Talk:576: Difference between revisions

:I'm not happy with a separate specs page either.  The idea (mine anyway) was to have some key specs at a glance high up in the article – after the short description but before any lengthy waffling.  Now admittedly on certain models the space table has suffered from overload of less relevant facts, a discussion I had elsewhere (originally shipped accessories may be of interest to some but don't deserve the limelight spot).<br/>I would propose to rename the section "Key Specifications" (can be done centrally in the template) and move excess content down on the page (or into a separate subpage if you really feel like that – most would remain pretty empty for some time to come, though). <br />BTW, the longer-term intent of the "Spec" template was to allow generating tables across devices automatically, at least for consistently named parameters like Bandwidth.  Semantic MediaWiki can do that with a little work in the template, but I have found it a bit of a pain to maintain over releases, it's a bit of a heavyweight "plugin".  Haven't researched simpler alternatives yet, however. (Oh and AFAIK there are no anal-retentive old Swiss guys here, so no danger of TW becoming RM II.  Otherwise you would have seen mandatory sections like "case style" and "sound reproduction" already :-) --[[User:Peter|Peter]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 00:49, 1 March 2021 (PST)  (PS. Howard Vollum has no Repairs sub-page – the link is red. I'll add one when I find out how to repair him, he's been sorely missed.)

:: Ok, let's not make separate Specs pages for all the instruments. And I agree with pointing to info in manuals rather than replicating it, except for a brief specs table in the page. In the specific case of this 576 page, let's move the big specs tables to a separate page and link to it from the 576 page. [[User:Kurt|Kurt]] ([[User talk:Kurt|talk]]) 10:33, 1 March 2021 (PST)
