The Command template is wonderful 08/15/2016 05:00 PM CDT
Like it says on the tin. Thanks to Absolon, I think? It makes updating command pages a breeze.

Well as much of a breeze having three characters standing in one room coughing and guffawing at each other can be.

Hrm, actually now that I'm giving kudos for it... it's a bit visually weird that command pages using the template have two high-level heading tags for the same title (YAWN COMMAND under YAWN COMMAND. Eeek!) Would it be possible to suppress the infobox title on the command's own page, yet still have it show up on the command list page? This knowledge is beyond me...

All info boxes do this, whether spell, player character, or creature. It allows us to change the text to be different from the page name if needed. E.g. adding a last name to a character, or getting rid of the (spell) qualifier for the Dispel spell as opposed to the barbarian ability.

I'm not at my computer to check easily, so I can't remember if I set up a name over ride for it or not. If so, you could just put the name as yawn, for example, instead of the default yawn command.

I want to point out that not everyone uses the default wiki skin, and some skins do not include the page name as a header in the body of the text. For those users after the change, the infobox looks like it is missing information because there is no header at all. I will re-iterate that we already have duplicate headers in some skins for templates such as spells, abilities, creatures, etc for this very reason. Infoboxes should not be missing information.

Sound reasoning. Oddly, I've never noticed it with spells -- Perhaps it's the different text weight and background colour?

In all, only a minor nitpick on a huge improvement over how Elanthipedia stores commands!
