UPDATE

This page and its subpages were nominated for deletion. The other List of Liberty ships was edited to present all the information sortable either by ship name or by hull number, making this series of pages unnecessary. Although the formal outcome of the AFD decision was "Keep", the sense of the discussion was that the retention of this series be temporary, only while data cross-checking between these "by number" pages vs. essentially the same info in the "by name" pages is performed. doncram (talk) 23:47, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These pages are set up in a way that makes them terribly difficult to edit. I just want to go in and disambiguate a name, but I find myself unable to do this without spending a while figuring out how the pages are generated.

This is kind of bad, considering I'm not some random newcomer; I'm an admin. Isn't there a more intuitive way this could be set up? Isomorphic 07:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think would make them easier to edit? I'm all for anything for ease-of-use. (As the user that took on creating these pages, please know that I am not in any way being defensive.) — Bellhalla 11:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
