I suggest that we add a field directly below the symbol image, so that we can easily add an explanation if something is unclear. For example, when updating the symbol area so that it would include both the US and IEC standards, I had to resort to this bulky way of adding a caption:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Resistor&oldid=592813207
{{Infobox electronic component | component = Resistor | image = [[File:Resistor.jpg|200px]] | caption = A typical axial-lead resistor |type= [[Passivity (engineering)|Passive]] |working_principle= [[Electric resistance]] |invented= |first_produced= |symbol= [[File:Resistors.svg]] ''1. US standard <br>2. IEC standard '' }}
It would be better if there was a designated field for this, because resistor symbols aren't the only things with competing standards. Anonimski ( talk) 16:36, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
