New row

I added a introduction row to the infox, for introduction dates.--Doneve 08:53, 27 December 2011 (PST)

Speed

For those who do more of the rules and units based stuff... does the "speed" parameter refer to walking speed or max speed? Depending on which it is, could someone please update the template advice accordingly for numpties like me, please? BrokenMnemonic (talk)

It refers to the max speed. But we talk to Mbear then he can update the infobox quickly.--Doneve (talk) 11:55, 16 August 2013 (PDT)

The Year Reference field needs to be added to the template too, and to the help page for the template... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 13:21, 16 August 2013 (PDT)

Speed row updated to say:

• The speed parameter refers to the 'Mech's maximum unassisted running speed (no MASC, TSM, etc.)

Introduction Year vs. Production Year

Can someone explain to me what the difference between these two things are and which one the MUL date is? -BobTheZombie (talk) 19:28, 3 February 2014 (PST)

This something Doneve came up with for their Production stuff. Basiclly, there prototype and testing which is the Introduction, then the production year which when it was mass produced. -- Wrangler (talk) 19:44, 3 February 2014 (PST)

That makes some sense, but which one is the MUL date then? -BobTheZombie (talk) 19:52, 3 February 2014 (PST)

My presumption would be the year it entered production, but I don't know for sure.

Let me know what you want here and I'll make changes to the infobox.--Mbear^(talk) 03:49, 4 February 2014 (PST)

I would say the MUL date is Production, but it says Date Introduced on each mul page. I dunno. -BobTheZombie (talk) 04:59, 4 February 2014 (PST)

I think what the two fields are meant to capture is those 'Mech designs which had a prototype build or multiple prototype builds and then general production runs - the sort of thing that was published in the XTROs and TRO: Prototypes. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 07:36, 4 February 2014 (PST)

How about someone ask over on the official boards? (I would but I'm slammed today.)--Mbear^(talk) 09:06, 4 February 2014 (PST)
