"Do we put the footnote next to every set-related objective, or just the ones where there is some confusion?" Q: What's our #1 guiding principle here?

A: Consistency.

The footnote you added to Johann #5 and #31 is simple and generic, so it would fit just as nicely next to the name of a set without any gems wagons as it fits where it is now. Adding it to all sets also increases consistency and helps users--especially new ones--know where to go. As for "spamming" the footnotes, take a look at the Destinations table on the new Local Trains page; I invite your feedback.

On the other hand, when people become accustomed to seeing something, they often forget it's there. If the footnote is attached to every objective that requires a train set, people may forget that they don't need the gems wagon, even though the information is directly in front of them.

We can make strong arguments for both choices. Right now, I'm not sure which I'd prefer. Let's gather input from more people before we decide.
