[edit] Naming

I came here from a link (and found the location was wrong, so corrected it). More to the point, there didn't appear to be a consistent naming scheme, so I'm going through and creating one using the formal names structure, ie. "HMP Slade" with the pagenames as "Slade {HM Prison)" so that the pipe trick may be used. This also has the benefit of automatically disintermediating UK prisons from others (for instance, 'Albany prison' linked to the one in Australia, not the Isle of Wight!) --Vamp:Willow 11:52, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I've now discovered that "Her Majesty's Prisons" exist outside the UK. I hadn't realised we still exported convicts! anyway, all the renaming is done and redirects disintermediated (except one section when I lost my line but I shall do that now). Noting that a lot of the UK prisons have very little information I might consider it as "my project" when I get some time. --Vamp:Willow 22:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I'd have preferred to see HMP Slade, which is also unambigous, and is the usual form in prose. Morwen - Talk 09:43, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
