Complexity
editI think this diagram is becoming too complex, and the article may be better served with an actual map. Useddenim (talk)
- Complex it is: navigation, water flow, lock scheme, third lock plan. Still, as a scheme, it is smart. And, of course, it is the actual map. -DePiep (talk) 01:51, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- It's the Panama Canal, sir. Not just a railway line (though the rail only has four sations, today!). These hubs are ports (as any harbour this great will be). See also: Template:Suez Canal map. -DePiep (talk) 02:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I know; I've been there, done that, and swum in Gatun Lake. I just think that if you're going to put that much detail in, an annotated map would be more appropriate and accurate than a overly-complex diagram (which is really only intended to show a basic schematic representation).

These annotations could go on a verbose legend, describing the systems (I listed above). Could not find the right BS-template. -DePiep (talk) 15:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

- Please get me right. This is not about a misunderstood icon, as your quote suggests. I am looking for a
BS*
template, that allows us to add free text to the bottom of thisBS
-based template. Over all, current, 10 colums. -DePiep (talk) 20:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC)- Use {{BS-colspan}}—that's how I inserted the horizontal rule (

A verbose legend
editI am working towards a "verbose" (wordly) legend. Asked support here. -DePiep (talk) 22:41, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Please define “wordly”. (I couldn’t find it in any dictionary.) Useddenim (talk) 03:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
