:::::::Though I suppose the point is rather moot by now, the thing about the Testing site field is that it specifically exists as infobox field in the H4 visual guide, so at least the developers thought that particular information notable enough to specify (and who are we to second-guess them in matters like this?) It's not a problem as long as all if that info is conveyed in the article body, though it wouldn't have hurt to have it it in the 'box for those quick glances as well. As you pointed out in regards to the Weight field, there's no harm wherever it doesn't apply since it won't simply show up, whereas using the misc field to type out the info in the numerous cases it's specifiable (that is, deferring to the better judgment of the visual guide writers) is needlessly arduous.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 19:44, 23 June 2014 (EDT) | :::::::Though I suppose the point is rather moot by now, the thing about the Testing site field is that it specifically exists as infobox field in the H4 visual guide, so at least the developers thought that particular information notable enough to specify (and who are we to second-guess them in matters like this?)

::::::::I don't really understand the developer's rationale of needing one specific testing site but I digress. Added.— <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 04:57, 24 June 2014 (EDT) | |||
New thread basically but if people seem happy with the info box like this, then tell me so I can go ahead and expand the armours with more info and stuff. Kind of like what I did with the crawlers. I don't really enjoy leaving details left out. There's also the outside perspective to look at. What do people visiting the site think? How to facilitate people's learning? For instance, on debates and versuses, people often check wikis and sites like that for information and stats so while certain details might not be exactly what some people think of as important, for others they could be. And the pedia is like this learning center for people. Even little details can expand on things, things people take for granted. I suppose I could add those details to the page itself to have more content, although I think people on the outside would prefer having an info box, even if it's how the Venator one is right now. I also edited that one first because Sith Venator... But that's my take on it. [[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 03:55, 26 June 2014 (EDT) | |||
:You're definitely free and in fact encouraged to add information as long as it's properly sourced and not repeating what is already stated. That said, the infobox can contain info that is also stated in the article body. I do agree that the hardcore editors can sometimes get quite detached from the reality of most of the actual readership of the wiki and an outside perspective can definitely be a learning experience.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 04:46, 26 June 2014 (EDT) | |||

I am struggling to see a reason to keep the Technical specifications section. No article uses it. Not one. So can we remove it? Would make life so much easier for future pages. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 12:30, 20 June 2016 (EDT) | |||
