As far as I can judge it, the following rules seem to have gotten majorities:
- Normal rules on disambiguation apply: When there is no need to disambiguate
(that is, if there is no other subject with the same name, nor likely to come into existence soon, or when the city is clearly the most important subject under its title), we use simply [[City]].
Which, if any, is the ideal form among these examples?
1). [[Madrid]] redirects to [[Madrid, Spain]]. For other uses, see [[Madrid (disambiguation)]]
2). [[Paris, France]] redirects to [[Paris]]. For other uses, see [[Paris (disambiguation)]]
3). [[Athens, Greece]] redirects to [[Athens]]; disambiguation at the bottom of the page. (A note of irony here: Athens, Greece has received a less substantial article than [[Athens, Ohio]]).
