 * 1) Templates are limited, i forgot the max, but 1 template cannot contain the info for all the items (even all electric loco info is too much for 1 template)
 * 2) Because database templates contain all the info, they are vulnerable for vandalism, so they have to be protected
 * 3) Protected templates require Admin rights to edit, i guess it's needless to say that there will be nothing to do for regular editors


 * 1) I didn't suggest to put all data into one template, because i'm well aware of the max text size...
 * 2) My intend was/is to set each info per locomotive/wagon in a separate page (Data page). fe. like this page
 * 3) Only the code templates need to be protected, the data pages can be left unprotected.

I have already started some coding and am doing some tests to iron out issues i am encountering during development. For my "Work in Progress" of many things see my Sandbox: User:©TriMoon™/Sandbox/test1|1 User:©TriMoon™/Sandbox/test2|2 User:©TriMoon™/Sandbox/test3|3 User:©TriMoon™/Sandbox/test4|4
