Differences with Template:Primes in edo

I noticed that the pages about specific edos have inconsistent prime approximation tables. Some of them are still done by hand, while others use Template:Primes_in_edo. It seems that Template:Primes_in_edo_fs was created as a fork of that first template, but it is only used on User:Xenwolf/Fifthspan (probably for demonstration?). If I were to uniformize the tables, I'd be tempted to use the first template for multi-ring edos and the second for single-ring edos. Would that make sense?

As a side note, I notice a few differences between the templates; maybe the first one was updated after the fork? Anyway, I wish the second was the same as the first but with the extra line for fifthspan. I guess it doesn't really matter if that is changed later, since the tables are dynamically generated by the module anyway, but I could be mistaken about how modules work. Fredg999 (talk) 15:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

The postfix _fs stands for fifthspan. My goal is to add fifthspans to the first template (maybe as an option, maybe automatically added when it's unique). There are also a few things to adjust in formatting, so the hyphen in negative values will be replaced by the minus sign. --Xenwolf (talk) 06:11, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
That's what I guessed for _fs. Automatic fifthspan for single-ring edos would be fantastic, but no pressure! In the meanwhile, I'll use the regular template when needed, but I won't replace the tables that include the fifthspans for now. Fredg999 (talk) 16:18, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
