We are planning to give the UK administrative wiki pages a bit of a spring clean which are all a bit random, not very well linked and contain quite a lot of duplicated content and some very out-of-date content.
The plan is as follows: Firstly we will create wiki pages for the English and welsh counties that don't already have one (not many missing actually). We will then go through all the country pages and get them into a similar format with a live map at the top and a 'place' list down the right hand side. If there are articles for towns and districts within the county we will link to these from the county page. We will create an England page and move the list of English Counties to this page from the UK page We will create a Wales page (there isn't one yet!) and link it to the counties in Wales which we will create if necessary. We will move any information about towns from the UK page to the relevant country page We will then shrink the UK page down to a list of national projects (motorways/cycle routes, A roads etc) and then a list of pages for the parts of the UK (England,Wales,Scotland N.Ireland). The general format we will be using for county pages will be the one used for Suffolk, however we will not dump any current information from existing County pages, we will just move it down the page. Anything blatantly out-of-date will be removed. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Suffolk Any thoughts? Please say now if you disagree with any of the above. When I say we, it is because I and JossSmithson (who works for ITO) will be doing the work between us. If anyone else wants to do any of this then please join in.
