I have access to lots of dimensional data regarding Halo objects. I've easily been able to add extra info missing in weapon, vehicle and ship pages. What I'm not able to as easily do is add dimensions to pages that do not already have them templated. Just general objects in the game like a neural implant, medical PDA, biofoam canister, NAV beacon satellite, things of that nature. Is there an easy way to set these pages up for this info?

While we don't have an infobox template for random objects (yet), so far we've just added the dimensions to the article text itself, maybe a trivia section. Truth is, until you came along, we've only had the dimensions for maybe a handful of random objects outside of ships, weapons and vehicles, so we don't really have an established standard for it. However, with the increasing number of measurements being provided by you, we could always reexamine this - making an infobox for objects in general is probably the best idea. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 13:44, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

There's a reason behind that and that very reason is to avoid the overuse of unnecessary template (alongside avoiding template creep and the concept of keeping it simple). Templates (and infoboxes) should only be created and added only when it is necessary. My suggestion is to add these info into the trivia section (or subsection under trivia section).— subtank 14:48, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
