Template talk:Schools in Essex

Very poor
This is a very poor template - much too large. Victuallers 22:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

This template has far too many red links. It would be much better if they were all removed. Most of these schools are highly unlikely ever to have Wikipedia articles. Dahliarose 23:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Victuallers and Dahliarose. Does anyone object to the redlinks being taken out? Xn4  03:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No one has yet objected, and good practice elsewhere is no redlinks, so I have taken out the current crop. Xn4  ( talk ) 04:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Southend and Thurrock
This template excludes Thurrock but includes Southend-on-Sea. Both are LEAs, so either Thurrock schools should be added or Southend-on-Sea schools should be removed. MRSC • Talk 14:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing out the problem, I've added Category:Schools in Thurrock to the template. Per discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools, the templates are based on counties and not LEAs. LEAs are relevant only to maintained schools and also are constantly changing. (For instance, there are current proposals to create nine new LEAs). Xn4  02:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I've rearranged by LEA. The template would have become far to big if combined together into one massive template. Francium12 (talk) 16:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
