Template talk:Infobox colony

Species section
We should really lose the "Species" section of the template for a couple of reasons. 1) The in-game description contains the date the colony was founded, the population, and the capital. That's it. No species info. And 2) The criteria for species is "species that lays claim to the planet." Well, there are multiple planets that have sizable populations of more than one species without it being elaborated which government the planet is a part of. And there are other multi-species worlds that appear to be independent of any species government. Who gets it then? For example, Anhur, which until recently stated "humans" for species despite the fact that it has sizeable human and batarian populations, and appears to be independent of either the Systems Alliance or the Batarian Hegemony (if the fact that Eclipse mercs had to be hired to put down the Rebellion is any indicator. If Anhur had been part of either larger government, their own military forces would have been used). And nowhere in the description does it state that the humans govern the planet. So, given that this is the only item in the colony template not present in the in-game descriptor, and given that it is extremely prone to speculation, I think we need to ditch the "species" bit.
