DYK?[edit]

The article's long enough, I think it would be worth nominating this at T:TDYK. Nev1 (talk) 22:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes[edit]

The article now has two infoboxes. It should normally only have one. Any chance of merging them, @Peteb16? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:49, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how as we're talking about two different structures, built and demolished at different times with entirely different engines and various other statistics. The infobox doesn't currently allow us to add more than one set of information which is why I made two. Is the answer to get the code of the infobox changed so we can? @Mike Peel ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 23:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe we should have two separate articles, one for each building? Or at least two separate Wikidata entries, perhaps with one that collates the two together. Or maybe we could distinguish between the two in each line while covering them in the same infobox? I don't know the answer here! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 00:23, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I went with your third suggestion. What do you think? @Mike Peel ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 16:47, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good, thanks for making the change! Is it worth just saying "No. 1" or "No. 2" rather than repeating "Maple" in the infobox? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:54, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I originally typed, but it seemed to me to became ambiguous as to what it was referring to. For example "Maple No.1: George Saxon & Co Maple No.2: Urmson & Thompson" clearly we're talking about an engine in a particular mill. Where as "No.1: George Saxon & Co No.2: Urmson & Thompson" may be misconstrued as two different engines (at different times) in the same building. Some mills do have records of engines being replaced. I realise it's obvious with the construction and demolition dates but I wanted the formatting to be consistent. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, it probably is best to leave 'Maple' in there then. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:11, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
