Template talk:UKHBS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've patched up the colours to make it more consistent and appealing. I've also changed the structure so it's no longer a whole string of table rows; instead it is now a series of lists (which is far more appropriate).

Also, I changed mediæval to mediaeval. This is not the eighteenth century. El T 15:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Further changed it to medieval to accord with (1) Wikipedia's other articles (including those about Britain), and (2) the fact that the latter spelling is used on ten times as many UK pages as the former, which I think is more than enough to warrant change!

[edit] Move request

Minor issue, maybe not even worth mentioning, but I would like to move the template to something like "History of British Isles". The current name doesn't reflect the whole of the British Isles (i.e. UK is only one political entity among five).

Also, I would like to add a similar solution to what is employed on Template:British Isles, whereby on Ireland-related pages the title can be replaced with a user-defined value. On the British Isles template this is usually "Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man", I think for a history-related template the common "History of the Isles" may be more appropriate.

Doing these would, I think (no promises), make a space where the template may (no promises) be welcome on Ireland-related articles. It worked for the British Isles template. --sony-youth^talk 20:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] image

can we get rid of the Stonehenge image? In the large majority of articles transcluding this template, it is completely off topic (go to, e.g., Early Modern Britain and be greeted by a picture of Stonehenge... very appropriate), and it takes up valuable screen space that could be used for an image relevant to the topic. dab (𒁳) 10:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
