Watson split
I think its time this section was split into two separate pages.
- Watson-class (P&S) lifeboats
- Watson-class (motor) lifeboats
Not sure I dare do this.
Any addition or correction I make gets instantly re-edited, even though there are plenty of other corrections needed, which get ignored.
And you wonder why I take it personally!

- I have been pondering the same thing myself while I have been expanding and editing the page. It would mean that all the pages that were created by @Ambak51: for the different lengths would need to be merged back into the new motor lifeboats page.
- Wiki naming policy for disambiguating titles and avoiding acronyms would require:
- Watson-class lifeboat (pulling and sailing)
- Watson-class lifeboat (motor)
- Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Don't see why it would all need remerging.
- Separate off Pulling and Sailing.
- And create a list page like we have for RNLI stations, for all the different motor pages.

- It doesn't seem to make sense that this page should have two of the lists but readers have to go elsewhere to find the details of others. If I want to find out a bout Watson-class RNLB Charles Henry Ashley, which page do I go to?.
- If there really is a need to split the motor lifeboats into smaller pages then I think we should take a step back and consider how the different designs relate. Is it that there are just three, each produced with two or more lengths?
- Single-engine petrol lifeboats
- Twin-engine petrol lifeboats
- Diesel-engined lifeboats
- Fewer pages; similar designs and build dates are grouped together; less confusion. Geof Sheppard (talk) 13:11, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
