This page is essentially a list of mills. It is neither appropriate nor feasible to list every mill that ever existed. There are far too many mills that are listed without there being any article. Some one else (whose work I reverted from) removed links to external sites for two mills. I have restored these but have placed the link after the item in the list, so that the existence of an external link is apparent. I suspect this ought to be done with various others. Ideally every notable mill should have an article, but that is a counsel of perfection. Where a mill is open as a museum, it is presumably notable, and should have an article, but a link to an external website is better than nothing. Peterkingiron 22:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Should this article be renamed List of Watermills in the United Kingdom? — Scouter Sig 06:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Why isn't there a list of just working mills? There certainly aren't many - I believe there's only one in Wales (St Fagans) 81.103.127.138 20:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I propose that the list should be severely culled, to remove redlinks to mills that are not going to have their own articles. Mills which are likely to have their own articles in the future should have an entry, but not as a redlink, which can be created just before the article goes live if an editor prepares it in their sandbox. If this article was to be a list of all watermills ever to exist in the UK we are talking of tens of thousands! For an example of what I mean see the Kent section of Windmills in the United Kingdom.

Both waterwheels in the Isle of Man section, Groudle Glen & Laxey, don't belong here as neither is a mill, both were used for pumping water. I would propose they are deleted. Murgatroyd49 ( talk) 12:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enhance coverage of NT sites. You can find the pilot edits here, as well as a statement and contact details for the National Trust. I am leaving this message when I make a first edit to a page; please do get in touch if you have any concerns. Lajmmoore ( talk) 08:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
