Thanks for this clarification.<br>
Should the wiki not have a section on where to place the tags?<br>
I see that the distinction on the various tags are based on inhabitants
and do not respect or reflect the titles for city and muncipality
(stad/gemeente, ville/commune) which are regulated in Belgium.<br>

If the fusion municipality has the same name as a deelgemeente/section, then
there's only one place node with that name. Don't add a second one for the
fusion municipality. This node is then placed near the center of this village
or town ('center' as in the busiest part of the village or town; I guess the
town hall is often located around there, but not necessarily).
In cases like "Heuvelland", "Langemark-Poelkapelle" etc. an extra node is
placed somewhere in the center of the fusion municipality with this name, but
it's a bit arbitrary ('center' as in the middle). Sometimes it makes more
sense to place it between the villages or towns belonging to that fusion
municipality.
And just disregard all the "pilot municipality" stuff, i.e. don't put the
"Langemark-Poelkapelle" place node over the center of Langemark just because
it was its pilot municipality and the town hall is located over there.
Greetings
Ben

<pre wrap="">At the start of the fusion, one of the villages that merged was the so

the new name for the fusion.
I assume that in the case where an alternative name was given, there was
also this 'pilootgemeente' and perhaps the town hall is also located there.
Placing: at town center or geographic center of the fusion?
Another question arises:
My village Huldenberg consists out of Huldenberg, Loonbeek, Neerijse,
Sint-Agatha-Rode and Ottenburg.
Should Huldenberg have two POI with the name on the different levels
(once for the fusion village as a whole and one for the village itself)?

Gerard.
