Propose move

To throw a spanner in the work, I would much prefer if we moved this to "The Times" (first choice) or "The Times of London" (second choice) rather than where it is now. I have never heard it referred to as "London Times" always the first two. I cannot find any reference to it being called the current name is The Times, and when I browse random issues of archival copies, it is

• 1 Jan 1785 The Daily Universal Register
• 1 Jan 1800 The Times
• 2 Jan 1900 The Times
• 2 Jan 1984 The Times

Nomenclature for articles

To assist in the classification of articles, the following nomenclature is in place

[[The Times/YYYY/type/article name]]

YYYY = year
type = as below
article name = name for article

Example

• [[The Times/1906/News/Dr. Garnett's Library]]
• The Times/1906/News/Dr. Garnett's Library

Types

• Arts
• Court circular
• Editorial
• Funeral
• Honours
• Inquest
• Letter to the Editor
• News
• Obituary
• Public notice
• Wills and bequests

To assist internal linking, one can use Template:The Times link, especially useful for Author: namespace pages. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:36, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

For The Times/1906/News/Dr. Garnett's Library

• "Dr. Garnett's Library," in The Times (1906)

Probably can do a specific template for adding to the table

Looking at the set out here, we can probably look to do a reasonable standard template that allows easier linking of works where they follow the more generic multiple levels that I used for {{The Times link}} (long links from Author namespace pages to articles. If that is seen of benefit, then I can apply my brain to it. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
