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?
