Is there any good reason why the tables shouldn't just be incorporated into the source code of this page? --Dannii 07:22, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

For one thing, it means you can edit the data without worrying about adding new columns since then it will just make blank entries instead of messing up the formatting. Another is that you don't need to add to every single table. Also, it is a data-oriented system so you can reformat the data in other ways if you want to. (I just happen to think this data-oriented system is better.) --Zzo38 05:09, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Okay, so how can we edit this page? The information for Frotz is way out of date. DavidG (talk) 06:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
I've added an opening paragraph to the page. I agree that the tables should be in the source code of the page - feel free to move them - but in the long term we want everything to be on the software database, so probably the focus should be on adding information to the relevant pages. If you would like new database fields, you could suggest them here. Jonathan (talk) 00:51, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
