: good point. Maybe I can add a (country) after their name? hmmm. I'll try some different permutations. Thanks for the feedback!

: Well, here's the thing. Right now the category page shows pipes by country - so if a visitor clicks on a countries name, they will see a list of pipe makers. Are the names we use here generally the names the pipe makers use? So if I click on Denmark, I will see a list of Danish pipe makers by the name they wish to be associated with. Maybe we don't need to change anything, but have a note at the top of the category page which explains that some pipe makers have different names?

There's another problem: "John Aylesbury" (DE), "Mauro Cateni" (IT), "Peter Rasmussen" (DK) and others more are not real persons but fictional names. In these cases I'd lean forward to sort "Mauro Cateni" (e.g.) under M. -- Now, as far as I can see, we haven't applied a standard consequently yet. That's making it difficult. For sure, doing it from now on would make it necassary to re-name numerous pages and alter x internal links. I'm aware of that, but have no clue at the moment. [[User:TseHa|TseHa]] | |||
