Abbreviation (YP)?[edit]

What does the annotation (YP) mean? Scarabocchio (talk) 10:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scarabocchio: It stands for Your Paintings, which was the precursor of Art UK. It looks as if all these links might now be broken. Ham II (talk) 22:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The links still work, but they should be relabelled, or unlabelled. Perhaps remove the '(YP)' leaving just an outlink icon? (I can make a bulk change like that easily enough). Scarabocchio (talk) 12:09, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scarabocchio: Curious – they weren't working for me last night; now they do. How about something like the following:

Hans von Aachen (1552–1614) (Art UK): The Amazement of the Gods (Art UK)

Would there be a way of italicising all the titles in a bulk edit? Ham II (talk) 22:52, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ham II: I'll look at setting up templates for an Art UK artwork, patterned after {{IMDb title}}, and another for an Art UK artist, patterned after {{IMDb name}}. These would future proof us against address changes in the links, and allow us to define text formatting and the outlink text in a single place.

Of course, that still leaves the challenge of recognising and marking up the artwork titles in the first place. I'll see what I can do. Scarabocchio (talk) 10:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The ubiquity of the Art UK artwork URLs makes recognising the titles straightforward. The only problem is a malformed entry, eg for Batoni. I should be able to convert the whole page fairly easily once these are cleaned out. Scarabocchio (talk) 12:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is Batoni's entry malformed? Is it because there are links to articles on each of the paintings? I think those are more important than the links to Art UK, myself. I wouldn't want something that too closely resembles {{IMDb title}} in appearance, with the title in an external link. I especially would like to keep the artists' names as internal links.

The re-write/re-implementation of the list is now a work-in-progress... patterned on your suggested formats. Scarabocchio (talk) 23:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
