As someone who edits an article 20 times at once, remind me to never edit here. I have heard of some dictatorial, heavy handed systems, but this is one of the worst. I wonder how many good editors this site has lost because of such an assine policy?

Although I agree with what you said, YELLING LIKE THIS ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING. Perhaps you should make a new proposal about possibly removing this absurd block.

== Proposal, new weapon pages == | == Proposal, new weapon pages == | ||
I have a new proposal for the wiki. I'm sorry but this will have to be brief as my bus will be here soon. I am looking at the weapon pages and am seeing a whole lotta' gameplay related stuff in there, and when I look at the pages for different species, there is a lot less of that stuff. Why? Because it has its own ''/gameplay'' section. I think that it's even MORE important to have a ''/gameplay'' section for weapons also. It's here! I'll update this in around 8 hours!

:I think that's because most species pages would be overly long if all gameplay info would be dumped into the same article. This is not a problem with most weapon pages, some of which would almost be stubs if gameplay content was moved to a subpage. We're not a gameplay guide, but that information is what many people will be looking for, so it doesn't hurt to include it alongside in-universe information - as long as the distinction between the in-universe and gameplay info is made clear enough. It's also because articles with subpages may also suffer from overlapping info and redundancy, not to mention the desired info being harder to locate. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 07:47, 17 November 2010 (EST) | :I think that's because most species pages would be overly long if all gameplay info would be dumped into the same article.
