: The only issue I see with this method is that it will not function like all of the other Categories. If I understand you correctly, your plan is to expand the [[UK Monarchs]] article to include Anglo Saxons, Scots, etc, and that way it will serve as a springboard to finding the monarch you are interested in. As a result, however, that won't solve the issue you initially brought up, with [[Alfred the Great]] still being tagged as <nowiki>[[category:UK Monarchs]]</nowiki>. If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting just putting a link to the [[UK Monarchs]] article on each page involving a monarch in lieu of putting a category tag, which I think would confuse your average editor. I hope I've understood you correctly, and I hope I've been clear on my concerns about it. However, I can also see the value in your list article as well.--[[User:Colest|Colest]] 17:29, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

No. The name would be changed to, say, British Monarchs. However, anyone clicking on "UK Monarchs" "Kings of England" "Scottish Monarchs", or any of a number of terms, would be directed to it. But even if this doesn't get up (and after an hour plowing into early Scotland I almost hope it doesn't! -:))I will still be going into bat for the name change of the current sites. If Alfred is to be listed under "UK Monarchs" then so should Donald II of Scotland who died the year after Alfred. They were both ruling parts of the modern UK. (I'm getting carried away again, aren't I?)[[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 18:55, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
