My concern is that this format can get too wide if, for example, it's typed out as "meters" instead of just "m" or graphical templates are used when short text can work all the same.

I see your points. The ships database entries are very long because of the image-heaviness of each page. I'd love to find a way to included all that information but not have it look like crap. --[[User:Dundradal|Dundradal]] 13:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
