== Adding 'Quality' to Non-Space-Age Pages ==
I was editing the page for the Solar panel infobox to include quality information, but I wanted to check if there was a certain way we wanted to do this.
Either adding it directly to the boxes quality affects, like the first image attached:
[[File:Solarpanelquality-editor question.png|thumb]]
Or if we should use the quality infobox template and list the items changed, like the second image attatched:
[[File:Solarpanelquality-editor question2.png|thumb]]
Are either of these appropriate? If so which one? Is there another way that would work better to the style and legibility of the wiki?

How can I add a blueprint?

I would like to edit https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Combinator_tutorial#Memory, and I would like to add blueprints to make it easier to follow along. I would very much appreciate some guidance on the preferred way of sharing blueprints here on the Wiki. --Ndh (talk) 17:30, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, you interest is appreciated! You can use Template:BlueprintString for blueprint strings, see Inserters#Inserter_Throughput for example. Tutorial:Circuit_network_cookbook#Memory_Cell_/_Counter may also interest you. Happy editing! -- Bilka (talk) - Admin 17:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Adding 'Quality' to Non-Space-Age Pages
