We have so many views it's often a pain to discover which one I need to edit, couple this with URL redirects and it's a nightmare.

Is there anywhere in the source code of a page which lists the name of the view - thus I can use tools such as Google developer tools to find the view name?

Thanks,

Sam

First, if you have contextual links enabled, hover over the view should show a "gear" icon in the upper right of the view which you can click to see a drop down menu which will include an edit link.

Second approach is to use the inspect tool of the browser, place the mouse toward the upper left corner of the view, right click and choose inspect. The view will have a wrapper div that includes the view name.

Thanks I'm trying to remove a list of tags on this page - http://www.workbooks.com/help.html

I've right clicked on one of the tags and inspected the element to see the wrapping div. This was:

view view-community view-id-community view-display-id-page view-dom-id-afc6f74e5069be2243763e9150d6d10e

I then found a view called "Community" with a page called "Page" I then deleted this page but the tags are still showing!!

Any idea how I can seek and destroy these from showing on my page?

First a suggestion, it is better to disable a view than delete it unless you are really sure you do not need the view.

In this case, I suspect you need the view. Edit the view, select the page display, in the middle column will be a section labeled "Page settings", what is the value for the "Path" setting?

Thanks, the path is: /community which redirects to /help.html (which is the page containing the tags I'd like to remove).

The view is still enabled just the page display has been deleted. I can always undo this.

Any idea?

Since the tags are the page (everything else is blocks) you are going to need to decide what you want that page to contain. If all you want are the blocks, you could rebuild the page using the panels module to create a page with the htlp.html path that contains the four blocks.

That sounds like it might open Pandoras box.

Is there a way I can remove the tags section using css?

Note something I would recommend but this should work

.page-community .view-community {
  display: none;
}
