Talk:List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cumbria

Expanded table
With 278 sites it fell over due to too many template calls when formated as other recent sssi lists, so I called directly to the citation refs and ticks - which solved the problem, although it will still be pretty slow for most users. But what can you do when a county has so many good places!.

Limitations on current data. I have not viewed all the citations in creating this table, relying on data from the the Natural England summary spreadsheet. There are two specific issues that may arise from this:-
 * geological interest: I have relied on the 'GCR' tag to show which have geological interest, and have only added a joint interest where a GCR also has other designations (not including AONB or NP). This may be a false asumption on a few sites, and future checking will be helpful.
 * creation date: This is the major limitation of the summary - it only lists a renewal date so does not show the original creation date. One day it may be necessary to go through the refs to find this information. RobinLeicester (talk) 17:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Definitely a lot of template calls, and pretty slow to load, even on 20 Meg/broadband. I trimmed down the content to try to speed things up. Naturally 278 rows is a lot, nothing can be done about that. After some messing, I felt the best move was to remove the lengthy GPS coords and just leave OS grid refs. That made a big difference to the pageload time (see totals below). It still didn't allow me to go back to y templates, but oh well.. as long as it looks like other SSSI lists, all's good.

Dead links?
It looks horribly as if all the links to Natural England pages might need to be updated: for Shap Fells I found the detailed "citation" info not at http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1000081.pdf but at https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/PDFsForWeb/Citation/1000081.pdf and for Arnside Knott not at http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1004315.pdf but at https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/PDFsForWeb/Citation/1004315.pdf. If this is a permanent change and not just a temporary blip, presumably every link here and on all the parallel lists for other counties will need to be updated. Ouch.
