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?

Yes, that I understand - compressing repetition into a single point. That I'd be fine with. Removing all specific detail, however, is what I'm against.TheTARDISLegilimens 15:08, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

Page splitting

I know this page is very long and is getting overcluttered. As such, would it be more beneficial to split the page into different models? For example, we could have one page dedicated to the First and Second Doctors' sonic screwdriver, another for the Third Doctor's model, etc. On each page, there could be lists for each Sonic's usages and this main page could be used as a general overview of the device. It may make navigation a bit overcomplicated, but it could clean up the page and save space. What is the general consensus on this idea? Mc dark knight 2013 21:19, December 14, 2019 (UTC)
