Welcome to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) task force of the Water sports WikiProject. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of RNLI-related articles and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic.
If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Every subject that involves the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
WikiProject Water sports has a few longstanding goals, which are in place to provide a direction for expansion.
|
Articles about lifeboat stations should be titled with capital letters as per WP:NOUN.
Articles about actual lifeboats should be titled as follows (the italics for the title are added by the {{Infobox ship}} template):
If a lifeboat does not have a name, then the article should be titled using their hull number:
| ON | Op. No. | Name | Built | In service | Station | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1079 | 44-022 | The William and Jane | 1982 | 1982–1998 | Blyth | Sold to New Zealand |
With only two primary page editors at this time, who are in disagreement, the Tit-for-Tat re-editing of lifeboat "Tables in station articles" cannot continue. Until such time as there is agreement on a format, for now, the directive is removed to the talk page. As for existing tables, for now, what is done is done, and should not be changed. Discussion can continue on the Talk page. Martin Ojsyork (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
