- Thanks for your review. QPQ now provided and overlinking sorted (I think I've removed all instances). I have archived the 2 National Heritage List for England links, but unfortunately the NHLE template doesn't supported archive-url and archive-date parameters (perhaps these should be added?). I'll try to work out a way of including the archive links in the refs. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 17:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
