I personally don't think the Uses sections need to be 'cleaned up'. I prefer knowing specific details on what each sonic has done, and a general overview would make that more complicated, in my opinion. But, I could be wrong.

:Perhaps they don't need to be complety cut down, but at least ''some'' cleaning up is needed. Look at the "uses" section of "The Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors' sonic screwdriver": we have '''34''' entries of "scanning...". And most of these are ridiculously specific: a lock of hair, an apple, cocoon, Clara Oswald. I mean, wouldn't it be a lot better to simply say that the Doctor used it as a scanner?

I personally don't think the Uses sections need to be 'cleaned up'. I prefer knowing specific details on what each sonic has done, and a general overview would make that more complicated, in my opinion. But, I could be wrong. TheTARDISLegilimens 15:00, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps they don't need to be complety cut down, but at least some cleaning up is needed. Look at the "uses" section of "The Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors' sonic screwdriver": we have 34 entries of "scanning...". And most of these are ridiculously specific: a lock of hair, an apple, cocoon, Clara Oswald. I mean, wouldn't it be a lot better to simply say that the Doctor used it as a scanner?
