I couldnt find anything about plumbing regulations in the wiki
so i tried to add a section on regulations
but the page is locked

then i hacked something into the end of

http://www.wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index....Plumbing_Links

but theres probably a more elegant way of adding links to regulations
and better places to link to...

ps it seems that most (if not all) of the links at
http://www.wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index....ry:Links_Pages
are internal links,
is there a bibliography of links to websites and books elsewhere?

That page lists the links articles by category, and in those articles
more or less all links are external. So I'm not really sure what you
mean.

Why not create a new article called Plumbing Regulations or something
similar?

If you need an account setup, drop me an email with a preferred username
and password and I will create one for you.

That's a catagory page anyway - you don't usually want content on those
(other than a brief intro perhaps) since they are mostly auto-maintained
by mediawiki.

Having said that its not locked if you are logged in - its only got a
block on unregistered users editing it (as have most established articles).

If you want to start a new article, just type your article title into
the search box, and it'll come back with a 'You can create this page'
message, which you just click.

To get your article to show up on the plumbing catgeory page, include
this line at the end of the article:
[[Category:Plumbing]]

And if you want to copy any of the wiki formatting in another article,
just go to that article and click on 'edit' to see the wikicode that
produces the effect. Then click 'cancel' as youre not editing that
article.

but rather than create a new article may I suggest adding links to
regulations to the existing page of links to regulations at:

http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php?title=Regulations

(If there were pages and pages-worth of links to plumbing regs I'd agree
with splitting them off into a separate article but I don't think having
zillions of little articles consisting just of one or two links really
helps.)

And by all means add a link from appropriate general plumbing-related
pages to the regs page.

Incidentally there are links from the regs page to the Building Regs
Approved Docs. Maybe someone could add a section to this article pointing
out what Building Regs/ADs cover what areas, i.e.
AD J = ...
AD F = ...
AD G = ...
AD L = ...
etc
