Forum:Spaceports in the UWPexpand template
I was wondering whether it would be feasible and simple to edit the Template:UWPexpand
https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Template:UWPexpand
... with regards to Spaceport encodings. Currently, the template expansion only indicates details of Starports (A, B, C, D, E, X) but i was curious about the possibility of adding to this list with the Spaceports (F, G, H, Y).
I did not want to tinker with such a widely used template, and am not particularly savvy with things like wiki-markup encoding. But if it's simply a matter of editing some additional lines in that template's list, i would gladly type them in. At the moment, the expansion uses these:
| A = Excellent: Starship Construction, Overhaul, Refined fuel
| B = Good: Spacecraft Construction, Overhaul, Refined fuel
| C = Routine: No Construction, Major Repair, Unrefined fuel
| D = Poor: No Construction, Minor Repair, Unrefined fuel
| E = Frontier - no facilities
| X = No Starport
| Error in Starport Decode
... and i would suggest adding these:
| F = Good quality spaceport with unrefined fuel, minor repair facilities, no starport
| G = Poor quality spaceport with unrefined fuel; no repair facilities, no starport
| H = Primitive spaceport installation; no facilities, no starport
| Y = No spaceport
Of course, i may be overlooking other factors involved in designing and editing these templates, so i have not yet dared to touch any of the markup, and i hope somebody with experience can easily answer whether i should try this? Thank you for consideration,

I went ahead and added those Spaceport codes to the template. I have not yet noticed any breakage or obvious errors on the pages using the UWP expansion feature, but i will quickly revert the template to its previous design if anybody sees any problems.
