Engine names

[edit]

For some strange reason, none of the names of the engines point to the locomotives they are supposed to describe, but to their mountainous namesakes. The options are to remove all links (as they are in principle incorrect and misleading) or introduce a new column named "name" and rename the existing column "name" to "namesake".

@The Banner: That's right: it's a long-established convention that loco numbers are linked to the article about the specific loco; loco names are linked to the person, place or thing that the loco is named after. This article is no exception. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
