Numbers and Names
This template is for filling a |size= line inside of any Infobox/Part template with a code that can stay the same, even if Squad totally changes the in-game name or dimensions of parts, and just change the plaintext conversion of the code as needed.
Objections exist to the current plaintext Text column names “Tiny, Small, Large, Extra Large”. There are a set of Short codes based on these names; logically, they should change if we change the Text names. Such a change would require a bot job to be created, or a lot of manual work; neither of which I find good reasons not to improve the wiki.
There is also a Number code, referring to the size codes used inside of game files for round parts. Recently I extended the number metaphor to Mk2 and Mk3 sizes with roman numerals ii and iii. Mk1 currently coincides with "Size 1" aka "Small", (though maybe it won't always?) and Mk1 parts have thus been left as |size=1. There has been objection to this extension.
