{{Places in Bedfordshire }}
[edit ]Thanks to Rick Block a template which can be put on every Bedfordshire town and village page has been created designed to link articles together. You can add it to the page with {{Places in Bedfordshire}}.
Thanks to Eopsid there are now two templates for Bedfordshire towns & villages {{Places in Bedfordshire}} for settlements in Central Bedfordshire and {{Places in Bedford Borough}} for settlements in the Borough of Bedford.
Example for Biggleswade:
Example for Bedford:
There is also a template for articles about places in Luton and related articles:
{{Bedfordshire-geo-stub }}
[edit ]Bedfordshire has its own stub template:
This Bedfordshire location article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
I have designed this Schools template for all Schools and FE Colleges in Bedfordshire, and this should now be on all School and College articles for Bedfordshire:
