Meirion Vaults is now Y Meirion
This is now just called Y Meirion. I would recommend just naming it Meirion so it doesn't appear under Y.

Although far from being a Welsh person (or even having any more than the most superficial knowledge of the language), I'm not sure I fully agree with you here. Perhaps the answer is for Dave to change things so that "Y" is treated in the same way as "The"? Ditto, perhaps, for the 'Olde English' "Ye"?

I'm sure you're right, thinking long term. But I'm not sure how far up anyone's to do list this sort of request is likely to get. Pubs called "Ye Olde Whatever" have been getting my goat for some time, because coming across a pub which in real life is called The Golden Lion, but which is unlisted on Pubs Galore, and then finding it (eventually) under Ye Olde Golden Lion, is intensely frustrating.
Or, as my meditation trainer put it to me last week, it's something I must learn to greet with patient acceptance.
Grrr.
Come On You Hatters!

Try bananas - the potassium is good for calming things (or not), avoiding goats (or not), or working out how new the 'Olde Golden Lion's are (or not) - or possibly potatoes (or not), avocados (or not)... grrr indeed (or not)!

I wish I'd seen this as it should really include Yr which is used when the next word begins with a vowel. As I can't think of any examples it probably doesn't matter.
I did add Y Manod in Blaenau Ffestiniog as Manod, Y so that would need changing. I also think it should have Manod as an associated area as it's right on the border of the two. I've made the change.
