::Sorry, but I don't see your point. The only content on this (511A) page is a photo of a 511, which is also shown on the 511 page. So everything here is redundant, plus if someone searched for 511A and came to this page, they would miss all the 511A info that's already, and appropriately, on the 511 page. If someone comes up with lots of 511A info that they want to add to this page later on, there's nothing to prevent that. --[[User:Jadney|Jim Adney]] 30 Apr 2024 | ::Sorry, but I don't see your point.

:::Every page can have only one sidebar template which is needed to link the database to the page, ergo each variant needs to have its own page with its own sidebar. If there is sufficient information for the other model and/or the specs are different enough, the second page will be a full article as in the case of the [[AM503A]] (and why would we want to prevent that?), otherwise we just reference the base model. I have extended the 511A page to a basic description plus a link, so there's no confusion. (And fixed the wrong image, thanks for noticing this.) We can replace the -A, -B etc. page redirects with similar stub pages where relevant. As I said this wasn't necessary before the software upgrade as you would have been redirected silently. --[[User:Peter|Peter]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 04:49, 4 May 2024 (PDT) | :::''"Everything here is redundant"'' – not it's not, the data collected in the template is specific to the 511A and creates the database entry for the 511A.

:: Ah - thanks Peter - that might explain something I spotted a few weeks ago. The [[564]] page includes info for the [[564B]] but there's a separate page... I was wondering when I saw it if things were just in flux and the some other edit might come along... | :: Ah - thanks Peter - that might explain something I spotted a few weeks ago.
