lt 03:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be a major difference between "list of cities" and "cities of" articles. I clearly see the distinction, but am adding to this page as if it were the latter variety. If users on this talk page think it necessary the article could be split into two pages, but i'm not certain that is necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaronDierkes ( talk • contribs) 08:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The ranked list has this sentence above it: Population data based on 2012 estimates.
However, that is not true, since there are also populations from 2010 Census. Maybe something else was tried to say?
