Talk:Central Borehamwood

Mapping

I added the Southeastern corner or the suburb to the big map on the bottom of the page. "location3321" should be "St Alban's Church", but I can't get it to appear for some reason. I'm a complete n00b at editing, so I don't have the slightest idea if I did something wrong.

There was a typo in the map template, only for location3321. :) Fixed it, now St Alban's shows up OK. --Tybalt Peroni 08:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Can we delete the extra maps now? --Angusburger 10:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Naming whilst mapping

By and large there will be no location pages for individual locations (that is specific named places rather than generic buildings such as "a factory") in Borehamwood yet.

If our intrepid mappers could please check their links after they update their entries, if their link is blue (i.e. live) then chances are that it's a name already used by a place in Malton. As per wiki naming conventions the link should be altered.

For example, The Shiel Building is in both Malton and West Borehamwood.

The link [[The Shiel Building]] directs a user to The Shiel Building in Malton.

The Borehamwood link should be rendered as [[The Shiel Building (Borehamwood)|The Shiel Building]] which will be a red (i.e. dead) link until the page is created, for example The Shiel Building.

In time disambiguation pages will need to be made to allow users to find the two locations from one search, and utilising these naming conventions now will allow us to find them easier to perform these tasks.

Doing this helps the newbies find where there are, especially players who have come aboard with this new promotion and may not yet be familiar with Malton.

Cross posting this to all Borehamwood suburb talk pages so that everyone sees it.
