    Sorry Andy, I missed your post earlier mmm... I sort of got that, though it came very close to flummoxing me. I'm still lost as to how/why this could be incorporated into Opus:h?: D

    Hi Niels I've removed the Sub tag from the Syndicate article. The Category 'Dominica' needs sorting though; the Dominica article has categories 'Lesser Antilles' and Caribbean. Can I leave you to sort that?

    OK Niels, what do you think of the result? D

    Hi Andy Thanks for your interest in helping the Locations along. Unfortunately ... I really haven't a clue what you're talking about :gh: and the links to Wiki are in techi speak as well, so I'm completely stuck :h?: Looking at the Belvide page I can see there's a lot of code in the...

    Yes, it was just the Galapagos one I was thinking of (maybe use the same format if there are some equally 'difficult' ones). D Edit: sorry got the 'bold' wrong... Just Galapagos I'm talking about LOL

    I've thought of a possible solution to Galapagos... What if we re-name the current Check-list then copy just the species into a new Check-list? D

    Template/format for all locations

    Good point Ben - I'd go along with that. The only problem I can see is some of the Check-lists have a lot of other information in them see Galapagos Islands and there are a few others like that, so whether that one, in particular, should be broken down into each Island, I don't know - or how...

    Oooh whey hey Ben, we seem to be getting somewhere:t::-O I was going to suggest that there were no more than, say, 8 species on a row, but with the check boxes, I think it should be left at 6, so species can be added without throwing out the layout. D

    Hi Niels As long as each row wasn't initially completely filled, it would be easy enough, just insert the species. I can't see any mention of 'boxes' in the Help menu. D

    I'm completely lost with how Categories work. For instance... select 'E' in Locations and there's a 'Sub Category' for Europe. Click on that and you get all the European countries come up (at least I think they're all there not really checked LOL) But where has 'Europe' come from? And, if a...

    Yep, I think I'm with you there Ben. I don't really think there's a problem with using RSPB, I think that's known generally world-wide (just waiting now for someone to prove me wrong:-O ) By Category... do you mean adding [[Category:RSPB]] at the bottom? I'm not really sure how this works as I...

    Two difficult posers for us at this time of night Ben;) (second post first - still thinking on the first one:-O ) Most of the 'good' articles cover the time of year under Notable Species and I've been trying to break up the paragraphs to reflect this - Passage Migrants, Resident Breeders etc I...

    André: Thanks for dealing with the only bit of JT's post that I could've answered;) :-O :-O Are we all agreed then, that we'll strip all titles down to the site name only? We'd need to make sure that any relevant information that has been removed was put into the body text somewhere. Like jt...

    I'm not sure that the 'rares' generally appear in the Check-list - I could be wrong about that though. Mostly I only have to do re-directs for them in the Rarities section and don't seem to see them in the Check-list. D

    Oh that's a relief André I'm keen to go with a very simplified title... but still rather at cross-purposes with myself:h?: as I do find seeing the 'country' name in the title rather helpful sometimes..there again I wish it wasn't there:gh: I'll go with majority view:-O D

    Oh and while I've got your attention;) Are we going to leave the Check-list as-is, I seem to remember somewhere you were working on a different um.. layout?? D

    Thanks Ben That appears to be what I've been doing - copying and pasting the existing title and enclosing in the square brackets. Relief:-O D

    Hi Ben What you say does make sense, basically. Can you tell me though - some of the locations have links to other sites (for instance the Hawaii ones) if the titles get changed will the links 'break' or will Opus allow for that? D

    Hi again jt Yes you're quite right... and no - you're not crazy.:-O As you said we did discuss the titles earlier in posts 24-28 but no real decision was made nor action taken - apart from Wintibird has tied up the titles for the Swiss sites Switzerland so there is now some uniformity amongst...
