I just added England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to the monuments database.
Some issues I came across:
- Every country has a system to go down the tree like world -> <country> ->
<province> -> <municipality>. We use ISO 3166-2 for that (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB). Currently we don't have that for the UK. Would be nice to add
No reason why we couldn't split the West Midlands county page, for instance, by ISO code; there would be seven new pages as a result.
- List contain nested templates; I prefer not to have them (always source of
bugs and problems)
en.Wikipedia uses subtemplate extensively, for dates, coordinates and more. They're well structured and well documented, and not restricted to English topics (though there is an OS map refence template that is UK specific). They're also not going to go away.
- Scotland seems to have two templates;
- Cardiff seems to have it's own redundant template at
Both need to be resolved.
