Talk:Catalogue of paintings in the National Gallery, London

Abbreviation (YP)?
What does the annotation (YP) mean? Scarabocchio (talk) 10:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It stands for Your Paintings, which was the precursor of Art UK. It looks as if all these links might now be broken. Ham II (talk) 22:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The links still work, but they should be relabelled, or unlabelled. Perhaps remove the '(YP)' leaving just an outlink icon? (I can make a bulk change like that easily enough). Scarabocchio (talk) 12:09, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Curious – they weren't working for me last night; now they do. How about something like the following:
 * Would there be a way of italicising all the titles in a bulk edit? Ham II (talk) 22:52, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll look at setting up templates for an Art UK artwork, patterned after IMDb title, and another for an Art UK artist, patterned after IMDb name. These would future proof us against address changes in the links, and allow us to define text formatting and the outlink text in a single place.
 * Of course, that still leaves the challenge of recognising and marking up the artwork titles in the first place. I'll see what I can do. Scarabocchio (talk) 10:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The ubiquity of the Art UK artwork URLs makes recognising the titles straightforward. The only problem is a malformed entry, eg for Batoni. I should be able to convert the whole page fairly easily once these are cleaned out. Scarabocchio (talk) 12:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * How is Batoni's entry malformed? Is it because there are links to articles on each of the paintings? I think those are more important than the links to Art UK, myself. I wouldn't want something that too closely resembles IMDb title in appearance, with the title in an external link. I especially would like to keep the artists' names as internal links.

 * The re-write/re-implementation of the list is now a work-in-progress... patterned on your suggested formats. Scarabocchio (talk) 23:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
