Inconsistency with succeeding template

There is a lack of consistency between this template and {{ Ferrari road car timeline 1960-2009}}. Consider the models listed for 1968: this template lists 365 GTC, 275 GTB/4, 365 GTS and 365 GT, whereas {{ Ferrari road car timeline 1960-2009}} lists 365 GTB/4 Daytona, 365GT and Dino 206. Also, is there any reason why this template ends at 1968 rather than 1969 (i.e. the end of the decade)? DH85868993 ( talk) 02:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Why not just have non-overlapping templates, e.g. end this one in 1959, with the next one being the 1960's to 1990's, and the next one being the "modern" (as in "3rd millennium, plus 2000 :-)) cars? Guy Harris ( talk) 06:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC) reply
I considered doing that more than once, but I didn't because I reckoned it would bring no benefit. Considering the "middle" template you'd basically just have to remove the 1960s, creating a number of layout problems (see for example 365 GT 2+2, which straddles two decades) without any advantages since the template isn't overly wide or too cramped.
As for the "modern" template which I created, I decided to start in from 1996 to show the full modern V12 GT lineage (that year the Maranello replaced the 512) which I thought would be nice and create no problems given the whole template only spans two decades. Of course if consensus or when the need arise (inevitably in a few years) it can be easily modified to start from the year 2000. Anyway the inconsistencies DH85868993 mentioned back in 2008 should be long gone by now. — Cloverleaf II ( talk) 13:13, 10 February 2017 (UTC) reply
No, the inconsistencies are still there: this template lists 4 models for 1968 and 1969, whereas {{ Ferrari car timeline 1960s-1990s}} only lists 2. DH85868993 ( talk) 22:39, 10 February 2017 (UTC) reply
