First of all sorry for the long delay, my RL work is eating me up the last days/weeks.

This means that it is somewhat important to wiki users to be able to view pages on both their PC and tablet/phone/low end device. In "normal" Webdesign, you would do that with a responsive design, that adapts to the Display capabilities of the device used. On a PC you would see a version i.e. with more or wider columns, while on a mobile device you would see a more compact one.

Would you be interested in helping to pursue automatic population of the listing tables? Basically, since we have a standardized template (at least for locos and wagons), the automatic solution should be able to pull specific fields from each page to populate a table. You can keep me posted about that. If I understand it right, when all detail pages are using templates, the - lets call it generate table function - will pull the information from all pages tagged i.e. with a keyword "cargo wagons" and from each page then parameters like "name", "image", "cargo type" and so on to fill a row of the table. That would require a filter operation on all pages to get those with the content wanted and a parsing operation to get the values of the paramters on that page to fill the table row. I am not sure if those capabilities reside in wiki. But we can discuss that if you like. That be successful, we could try it on an example like cargo wagons and see if it works. And if it does, it is perhaps also possible to generate different versions of the table from the detail pages for different devices and/or different grades of detail shown.
