On the Boeing 767 page of Wikipedia on mobile it oddly saids Supersonic Transport instead of jet airliner but on any browser it saids jet airliner. Is this just something that happens or is there a way to fix this. The Minecraft60 ( talk) 00:51, 31 December 2017 (UTC) reply

That's lingering vandalism from a long-term abuser. It should change to the correct version if you clear the cache. Acroterion (talk) 00:53, 31 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Ok that makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Minecraft60 ( talkcontribs) 00:57, 31 December 2017 (UTC) reply

I was about to change this to "subsonic" or "jet" from supersonic, but let me try the cache clear. Thanks @Acroterion Pilotxaq ( talk) 16:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC) reply

thrust?

Why is thrust listed in "kgf" which is not a proper unit? It should be "kN" which appears to be used elsewhere.

WTF is the protection for? I cannot see this article being controversial.

The "As of" template in the accidents & incidents section - not capitalized

Pardon my ignorance but why is the "as" right at the start not capitalized? I tried a few different options with the syntax but the best I could get was the "as" capitalized but without the month. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youngjim ( talkcontribs) 15:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC) reply

See the instructions at Template:As of in the Parameters section, e.g. lc=y. -Fnlayson ( talk) 16:03, 24 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Apparently a bug in the template, in that |lc= without a value was giving lower case. -- David Biddulph ( talk) 16:35, 24 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Yes, something like that. I tried lc=no without luck also. -Fnlayson ( talk) 16:37, 24 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Data template readability

I've been looking at the data in the template chart for this and the 757 trying to decipher it, and I have to admit I am stumped. What is the meaning off this "3-Class" "2-Class" business? If it is talking about planes set up in single, double or triple class sections, the numbers don't seem to add up. Maybe "3-class" actually means all third class? I don't know. And I also can't figure out why it appears to be showing less capacity than the 757. I'll have to look at that again. But moset of all, what is this "Y" "J" "F" business? There is no key at all, and even though I know something about planes I am totally baffled. "Youth", "Juniors" and "Females"? What happened to "First", "Business" and "Economy"? Is the average reader supposed to know what these letter mean and I'm just dumb? "18F/196Y"? Idumea47b ( talk) 05:14, 6 January 2020 (UTC) reply

Y, J and F classes are economy, business and first, respectively. The booking class is explained when you leave your mouse over the letter. The code is used in airline reservations and is standard for airline seating classes. The average aviation reader is often informed. "3-Class" "2-Class" are seating arrangements. The numbers mostly add up (15+40+119=174, 18+42+150=210, 16+36+189=241 not 243 : there are 38J seats in Boeing's layout, thanks for checking, 18+196=214, 24+237=261, 24+272=296). To compare between the 757 and 767, you should compare 2-class seating not 3-class. The 757-300 does have a slightly higher 243 (12F+231Y) capacity than the 767-200 [214 (18J, 196Y)].-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 05:48, 6 January 2020 (UTC) please proofread before saving and keep questions short, thanks reply
