Template:Engineer infobox
Usage
Drop-in replacement for a bare {{Infobox}} call on an Engineer article.
Reads canonical facts from Module:Data/Engineers (one JSON page per
Engineer) when one exists for this page; otherwise falls back to whatever
named parameters are passed directly, so this template is safe to use on
an Engineer with no JSON record yet.

Empty/omitted fields are hidden automatically, same as {{Infobox}}
itself — no manual row numbering needed either way. To add or update the
canonical JSON record for an Engineer instead of passing params by hand,
see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Adding Structured Data.
Engineer infobox for Elite Dangerous Engineer articles. Article parameters override structured Engineer data defaults, so these fields can be edited directly from VisualEditor or source edit.
