New Agenda Items

 * Infoboxes; Two examples: Bournemouth, Hants and Advent, Cornwall


 * Colours
 * PLUs


 * It was decided to adjust the colours in the parish infobox to those that now display on Advent, Cornwall. The colour chosen for the heading background is Gainsboro; code: DC DC DC.


 * Steve did a replace to rename poor law union pages that lack a county name in the title to also include a county name. The code in the infobox template now leads to the correct poor law union page.


 * Online Parish Register Abbreviation Tables


 * With or without lines?


 * It was decided to remove the lines from the boxes in online parish register abbreviation tables. Steve is exploring ways to do a global replace to remove them. He has already started on Cornwall and Devon.


 * Standardised breadcrumb trails


 * It was decided to include three elements on a parish breadcrumb trail: Nation &gt; County &gt; County Parishes.


 * Proposed changes to census template


 * The template British Census was shortened. It is to include a link to descriptions of websites with online censuses as well as the FHLC link to that parish's census records on microfilm.


 * At what point does a parish page graduate from being a stub?


 * There was general agreement that a page graduates from being a stub once the parish history is written and information about the place's parish registers is added.
