That depends. All informational text should be in the faq, but if it is a link to some extensive source as a strategy faq or another site, it should ofcourse be linked.
For example the movement info, I think it's a good balance to have it as text in the faq with a hyperlink to the graphic presentation.

To self (or Slick): remeber to incorporate: firing order.

1.2.2 Maintenance Aptitude
Unlike other characteristics Maintenance aptitude gives a benifit differnt that what appears at first. Increasing Maintenacne Aptitude from 100% to 110% give significantly more than a 10% advantage from normal. This will in fact decrease the base maintance paid on ships from the default of 25% of it's cost by 10% to 15%.

(PS there are a few other characteristics that I'm told work in a similar fashion. like happiness, reporduction and resistance but I'm not sure what they are)

1.2.3 Reproduction Value
The reproduction value works in a similar way to the Maintenance Aptitude. Every percentage point you increase your reproduction increase the planets reporduction by one percentage point. So if you choose 110% reproduction a typical planet could increase its reproduction from 10% to 20%. Thus what seems like a 10% improvement (100% to 110%) is actually a 100% imptovement.
