:OK, the generation infobox is in place at [[Jeep Wrangler]]. Thoughts? I wish it lined up nice into a single table like the old generations, but what can you do? I also think we should leave all the model-specific stuff here ''and'' in generations, since many cars only have a single generation and we don't want a sub-box unless we need one. --[[User:Sfoskett|SFoskett]] 18:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC) |

I am currently working on a new sub-template for automobile generations, called Template:Infobox Automobile generation. I propose moving generation-specific information, like platform, body styles, engines, dimentsions, etc to that sub-template. --SFoskett 18:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- OK, the generation infobox is in place at Jeep Wrangler. Thoughts? I wish it lined up nice into a single table like the old generations, but what can you do? I also think we should leave all the model-specific stuff here and in generations, since many cars only have a single generation and we don't want a sub-box unless we need one. --SFoskett 18:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Looks good, but it's missing the "Similar" entry. Regardless, I've added this template to the [{Dodge Durango]] page and am in the process of building one for the Chevrolet Nova page as well. --BRossow 00:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Nomenclature
I propose the following changes to the naming here:
- Change "engines" to "engine", "body_styles" to "body_style" to simplify and make the bits parallel
- Change "similar_cars" to "similar" since it's not all cars
- Change "shares_with" to "related" to better reflect usage in articles
I will make these changes unless anyone objects... Thoughts? --SFoskett 18:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- OK I'm making these changes... --SFoskett 14:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
