As already mentioned in the Senate Hall discussion here, it would be beneficial to add a demonym section to the {{City}} template, similar to how we already have in the {{CelestialBody}} template. There are already multiple instances of in-universe demonyms for cities including Tyrena (Tyrenan), Spinnaker (Spinnakerian), and Parrlay (Parrlayan)... (thank you Commander Code-8 for your examples). Having a demonym option for this template would make a page more accurate and more accessible to find, and it would not hurt to add, as you could just leave it blank.

Wikipedia already has a demonym section for its city template, which is widely used on their platform, and demonyms for cities are not uncommon at all.

So, I propose a change to the city template to include a "demonym" section as seen below 

{{City
|image=
|name=
|constructed=
|destroyed=
|rebuilt=
|builder=
|mayor=
|planet=
|moon=
|continent=
|location=
|climate=
|interest=
|population=
|demonym=
|affiliation=
}}
