Spec tables
I've opened a topic on Spec templates vs. spec tables on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft page. Thought you might want to weigh in on the issue. The project guidelines are currently against using spec tables, so I've proposed ammending the guidelines to permit airliner pages to use them. - BillCJ 00:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem with the project pages when it comes to layout is that typically a handful of users have a brief discussion, come to a concensus amongst themselves and then try to impose it on the dozens of others who didn't take part. The current Spec-table is a classic example.


 * It is much better that someone change the layout on a particular page and give a valid justification. This can be anything from I think this looks better, if you agree I can change other similar pages to  this article uses a different format to similar articles and I don't think this one is an improvement so I'm going to standardise. This way is much more transparent, flexible and rewarding to those who try out new ideas, and also far less dictatorial, than I reverted your edit, not because I don't like it or because it wasn't an improvement, but because you didn't go through such and such a project page first. As far as templates making life easier, the Wikitable templates already exist and are used on all the major airlines pages. Why impose anything more restrictive?
