:Hi Nathan, yes although this topic came up from a Suffolk perspective, we think the discussion needs to take in a wider application. I would be interested to hear/understand the importance of having the parish links in the county Navbox. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 18:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC) | :Hi Nathan, yes although this topic came up from a Suffolk perspective, we think the discussion needs to take in a wider application.

::Thanks Steve. I'm sure you all think I'm crazy :) I look forward to explaining the rationale of listing parishes in "temporary" navboxes. I think it would be easiest to demonstrate by sharing my screen in a meeting. [[User:Murphynw|Murphynw]] 23:33, 28 January 2014 (UTC) | |||

This must be a preliminary idea of how to use the navboxes. On the Suffolk pages I have inserted it right into the Civil registration section [[Bedfield, Suffolk#Resources]]. There is no need to link to topics since they are already incorporated into the parish page. Then I have a link to the [[Suffolk Civil Registration]] page. Then I have a link to the [[Hoxne Hundred, Suffolk]] of which I could have called the Hoxne Deanery or ''Hoxne hundred or Deanry'' page.

:Hi Don, this is certainly a proposal that we can discuss and change as we understand all the issues in play. I like the ''Parishes in the Hundred and District of..'' navbox you have created. I notice that you have coded this directly in the parish page. Did you consider creating them as templates? The purpose of navboxes is to group together related links. So even though the topic links will be in the body of the article, they are also useful if repeated in a navbox at the end of the main article. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 18:29, 24 January 2014 (UTC) | :Hi Don, this is certainly a proposal that we can discuss and change as we understand all the issues in play.

Hi Steve | Hi Steve I don't think I have progressed far enough into the process to establish template navboxes for the districts. There would be twenty different navboxes as there are 20 registration districts in Suffolk. [[Hoxne Hundred, Suffolk]] is the only page developed, 19 more pages need be developed. [[Hundreds and Boroughs of Suffolk]]. The relationship of the hundreds, districts, and deanery's need to be sorted out and how to integrate them and name the pages. I do think that the links to the parishes in district would be more suite in the Civil Registration section. I have altered the {{template:Suffolk]] and removed all the parishes. Some more thought will have to go into how that template will evolve. [[User:Donjgen|Donjgen]] 15:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC) | ||

If all of England's parishes are to be grouped in hundreds, and it's too much work for Don to complete Suffolk, who is going to do this to the remainder of the counties?
