In the infoboxes, there is a parameter to specify Spartanness of conduits. There are only two possible values ("yes" and "no"). The parameter is not applied consistently across the wiki. It doesn't convey any clear technical information of the kind that could work well in an infobox.
I suggest to deprecate the infobox parameter, and to hide the line from the display (so it doesn't show even when specified). I think the "degree of constructibility" of patterns can only be correctly clearly explained in plain text outside the infobox.
Previous discussion: Future of the spartan parameter
Several other current issues:
With the discovery of Thessalonic G-to-H ( viewtopic.php?p=187352#p187352 viewtopic.php?p=187510#p187510 ), the claim "It still holds the record..." is no longer true on the following page:
Stephen_Silver&oldid=95119
In the following pages, 'spartan' should be corrected to 'Spartan':
Tutorials/Catalyses
Stephen Silver
HLx69R
Century
Pattern of the Year
Pavel Grankovskiy
QuickSilver Demonoid
Spartan G-to-W-to-H
The following pages (also with occurrences of 'spartan') should instead say 'neo-Spartan':
Chapman-Greene construction arm
Goucher-Grankovskiy construction arm
Syringe
Keeper
The last pattern on the following page is not Spartan:
