Somewhere the RN needs to be separated out from the USN. A basic function of an encyclopedia is to impart meaningful knowledge, not to make the reader click on every single entry to see how many USN ships got transferred to the RN. Exactly how many of these were transferred to the RN? How many served exclusively in the USN? How many were cancelled by the end of the war? How many were lost? (All of this information can be given in standardized parentheticals). IMO a summary is needed too, at least back at the original escort carrier article.--Buckboard 06:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Table info attribution edit

The info recently added to the "Laid Down", "Launched" and "Commissioned" columns was taken from the individual ship articles here on Wikipedia. See User talk:66.0.125.22#List of United States Navy escort aircraft carriers for more info. FYI - wolf 05:59, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Links edit

@Derekbridges: in this edit you removed the HMS template and added standard wikilinks with pipes instead. You also removed the hull codes from numerous templates, (yes, they were currently suppressed, but still... ).

I was curious as to why you made these changes. - wolf 20:27, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

I removed the hull codes from templates to match the actual article names instead of having redirects. I changed some templates to standard links to keep hull codes where the actual article name doesn't have the hull code. I know the redirects work, but I figured I would fix the links to get rid of the redirects. Derekbridges (talk) 23:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok then. Seems like a lot effort just to avoid redirects but, whatever floats your boat (no pun intended). Thanks for the reply. - wolf 00:18, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
