The WikiProject Chinese cities aims primarily to standardize prefecture-level city and county-level city entries of the People's Republic of China. The 4 municipalities of the PRC (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Tianjin) are covered by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Chinese provinces, but due to their nature as cities, they will also follow some of the guidelines given here. This WikiProject is likely not going to cover Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong at this stage.

[edit] Infobox

All settlements in China should use the standard infobox of {{Infobox Settlement}}. This infobox provides a consistent look between the various types settlements in China and in the other articles of the wikipedia like Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City, and Saigon. The default "settlement_type" is city, but it can be changed to reflect any type of settlement, like counties, towns, villages, etc. {{Infobox Settlement}} also has a super imposable dot map feature that allows a map to be used with any settlement in China. It also as a location map feature that will automatically place a dot on a map of China if the coordinates are known (see Kunshan). Other examples include Beijing (see below) and Shanghai
