Talk:Elstree

The south edge of Elstree appears to be the edge of the city; however, according to the Borehamwood map, there is a suburb to the southeast of Elstree. Is it possible that Borehamwood is not a perfect square? Squideshi 18:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems it's something like Newtown in Monroeville. This map is VERY inaccurate, the suburb is more more bigger, of course.--Pheen 22:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It appears that Halberry Alley School is the southwest corner of Elstree. The "impassable edge of the quarantine zone, with layers of razorwire, low fencing and concrete-slab walls blocking your way" is located to the west, southwest, and south of this location.

I've not been there, but I would think Elstree is located more to the southwest from Borehamwood, instead of plain west as was assumed. We've found a small suburb called Radlett 17 blocks to the northwest of West Borehamwood. So if you scout Northeast for 17 blocks from Elstree, you should find yourself in West or southwest Borehamwood. Recommend you look for west borehamwood as it's been mostly mapped already.

The suburb is indeed misshapen. Since we have now mapped the western border of Elstree as well as the southern border, we now know that it is 21 blocks tall and 27 blocks wide. I have a map detailing the areas we have found so far on a separate website. If someone could format this to fit the wiki map, I would greatly appreciate it. --Ragrillo 00:50, 31 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.
