Mungindi, New South Wales → Mungindi — While the existing name complies with the letter of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia, it is grossly misleading as the town (and the scope of this article) crosses the New South Wales and Queensland border. As Mungindi is a unique name it does not need disambiguating, save for compliance with the guideline mentioned above. I therefore submit that this article is better named without a state disambiguator and Mungindi be considered an exception to the general rule. Mattinbgn\^talk 06:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe 'Mugindi, Australia'? — kwami (talk) 07:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I can't see any problem in this case with moving it to Mungindi - at least there's a good reason for it. Rebecca (talk) 07:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I support the move per Mattinbgn's reasoning. NSW should also be removed from the infobox. Melburnian (talk) 07:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Good find! I am not so sure {{Infobox Australian place}} supports not having a state shown, however. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 07:42, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

That's not an issue. Removing the state from the field will force the national, rather than a state, map.[1] --AussieLegend (talk) 09:49, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• Support Despite the place having a NSW post code, having NSW in its name might be misleading and possibly offend the Queenslanders. Calistemon (talk) 08:40, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• Comment Barooga is in NSW and has a Victorian post code. Post codes are an imperfect guide to state affiliations ... -- Mattinbgn\^talk 08:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Thats why I'm supporting you moving it, Mattinbgn. However, if you want to tip the whole "compulsory disambiguation" thing, I suggest discussing it on Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia rather then tackeling one article at a time. That could be painful and time consuming. Calistemon (talk) 09:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• Support. Just incidentally, there are many "border hop" postcodes in Australia. Part of the Aussie romance I guess. Andrewa (talk) 11:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
• Support The present name is clearly misleading. No need to disambiguate by having Australia in title as there are no other Mungindis. Skinsmoke (talk) 06:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
• Support Mungindi as a human settlement is a one and only so no need for arbitrary disambig. Bleakcomb (talk) 23:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

commons category problem

When I corrected the reference name in this article earlier today, I noticed that an error message came up in preview mode only "Warning: Commons category does not match the Commons sitelink on Wikidata - please check (this message is shown only in preview)", which I do not understand. But it does seem to work without any problem.Fleet Lists (talk) 02:37, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Historical population data

I have removed this table from the article. The sourcing is vague and certainly the data (even allowing that it is only for NSW) does not appear to be correct for 2021, begging the question about the rest of the data. It is copied here below for anyone who wants to pursue the matter.
