Talk:London
Split by century
The London page in its current form is huge, and yet only contains a fraction of the information available on the subject within the DWU. I propose that - where we have enough information available - we split London by centuries; for example, we already have enough information on the page to create separate pages for 19th century London, 20th century London and 21st century London. This would allow us to go into more detail on the geography, culture and history of London within each of these time periods. It would also help to alleviate some of the problems of the page in its current form. London would still remain, but as a broad overview of London throughout time. The smaller details would go on relevant century pages. I've created a basic mock-up for how such a page might appear for 19th century London at User:66 Seconds/Sandbox 6. Please let me know your thoughts. 66 Seconds ☎ 16:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think that would be sense; I suppose it would be akin to Time Lord incarnation pages. A navigation template or something of the sort would perhaps be wise. Aquanafrahudy 📢 16:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
I agree with this. Although wouldn’t it make more sense to use terms such as Victorian London and the like, rather than millennia? Danniesen ☎ 16:44, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- In that case, what would we call a theoretical 21st century London, then? Aquanafrahudy 📢 16:48, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I like this and support naming the pages by century such as 19th century London. Bongo50 ☎ 16:51, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with doing this split, and the proposed naming scheme (with redirects from Victorian London ect, ofc). Cousin Ettolrahc ☎ 16:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Glad to see support for this. A redirect from Victorian London to 19th century London is a good idea, as is a navigation template. If there's nobody against, I'll make a start on the pages. 66 Seconds ☎ 14:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Should we edit {{London counterparts}}, do you think, or make a new template? Aquanafrahudy 📢 18:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
