Linking[edit]

In my opinion, the names of the locomotives should probably not link to their namesakes, unless that is the generally idea. I would assume that the locomotives themselves are of some note, at least some of them. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 18:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this article points largely at unrelated articles and disambiguation pages. This misleads the reader and discourages article creation. - Dravecky (talk) 21:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. This still needs attention. To clarify what Cromwellt is saying, for example locomotive 70000 Britannia should not link to Britannia, but to BR standard class 7 70000 Britannia. I'm willing to make a start, but I doubt I have sufficient time to fix them all.--Rfsmit (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very few loco names are entirely original: most were named after someone, somewhere or something. It's normal practice on lists of locomotives to link the numbers to articles on the specific locomotive, and the names to whatever the loco was named after. Therefore, the link [[BR standard class 7 70000 Britannia|70000]] should be added, and [[Britannia]] should be left alone. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:10, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
