Capacity factor: (GWh*1000)/(MW*365*24) or use this spreadsheet or (best of all) just use reactors-master.xlsm...

Use Mechanical Draft (Mechanical Draft) instead of Forced Draft (Forced Draft). Note that lowercase-second-word versions redirect differently.

[[GE BWR|BWR-n]] (Mark x) (should I link it as GE BWR-n (Mark x), or as BWR-n (Mark x)? I've been using the later, but maybe the former is better? I suppose sticking to what PRIS uses is better for now...)

I've been using BWR/n as well in some contexts (I wish it was more clear which was preferred — BWR/n seems to have a slight edge in many contexts but in Wikipedia's context I think sticking with BWR-n is probably better, especially given that PRIS has stuck with that format), and have made an effort to make sure that GE BWR lists both versions properly (although looking at that page it looks like I overlooked the section linking — time to fix that).

Start date template: {{Start date|2012|12|09}}

End date template: {{End date|2012|12|09}}

Nifty alternative to start date: {{Start date and age|1984|01|01|p=yes|br=yes}}

These days I prefer to avoid using the templates for the most part as you aren't supposed to use the base ones in particular more than once per article and there's almost always multiple start/end dates due to colocation of multiple units. Also, it's way easier to edit the plain text anyways. Start date and age is brilliant but suffers from the same flaw and also bloats the size of the infobox text far too much for comfort.
