Unless there is a way to make them display the data graphically (sort of like http://inara.cz/galaxy-blueprint/55) in a way  that is worth the time to implement, then I guess its no different than just making tables.  Although when I tried making it with the new wikia infobox type I saw that there was a way to make parts collapsible.  I don't know if that was something easy to do using the lua coded ones, but with collapsible sections it would make things flow nicer on the page as everything could be in one "insert appropriate box type here" box.  As it is, our current page setup makes for a lot of scrolling unless people notice the page content links near the top of the page. 

It would also be nice if there was a way to setup some form of data parser template that would take as input the info from a copy paste of the section of inara and format it into a table. 

Example: highlighting the data and copy paste into notepad gives

which when formatted becomes this table

It would be great if we could have a box to drop what was copied to notepad into and then it spits out the appropriately formated table.
