My intention was that "Districts of Northern Ireland" should be a container for the two periods as the retention of the name "District" can only be a source of confusion. Maling the two explicit in a container makes such confusion less likely IMHO. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:32, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is enough to have two categories, one for the current and one for the former. Adding a third category adds confusion rather than removing it. jnestorius(talk) 13:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What about Belfast? It's in both time periods. To include it in a former category would give the impression that it not an ongoing entity. To exclude it from former would give the impression that it was not part of the 2015 reform. The threefold arrangement allows for both periods to be valid for Belfast.
