Link to component/tool/etc.
Supermagle
I think each blueprint should contain a link to the component/tool/etc. that is produced.

I think the links to components required for a bluprint should link to bluprint view, not component view - that way it would be easier to track a chain of requirements.

I thought of that, but I'm not sure what real production will look like. Actually producing everything from scratch is a huge pain. I'd say it's more likely that components will be bought, or used from stockpiles. But who knows? Currently, it takes only two clicks to do a BP view: first go to the Component, then use the BP link.
Page too large?
I've found that you can no longer get a diff between two versions, presumably because this page has grown too large. Should we consider breaking it up? And if so, how? Some wiki advice would be appreciated.

This page is definitely too big. What about having an A-K and L-Z sections like the Yellow Pages? Not sure if the list is currently in perfect alphabetical order, but a bisection should be simple enough?
The main page could keep the introduction and an index of all of the Blueprints, showing which Section of the List they are in and links to each one. Then we could move to 3 or 4 sections eventually as necessary, with pages called "Blueprints Section 1", "Blueprints Section 2" etc.

I've broken it up into sections, one per each first letter of the BP. I tried to use inclusion of the sections into a complete list, but that still seemed to cause problems, so the main page is now a list of links.
