 :It's nothing I can't live with, of course. Most of the time page-wide tables look nice.

 :(I ''insist'' on that right : see my suggestion for the wiki-wide table template)
 :(custom width and custom alignment : you ''have'' to allow for those)

+:Oh, and as for the centered header : it doesn't have to be centered.
+:The alignment is one of the template's parameters, by design.
+:First, the longer files (e.g., [[OBD:ONCC|ONCC]]) have a table of contents.
+::(with the fields split up, even not too thematically, it allows one to
+:::jump from the top of the page to the region one is interested in).
+:The header is supposed to fit alongside the TOC on a reasonably large monitors (see, e.g., [[OBD:CRSA|CRSA]])
+::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 17:25, 18 November 2006 (CET)
+:Second, even when there is no TOC, one can provide a few initial "words of wisdom".
+:Something that introduces the reader to the general purpose of the file
+::and outlines its layout in the most synthetic way (see, e.g., [[OBD:ONVL|ONVL]])
+:::or [[OBD:ONVC|ONVC]], or even [[OBD:ONWC:ONWC]], although it certainly need reorganizing.
+::[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 17:25, 18 November 2006 (CET)
+:Info on links, too : what kind of resources this file links to, as well as "what links here".
+:All that infromation is IMO best presented before the detailed breakdown of the structure.
+:Such a summary (very Wikipedia-like) would very well fit alongside the "header".
+:Whenever there is a TOC, I'd still have the ''TOC'' alongside the header, though.

 :I'd like to use the image template for the hex images (even if we don't need it now).
