Fix formatting issues for bulleted lists
There's currently an issue with the formatting of bulleted lists when the title of the list also has a data value. For example, if fireboxtype does not have a value, but firearea does, the value of firearea is inline with the Firebox: label. This can be seen in the John Bull example in the template. The same issue can be seen in the Heating surface entry in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LNER_Thompson_Class_A2/2&oldid=1185099660

I have already made the required changes in the sandbox, it just needs to be reviewed and merged. Pikmia (talk) 16:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Request two extra parameters
When Template:Infobox German railway vehicle was consolidated into this infobox, there were a few errors made. I have fixed the mapping for most of them, but I need one extra parameter – over buffers – in order to correct the last outstading mapping error. I have also added over headstocks as an alternative/replacement for over bufferbeams in order to prevent future confusion.

I have made the changes in the sandbox; it just needs to be reviewed and merged.

Thanks in advance. – Iain Bell (talk) 14:55, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ I'm assuming that there is consensus for this edit. Thank you for the clear request and good sandbox edit. Please adjust the documentation as needed – it is not protected. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Update boiler heating area and other bug fixes
I have made a suggested refactoring of the boiler heating section to put totalsurface at the bottom where it belongs (and once was, once upon time...). I have also moved some of the parameters around within their sections – historically related values were in ascending order and I have attempted to revive this. I have also found and fixed a couple of errors.

I have made the changes in the sandbox; and added testcases for the heating area changes. They just needs to be reviewed and merged.

Thanks in advance. – Iain Bell (talk) 15:02, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
