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)

Ooooh that is awesome! Thank you so much! Although now I'm wondering how I could have found this. On the left there is a list of links under "Editor Help", but "Templates" links to some generic mediawiki page. Would it be possible maybe to change this link to https://wiki.factorio.com/Category:Templates instead? Both https://wiki.factorio.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Templates and https://wiki.factorio.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Documentation_templates are pretty empty right now. Or maybe the style guide would be the better place? --Ndh (talk) 18:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Usually people find the templates by seeing them used on the wiki. But that doesn't refute your point, so I linked to the category in the style guide section about templates. -- Bilka (talk) - Admin 15:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

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:

Or if we should use the quality infobox template and list the items changed, like the second image attatched:

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? --Soundfoam (talk) 7:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

The quality effects should be noted in the row of the property they affect, so for example directly in the health row. So like in your first image. You can find documentation on the infoboxes, including how to do the quality, on Template:Infobox. -- Bilka (talk) - Admin 15:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
