Revert page move request

Can someone please revert the page move from

WP:NCTHE it should not be included. I can't face working out how to do it without breaking some procedural rule. Thanks. Cnbrb (talk) 00:07, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

The article is currently at
WP:RFD. RudolfRed (talk) 00:22, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

In fact the page move was the other way around. The article used to be at
The Chalfont Viaduct but was moved, leaving behind a redirect which is normal. RudolfRed (talk) 00:24, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

No, the original article was at
The Chalfont Viaduct, which is not appropriate. Now it's been moved and moved back again and I don't really know what is going on. Can we just not have a The in the title please? Thanks. Cnbrb (talk) 00:36, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

OK, it's been re-re-reverted now, now without the 'The', thank you. Cnbrb (talk) 00:48, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Line breaks

What is the difference between "<br/>" and "<br>"? Please {{

There is rarely or never any effective difference. Pedants prefer <br/> to <br>, but they believe <br /> is the only correct version. Maproom (talk) 17:27, 10 November 2018 (UTC) Pinging Jax 0677. Maproom (talk) 17:27, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jax 0677: There is currently no difference in the rendered page because MediaWiki automatically converts <br> to <br />. Some source code tools work better with <br /> which is valid XHTML while <br> is not. See more at Help:Line-break handling#<br /> which recommends <br />.

@
Denverjeffrey: That particular sort of map is based on the coordinates in Wikidata, which were incorrect in this case. (You can see what information Wikidata has by clicking on "Wikidata item" under "tools" in the left-hand sidebar.) I've emended them in Wikidata and also revised the coordinates you added in the article, which were overprecise. Deor (talk) 18:15, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

Okay, thanks.
