with no blank line between — MediaWiki renders both as a visual stack.

All fields are always shown with ☑ or ☐. Fields are never hidden — an unchecked box is meaningful information (this system is not supported).

Values come directly from the spreadsheet Technical Features columns (Yes/No):

Col 11: Legacy Control System
Col 12: TMCC
Col 13: Bluetooth
Col 14: LC Universal Remote
Col 15: LC Individual Remote
Col 16: Conventional Control
Col 19: Sound
Col 20: Smoke Unit
Col 21: Odyssey (Speed Control)
Col 22: ElectroCoupler

Requires: ParserFunctions extension (ships with MediaWiki 1.39, enabled by default).

Notes

When a second manufacturer is added, create Template:LocoTechInfobox/[MfgName] with

 that manufacturer's own fields. No changes needed to this template.

The Bluetooth row is styled distinctly (highlighted background) consistent with the

 Product Line compat tables — it visually separates the protocol systems above and below.
