As of 1.0.2 the varible "part" is very much required, or the part will not load. [[User:TG626|TG626]] ([[User talk:TG626|talk]]) 22:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Man, this page is quite old. Edited it to fix some missing examples and clarify some unknowns. Let's slowly make it 1.0.x standards. --[[User:Xcvk_122|xcvk_122]] 11:22, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Just stopped by to say thanks. I'll add things as I discover them and am reasonably sure they make sense. --[[User:Blackhuey|Blackhuey]] ([[User talk:Blackhuey|talk]]) 02:23, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
:Although I agree with the general notion of this suggestion, I would say this is overkill. Especially the last three boxes say the same. Something like this:
 
{{Box|type=error|Large portions of this page are originally incorrect or so outdated that they are no longer useable.}}
 
{{Outdated|Large portions of this page describe legacy mode options and deprecated concepts (roughly KSP 0.15.0) that are against current best practices. This page is no longer sufficient to create a part.
 
  
There is currently an updated version in development created by Greys on his userpage: [[User:Greys]]

Thank you very much for this work.  I am just fixing a borked save (lost a Kerbal and associated vessel on a rescue contract when a part was inadvertently deleted) but desperately need this information to prevent a more catastrophic editing failure and another career save start. --[[User:Brigadier|Brigadier]] ([[User talk:Brigadier|talk]]) 00:23, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

:It also adds a note to your page, in case somebody want to help improve it (all edits going on this page are basically “lost”, unless somebody manually merge/add them to your version). [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small>&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 14:30, 6 September 2013 (CDT)

Yo, I'm here and I appreciate.  I'm working on a serialization/deserialization module for Python, and your effort is going to help a ton. Thanks! --[[User:Hovis|Hovis]] ([[User talk:Hovis|talk]]) 01:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Should we really have modules listed longhand on TWO pages?  Would it not be better to link from here to the http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Module page? Should we have MOD modules listed at all? --[[User:TG626|TG626]] ([[User talk:TG626|talk]]) 7:04 AM, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
