Production numbers
Welcome to Wikipedia! I notice you've been adding some production numbers to vehicles in their infobox. That parameter is actually for the years produced, not number produced, per the instructions at Template:Infobox automobile. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 23:09, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * hi, thanks :) im just going off previous models and unsure on the best way to structure the produced numbers, and the years of that model. ive seen it was repeated in multiple cars (eg bugatti veyron) and just replicated it as it kind of looks cleaner.

 * No worries. As you've noted, it has been incorrectly added to a number of articles. The best place to put the information is in the body of the article with a reference. Best, Bahooka (talk) 23:13, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've had a look at the template that you sent, and it has a dedicated section for production. Would it be best to replicate that on pages to make it easier to find the production numbers? Ultimatesheep (talk) 23:15, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The dedicated section is for production date. It makes no mention of quantity. Please put the quantity in the article with a reference. The instructions for the production date state "The production field states the date production started and the date production ended. Dates should be expressed in years (for example, 2001–2006) or in months and years (for example, April 2001 – November 2006). Full dates should not be used in the production field of the infobox (for example, 7 April 2001 – 16 November 2006); full dates can be stated in the body of the article. If production started in any year prior to the current year and is still ongoing, 2008–present, et cetera, is the preferred style. However, 2013– is preferable to 2013–present while we are still in 2013. Vehicles that have not yet entered production should state, 2015 (to commence)." Bahooka (talk) 23:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * for rare models, wouldn't it be easier to put the produced number visible and easily available for people to find? after all, a low production number is a large drawing point to the vehicle and the wikipage in general. i understand your point, however clarity is important with these vehicles Ultimatesheep (talk) 23:36, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * If you want to change the infobox instructions, then you should discuss it at Template talk:Infobox automobile and achieve a consensus for your change. Until then we go by the instructions. That means put the production quantity in the article body with a reference. Bahooka (talk) 00:04, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * perfect! Thank you for your help on the matter :) Ultimatesheep (talk) 00:26, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Where did you source these production numbers from? I've not been able to find this data anywhere but in this article. 45.19.50.68 (talk) 02:01, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Some of these numbers look surprisingly low. What confidence do you have in these values? Asdfs1 (talk) 21:11, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * i sent emails to dealerships and connections i have who looked into the production figures Ultimatesheep (talk) 18:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
