Hey Dragondawn!

I have a suggestion today, involving pages for individual weapons. Weapons are almost virtually guaranteed to have tweaks over the course of the game evolving in balance. For example, the table for the M12 Kobalt .50 Cal mounted weapon, found on Sunderers and tanks, is written onto the page itself and not referenced from a main page for it.

A lot of time can be saved by creating a page for the weapon itself, and having a template reference a table on the main page for imbedding. With this system, changed to the weapon's description can happen wiki-wide with one go. The page can have additional information about the weapon for interested parties (such as precise damage points, falloff, etc.).

I've worked on a project like this in the past, with loot tables. Weapon statistics changed frequently as rebalancing occurred. This saved us a lot of headache and hassle in the long run. Implementing this system early might save time down the line here.

That's my two cents!
